The New Microsoft Planner: Is It Finally Ready for Enterprise PPM?
2026-04-22 13:00 - 13:30 (America/New_York) | 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 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.
