Use the MS Project Desktop Integration to continue working with Microsoft Project Desktop after the retirement of Project Online.

The integration component provides a smooth and future‑proof alternative and allows organizations to maintain their existing planning processes without moving back to a fully on‑premises environment.

Instead of deploying Microsoft Project Server and managing additional infrastructure, maintenance, and lifecycle costs, this solution offers a centrally managed and cloud‑ready PPRM environment while preserving the flexibility of local project planning.
