Re: Microsoft Project for the Web Transitioning to Planner

Dear colleagues,  

Microsoft is transitioning users from Project for the web to a new unified Planner experience by August 2025. This updated Planner will combine features from Project, To Do, and Planner into a single work management platform, with AI-powered tools like Copilot, support for Goals, Sprints, and advanced task tracking (premium features will require a proper paid license plan). 

Key benefits include: 

    • No migration required — existing data and licenses remain intact. 
    • Integrated Teams experience — users will need to update pinned tabs. 
    • Some legacy features deprecated, like Roadmaps and .mpp imports, with alternatives provided. 

More info: Microsoft’s official post.  

If you have any questions or concerns, please submit a ticket to the Enterprise Service Centre at (https://uoft.me/m365help).  

Kind regards,
