The 30 September closing date for Project Online is coming closer. Migrations look straightforward on paper but in practice, they’re anything but. There is data complexity but also the human aspect of a switch to a new system to be mindful of.

In the June 3rd webinar, Erik van Hurck, Senior xPM Consultant and Microsoft MVP at Context&, shares real-world lessons learned from migrating large enterprises from Project Online to the modern Projectum xPM platform. His experience is based on dozens of successful migrations delivered by Erik and his colleagues at Context&.

Here’s what you’ll take away:

  1. Clarity on what “scope” really means in a migration
    Learn how to define migration scope without overpromising, and how to align stakeholders early to avoid costly rework later.
  2. How data preparation makes or breaks your migration
    Discover why data cleanup, and preparation matter more than tooling.
  3. What actually happens during data migration
    Go beyond theory and understand the practical realities of moving Project Online data, including common pitfalls and decision points.
  4. Why rollout is not the finish line
    A technically successful migration can still fail without proper rollout and adoption.
  5. A proven, experience-based framework
    The session is structured around four clear pillars that give you a repeatable way to assess readiness, risks, and next steps.
