Four Paths to Replace Project Online

Replacing Project Online isn’t one-size-fits-all.

Here are the four most common paths — and what each one means for you.

Path 1

Microsoft Proposed Successors

Planner Premium · Project Server SE · Dynamics 365 PO

Project Online gets split into three separate tools.

No single tool replaces Project Online at the portfolio level.

  • Planner Premium: simple tasks, no governance or financials
  • Project Server SE: familiar, but legacy-bound
  • D365 Project Ops: billing & quoting, no portfolio steering
Path 2

Modern Work Management Tools

monday.com · Asana · Smartsheet · Wrike · ClickUp

Easy to start. Hard to outgrow.

Great for execution. Not built for portfolio-level complexity.

  • Task boards & timelines — yes
  • Cross-portfolio capacity & financial control — no
  • Governance that scales with you — no
Path 3

Advanced PPM / SPM Platforms

Planview · Planisware · Triskell · ServiceNow

Powerful at scale — if you redesign first.

Full enterprise capability — at the cost of upfront disruption.

  • Advanced portfolio & scenario planning
  • Requires redesigning governance before go-live
  • Big-bang change, with retraining on new processes
Recommended path

Why We Recommend Clarity as the PPM / SPM Platform

Enterprise power without the overhead. See how Clarity integrates into your ecosystem to drive better financial alignment and smarter portfolio decisions.

Continuity without compromise

Clarity supports the same types of practices that are commonly implemented and used in Project Online today, including:

  • portfolio structures and prioritization based on project data
  • project-based intake and initiative tracking
  • enterprise resource pools with basic capacity visibility
  • project-level cost and budget tracking with portfolio-level roll-ups
  • portfolio views and executive reporting

This ensures continuity from day one — no functional step backward.

Visibility without forcing standardization

Teams continue to rely on Microsoft Project Desktop, Microsoft 365, and a wide range of third-party delivery and business systems.

Clarity fits into that reality by supporting integrations through ValueOps ConnectALL — Broadcom’s integration hub — so you can maintain connected, portfolio-level visibility across:

  • Microsoft Project Desktop and Microsoft 365 tools
  • work execution tools (agile, DevOps, service delivery)
  • CRM, finance and ERP systems
  • reporting and data platforms
  • collaboration tools

Portfolio visibility is restored without forcing teams into a single tool or way of working.

Maturity without reimplementation

Clarity does not lock you into the maturity level you start with.

When you decide to go further, you can strengthen the same practices you already use:

  • expand portfolio structures to multiple levels
  • refine prioritization with richer, multi-dimensional criteria
  • improve resource and capacity planning over longer horizons
  • introduce more detailed and structured financial models
  • enhance governance and reporting without redesigning everything
  • support waterfall, agile, and hybrid delivery models

You stay in control of how far and how fast your practices evolve.

This is where Clarity clearly stands apart

As portfolios grow, decisions increasingly depend on financial insight, not just plans and priorities.

Clarity manages financial information directly in the context of portfolios and initiatives, enabling:

  • comparison of strategic scenarios and investment options
  • budgets, costs, and forecasts aligned with initiatives
  • planned vs. actual visibility across portfolios
  • consistent cost structures across different work types
  • financial roll-ups that support real trade-off decisions

With Clarity, planning, execution, and financial control remain connected.

Strategy without forcing it upfront

When your focus expands beyond improving existing project and portfolio practices, Clarity also supports strategic portfolio management capabilities.

This allows you to move from managing portfolios to steering strategy, including:

  • planning and comparing strategic scenarios
  • managing investments over longer time horizons
  • aligning initiatives and products to strategic objectives
  • running what-if analysis across portfolios, resources, and budgets
  • gaining enterprise-wide visibility across initiatives, products, and teams

Not mandatory to start, but could become relevant when strategy, investment, and execution need to be managed together.

This combination of continuity, financial depth, and scalability is why Clarity is the platform we consistently recommend when replacing Project Online.

Adopting Clarity on Your Terms with Tricise Flex

Tricise Flex is our proven, experience-based delivery and adoption model.
It is designed to help organizations take full advantage of Clarity’s capabilities while keeping decisions, complexity, change, and implementation effort under control.

It combines predefined accelerators, structured adoption paths, and hands-on expertise — built from years of real Project Online replacements and Clarity implementations.

Tricise Flex is not a rigid methodology or a one-size-fits-all template — it adapts to your context, pace, and priorities.

Strategic Portfolio Management without disruption

How Tricise Flex Reduces Complexity

A controlled path to PPM excellence. We remove the friction of migration by replacing “Big Bang” redesigns with a modular, experience-based framework.

Predefined starting configurations designed for common Project Online replacement scenarios.

  • Fast onboarding with a focused scope
  • Proven structures aligned with your current practices
  • No blank-page design or unnecessary early decisions

Not templates — experience-based starting points

A proven approach to handle data, history, and reporting.

  • Migrate only what is truly needed
  • Preserve continuity for portfolios and reporting
  • Reduce risk and transition effort

Migration becomes a controlled step, not a blocking risk.

A value-driven adoption approach that avoids feature overload.

  • Incremental adoption in short cycles
  • Each step tied to a real business outcome
  • New capabilities introduced only when they add value

Effort stays focused on what matters most.

Tricise Flex is built on more than 25 years of hands-on Clarity experience.
That experience helps you avoid common pitfalls:

  • fewer design decisions that later need to be reversed
  • faster, more confident decisions
  • quicker time to value with fewer iterations

You don’t experiment alone. You benefit from patterns that already work.

Tricise Flex also covers how Clarity is delivered and operated.

  • Hosting flexibility (SaaS, on-prem, hybrid)
  • Licensing aligned with your adoption pace
  • Operational coverage as the platform scales

No “all-at-once” commitments.

Ready to Take the Next Step?

Moving to a new platform is always a significant step.

We want this to be a safe, confident transition — with risk kept under control.

Doing it right means understanding how you work today, what you want to preserve, and how Clarity can support you — without forcing early commitments.

Start with a Free Transition Assessment

A short, focused session where we:

  • analyze how Project Online is currently used across your organization
  • identify requirements, constraints, and potential challenges early
  • confirm what can be preserved and what needs to change
  • clarify which Clarity capabilities matter now — and which can wait
  • define a clear, detailed migration and adoption path with Tricise Flex

The goal is simple: remove uncertainty, anticipate risks, and give you confidence about the next steps.

No surprises.

No obligation.

Just a clear, safe path forward.

MS Project Assessment

We’ll respond to coordinate the next step.

Or See It in Action

If you prefer, we can also walk you through a Clarity demo, focused on:

  • continuity with your current practices
  • how adoption works in real life with Tricise Flex
  • what “starting small and growing safely” really looks like

We’ll tailor the demo to your context.

Common Questions Before You Decide

Quick answers to the questions we hear most often in Project Online transitions.

No. You can start by preserving your current portfolio practices and improve them incrementally, only when you are ready.

Yes. The goal is to let teams continue working in the tools that make sense for them — Microsoft or not — while restoring portfolio-level visibility across your ecosystem (agile work management, DevOps, service delivery, finance/ERP, reporting, collaboration, and more).

Usually not. In most cases, the core capabilities behind workflows, governance steps, and dashboards are already available out of the box in Clarity. During the transition, we focus on what you truly need, avoid recreating legacy complexity, and only rebuild what delivers real value.

No. You can adopt only what you need today and unlock additional capabilities later — without re-migration.

It depends on scope and complexity — and that’s exactly why we start with the Transition Assessment. The assessment gives us a full understanding of your current usage, constraints, and priorities, so we can define a clear and realistic migration and adoption plan.

You get a clear path: what to keep, what to change (if anything), what to migrate, what to integrate, and a phased adoption plan with Tricise Flex — so you can move forward with confidence.

Not necessarily. Tricise Flex can support SaaS, on-prem, or hybrid approaches, depending on your constraints and preferences.

No. You can start as small as you want. In fact, we usually recommend starting with a focused validation pilot and then expanding based on real usage and proven value.
