Project Timeline

Project Professional and Project Server 2013 support ended in Apr. 2023. Organizations should move to Project Online or a supported Project Server version as quickly as possible. The accompanying timeline summarizes future releases and retirements for notable versions of Project Server (bottom) and the clients that connect to it.

Project Server Subscription Edition (SE), the latest version, requires subscription licensing. It will be supported indefinitely, but customers must regularly deploy updates. Version 22H2, the first feature update for Project Server SE and SharePoint Server SE, arrived in Sept. 2022 with security fixes but no new features for Project Server.

Project Online Desktop is the client offered with some Project Online hosted service plans and is updated in sync with the Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise desktop software. Shown here are supported and upcoming versions in the Semi-Annual Enterprise Channel where most organizations will get updates for production PCs.

Project Professional and Project Server will probably not receive new features in the future because Microsoft is focused on Project for the Web, an online service launched in Oct. 2019. Although Project Online Desktop .mpp files can be imported into Project for the Web, the subscription client does not connect directly to Project for the Web, and no plans to change that have been announced.
