2 min readTransition to Microsoft Planner: Project for Web ends August 2025

Microsoft is unifying task and project management by bringing Project for the web capabilities into Microsoft Planner to manage everything from simple tasks to complex projects. This transition makes Planner the single, modern, and integrated solution inclusive of Project for the web, To Do, and Planner.

Following this transition, Microsoft is planning to retire the following workloads in August 2025.

• Project for the web
• Roadmap for the web
• Project app in Microsoft Teams
• Roadmap app in Microsoft Teams

Users will be redirected to Planner for the web and Planner in Teams as Project for the web becomes Planner.

The features listed below have transitioned earlier from Microsoft Project to  Planner over time.

• Timeline View
• Dependencies
• Sprints
• Goals tracking
• Baselines
• Lead–Lag scheduling
• Project Task history
• Portfolios

Integrated Planner

Microsoft Project for the web, Project in Teams, and Roadmap previously operated as separate Endpoints. Since Planner now supports both premium and basic plans, Microsoft is consolidating these into one endpoint to reduce confusion.

No migration or change in licensing is required—all plans previously created in Project for the web are accessible in both Planner for the web and Planner in Teams.

Transitioning to Planner

• Starting in early August 2025, for users who have not already transitioned, when launching Project for the web or Roadmap for the web, users will see a page redirecting them to open Planner for the web https://planner.cloud.microsoft; alternatively, you can also use Planner in Teams.
  
  
  
• Existing Project and Roadmap tabs in Teams will no longer open the associated projects but will inform users to re-pin their tab using the Planner tab for Microsoft 365Teams.
• The Project and Roadmap apps are no longer available in the Teams app store.
• Users can manage and create premium plans in Planner, like their current usage in Project for the web.
• The Project Power App will retain its user experience, but will be renamed as “Planner Power App.”
