Is there an official announcement that Project Web App(PWA) will be discontinued?

Hi @Hani-N ,
Thank you for the detailed explanation. Currently, we have a schedule in our PWA (Project Web App - see attached photo) that is connected to PowerBI. We just want to confirm if the retiring the Project Online will affect our current structure.
Based on response, we can transition to Project Server Subscription Edition which is familiar with PWA. Is that the best option we have to transition our current structure (Project Web App)?
We also want to make sure the following once we transitioned
See image below for reference
Thank you for your prompt response and hope you are having a great day.
The retirement of Project Online (effective September 30, 2026) will impact environments built on it, including PWA schedules and Power BI connections. Microsoft recommends transitioning to Project Server Subscription Edition (PSSE), which retains the familiar PWA interface and supports enterprise-grade scheduling and reporting.
Based on your needs, PSSE is the best option to maintain your current structure. It allows:

Thanks @Anonymous .
What is the best way to contact microsoft regarding PSSE about the product, demo(maybe), and integrations.
Thank you for your prompt response.
As community moderators, we unfortunately do not have the ability to directly modify or disable features within PSSE. However, we strongly encourage you to submit your ticket directly to Microsoft. This ensures that your concerns are seen by the engineering team, who can evaluate and improve the process to avoid causing further inconvenience to users.
Since you have checked all the steps, but the issue still persists, we believe Microsoft Support Engineering should step in to investigate further. Please reach out to them directly.
We sincerely apologize once again for the inconvenience you’ve experienced, and we truly appreciate your continued support and engagement with Microsoft.
Best regards,
Hello,
I see this article https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/plannerblog/microsoft-project-online-is-retiring-what-you-need-to-know/4450558/replies/4452571
I want to confirm if this is an official statement from Microsoft and if there is any workaround we can do to retain it.
"Project Online will officially retire on September 30, 2026. We know this is a significant change, and we want to acknowledge the impact it may have on your organization, your workflows, and your planning processes.
This update is exclusive to Project Online and does not affect Project desktop, Project Server, or Planner (which brings together Project for the web, Planner in Microsoft 365, and To Do)."

John --
The article is legimate. The Project Online application will be retired in one year. However, the Microsoft Project desktop application IS NOT being retired, so if you are a Microsoft Project desktop user, you can continue to use this tool. If your organization is using the Project Online enterprise application, and you want to stay in the Microsoft family of tools, your only realistic option would be to migrate your Project Online environment to a Project Server Subscription Edition (Project Server SE) environment. This means your organization would need to provide your own server(s) to host this environment, as well as your own Windows Server and SQL Server software. My business partner and I have been in communication with our existing Project Online clients, and will be assisting them with their migration to Project Server SE. Let me know if you would like to chat with us about this. Thanks! Hope this helps.
Thank you for the detailed explanation. Currently, we have a schedule in our PWA (Project Web App - see attached photo) that is connected to PowerBI. We just want to confirm if the retiring the Project Online will affect our current structure?
John -- You will need to migrate to Project Server SE during the coming year if you want to continue managing your projects in PWA. Hope this helps.
Thanks, Dale.
Is the Project Server (SE) not yet available? If yes, when it will be available?
I also see this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kvSbkRu3XM and it mentioned that MS PE Data feeds will not be available. Is that mean that it cannot be connected to PBI?
Hi @Anonymous , please, could you please elaborate further on your answer regarding licensing, as the Project Web App (PWA) is currently included in the following subscriptions:
"After all the transitions, which plans will the new Microsoft Planner be part of?"
Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum.
I understand that changes to Project Web App can lead to a lot of questions, so I want to make sure you feel fully informed and supported as you move forward.
Microsoft has officially announced that Project for the Web, along with the Project and Roadmap apps in Microsoft Teams, will be retired starting August 2025. This is part of a bigger move to bring everything together in the new Microsoft Planner, which is designed to be a more powerful and flexible tool for managing work.
You can read the full announcement here: Transitioning to Microsoft Planner and retiring Microsoft Project for the Web
