Start: 2026-08-19 12:00:00
End: 2026-08-19 13:00:00
Location: Live Virtual Conference

What to Expect

Project Online’s retirement is no longer a distant deadline, and many organizations have moved from weighing their options to actually making the switch. In this follow-up to our earlier conversation, Microsoft Project expert Ira Brown returns for a second discussion on transitioning away from Project Online, this time grounded in the migrations he and his team have completed since.

Using the same conversational Q&A format, Ira will revisit the core migration paths, including Project Server Subscription Edition, Planner Premium, Smartsheet, and standalone Microsoft Project, and share what those transitions have looked like in practice. Expect real stories, lessons learned, and practical recommendations drawn from hands-on migration work across different organizations and destination platforms.

If you are still evaluating your options or already planning your move, this session offers field-tested guidance to help you execute your own transition with greater confidence.
