The Project Online Countdown: Navigating the April 1st PWA Milestone
2026-03-11 13:00 - 13:30 | Online Webinar
The Project Online Countdown: Navigating the April 1st PWA MilestoneThe countdown to Microsoft Project Online’s retirement on September 30, 2026, is officially on. But for many organizations, a critical milestone arrives much sooner: April 1, 2026.
While your active projects aren’t going anywhere yet, Microsoft is beginning to “clean house” to prepare for the final sunset. Starting April 1st, new restrictions take effect that could impact your testing environments and future provisioning workflows. Join the PPM Works team as we cut through the noise and explain exactly what is, and isn’t, changing this spring.
In this session, we will cover:
The “One Project” Rule: Why empty PWA sites will become inaccessible on April 1 and how to ensure your historical or “just in case” sites stay open.
The Provisioning Freeze: What the block on new PWA site creation means for your internal workflows and growth plans.
Active Site Safety: Reassurance on why your active, project-filled environments are safe until the final September 2026 retirement.
The Pre-April Checklist: A step-by-step guide to auditing your current environments to prevent accidental lockouts.
Beyond the Freeze: How to use this milestone as a catalyst to transition to modern solutions like the New Planner and OnePlan.
The Bottom Line: April 1st isn’t the end of Project Online, but it is the end of “business as usual.” Don’t let your organization get caught off guard by a locked environment. Register today!

OnePlan Partner of the Year: What Our Global Recognition Means for Your PPM Future
2026-03-25 13:00 - 13:30 | Online Webinar
OnePlan Partner of the Year: What Our Global Recognition Means for Your PPM FuturePPM Works was recently named the OnePlan Partner of the Year at Empower 2026. While we are honored by the recognition, this session isn’t about the award—it’s about the practical lessons we’ve learned delivering measurable outcomes for our clients.
As a preferred partner with over 500 implementations, we’ve found that the most successful organizations don’t just “install” software; they bridge the gap between technical tools and the people using them. We’re opening our playbook to share the “right-fit” strategies that earned us this global recognition. We’ll discuss how to balance governance with flexibility, navigate the Project Online retirement, and apply AI in ways that actually improve how teams work.
Join the PPM Works team for a candid conversation about the future of work and the proven frameworks we use to help our clients plan, deliver, and scale.

Migrating from Project Online: Real-World Lessons & Stories from the Field
2026-04-08 13:00 - 13:30 | Online Webinar
Migrating from Project Online: Real-World Lessons & Stories from the FieldThe move away from Project Online is no longer a “future project”—for many, it’s a current reality. But with the upcoming April 1st PWA site restrictions and the eventual 2026 retirement, how are the world’s leading PMOs actually making the leap?
In this session, the OnePlan Partner of the Year team at PPM Works goes beyond the technical documentation to share raw stories from the field. We’ll walk through real-world case studies of organizations that have already transitioned, revealing the good, the bad, and the unexpected. You’ll see how different companies chose their “right-fit” solution—whether it was the New Planner, OnePlan, or a hybrid Power Suite approach—and the specific steps they took to ensure high user adoption.
What we’ll discuss:

The “Right-Fit” Strategy: How organizations decided between a simple move to the New Planner versus a strategic shift to OnePlan.
Common Pitfalls (And How to Dodge Them): The #1 mistake teams make during data migration and how to avoid “tool fatigue” during the transition.
The “Preferred Partner” Edge: Why our clients choose a partner-led approach to handle the complex Microsoft ecosystem “plumbing” while they focus on business as usual.
Adoption Secrets: How successful PMOs used the migration as a chance to modernize their culture, not just their software.

Join us for a candid look at the migration journey. We aren’t just sharing a roadmap; we’re sharing the shortcuts and detours discovered by those who have already reached the finish line.

The New Microsoft Planner: Is It Finally Ready for Enterprise PPM?
2026-04-22 13:00 - 13:30 | Online Webinar
The New Microsoft Planner: Is It Finally Ready for Enterprise PPM?Microsoft has officially unified its work management apps into the New Microsoft Planner. While it’s a great leap forward for team productivity, long-time Project Online users are asking: “Is this a true replacement for my Enterprise PPM?” The short answer? For many organizations, the answer is no. While the New Planner offers slick Gantt charts and “Premium” features, enterprise-level portfolio management requires more than just task tracking—it requires complex resource capacity planning, financial modeling, and strategic alignment that the out-of-the-box experience simply doesn’t provide.
Join the OnePlan Partner of the Year team at PPM Works as we take an objective, “no-fluff” look under the hood. We’ll show you exactly where the New Planner shines and, more importantly, where it falls short for a modern PMO.
What we will discuss:

The Capability Gap: Why the New Planner’s “Premium” features often aren’t enough for enterprise-scale resource and financial management.
The “OnePlan” Bridge: How we use OnePlan to provide the “Single Pane of Glass” that the New Planner lacks—connecting your strategy to your schedules.
Governance vs. Flexibility: Understanding the reporting limitations of the New Planner and how to fill the gaps using the Power Platform and OnePlan.
Right-Sizing Your Solution: A framework to help you decide if your organization can survive on Planner alone or if you need the enterprise power of a “OnePlan + Microsoft” hybrid approach.
The Migration Trap: Why simply “lifting and shifting” from Project Online to the New Planner might leave your leadership team in the dark.

Don’t settle for a tool that your organization will outgrow in six months. Join us for a candid look at how to build a PPM environment that scales with your ambition.

Why Waiting to Migrate from Project Online Will Cost You - And How to Do It Before It’s Too Late
2026-05-06 13:00 - 13:30 | Online Webinar
Why Waiting to Migrate from Project Online Will Cost You – And How to Do It Before It’s Too LateIf your organization is still “staying put,” you aren’t just delaying—you are accumulating massive technical debt and operational risk. In this high-stakes session we will break down the cold reality: waiting is no longer an option. We’re moving past the “what-ifs” to show you the hard data on what it costs to migrate during the final rush, the impact of the current “maintenance-only” mode, and the step-by-step timeline you need to follow to avoid a total data blackout this September.
The Bottom Line: By September, Project Online will be gone – no read-only mode, no extensions, no exceptions. Join us for the clarity and the plan you need to act today before your legacy data becomes a liability.
