How the Migration Works
Discovery & Assessment
Inventory your Project Online usage (PDPs, ECFs, workflows, add-ins), integrations, and reporting. Identify SharePoint Add-In exposure and Copilot/PM Agent readiness. Deliver a modernization roadmap with options and effort.
Pilot & Quick Wins
Stand up the target solution (Planner Premium, OnePlan, or Hybrid), migrate a pilot set of projects/resources, and align governance & reports. Validate with power users.
Scale & Cutover
Iterate migration waves, finalize integrations/report packs, and run change-management sessions. Establish post-go-live support & admin runbook.
Pricing & Timeframes
Every org is different. The Quick Start packages above include fixed-scope cores (discovery, pilot migration, training) and optional add-ons (scaled data migration, custom reporting, integrations). Most customers complete pilots in 3–6 weeks and full migrations in 8–16 weeks, depending on data volume and customizations. (We’ll size this together during discovery.)
As trusted Microsoft and OnePlan partners, we bring deep expertise, proven migration frameworks, and a track record of delivering fast, seamless transitions. With us, you’ll gain confidence that your data, governance, and reporting are preserved while unlocking the full value of modern project management tools including some of those user experience wins that you did not have in Project Online.
