Many companies are affected by the discontinuation of Project Online and are now forced to search for an alternative. They do not have much time to find and install a suitable solution for project and portfolio management.<\/p>\n<p>In order to replace Project Online as quickly and easily as possible, many companies begin their search within the Microsoft product range. The success of this search depends largely on two factors: the <strong>extent of the customizations <\/strong>made in Project Online and the <strong>overall requirements for a PPM solution<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The more standard, the easier to replace<\/strong><br \/>\nThe less a company has customized the outgoing tool to its needs, the easier it is to find a quick and simple solution in the Microsoft world. For example, migrating to Microsoft Project Server SE with Project Desktop is a fairly simple and quick solution. <strong>In practice, however, such standard installations are rare.<\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\n\t\n\n\n<section class=\"snk-textMedia snk-textMedia_right snk-section snk-section_no\">\n\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"row snk-textMedia-inner\">\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col-12 col-md\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"snk-textMedia-text\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Project Online is a tool that is very outdated in terms of functionality and essentially only supports classic methods.

In conjunction with SharePoint and MS Project, Project Online became the central tool for planning and controlling initiatives for many organizations.<strong> With the spread of agile methods in project management, the weaknesses of this constellation became apparent.<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cplace.com\/en\/resource\/recording-hybrid-project-management-webinar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Everyday project work is hybrid<\/a>, but Project Online only supports traditional methods and has not undergone any meaningful innovations recently. This also applies to portfolio management, for which Project Online is frequently used.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of usability, Project Online had also long passed its zenith. Instead of collaboration, ease of use, and agility, users were faced with the rigidity of a tool that could only be operated by experts, frustration in its application, and a Highlander principle (there can only be one) that nipped creative collaboration in the bud.<\/p>\n<p>Accordingly, most companies are using the end of Project Online as an opportunity to fundamentally modernize their project management.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\n\t\n\n\n<section class=\"snk-textMedia snk-textMedia_right snk-section snk-section_dark\">\n\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"row snk-textMedia-inner\">\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col-12 col-md\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"snk-textMedia-text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tWebinar On Demand: The End of Project Online\t\t\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><b>In English<\/b><\/p>\n<p>In this webinar, learn how you can use the end of Project Online to take your project management to the next level.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"snk-btn-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cplace.com\/en\/resource\/project-online-ends-take-action-now\/\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\ttarget=\"_self\"><span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tGet informed now!\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col-12 col-md snk-textMedia-media\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"snk-media snk-media_image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cplace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/cplace_Text_Media_1080x720_Project_Online_2.png\" alt=\"\" title=\"cplace_Text_Media_1080x720_Project_Online_2\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\t\n\n\t<section class=\"snk-section snk-section_slimOnSingle snk-section_noTop snk-section_slimBtm\">\n\t\t<div class=\"container\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"snk-section-headline\"><h4>The Following Points Are Particularly Important When Searching for a Professional PPM Solution<\/h4><\/h2>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"row snk-textColumns\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col col-12 col-md-6 snk-textColumn\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"snk-textBlock snk-textBlock_slim\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4>Adaptability\u2014My Projects, My Rules<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Companies are tired of having to comply with external standards.

This noticeably <strong>increases user acceptance<\/strong> and promotes rapid familiarization.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, different users in cplace get a work environment tailored to their role.
