# What is the connector?

Find out more about Supria's solution for the discontinuation of Microsoft Project Online.

The Microsoft Project connector lets you keep planning and tracking your schedules in Supria Workspaces, where they connect to your project's costs, risks, resources, and reports.

***

### Why does it exist?

Microsoft is shutting down Project Online in **September 2026**, leaving organizations that rely on it for portfolio-level schedule planning without a way to continue that process.

The Microsoft Project connector is Supria Workspaces' answer: a direct bridge between the tool your planners already use and the platform your organization uses to govern its portfolio. You don't have to choose between the two, or migrate every Microsoft Project user, to get portfolio-level visibility.

### What does the connector transfer?

The connector transfers far more than task names and dates:

* **Your complete schedule**: work breakdown structure, tasks, dependencies, and dates.
* **Resources and assignments**: who's working on each activity and how much time is allocated, including work distributed over time.
* **Baselines**: every baseline saved in Microsoft Project, so planned-versus-actual comparisons stay fully intact.
* **Custom fields**: the fields your organization has already configured, including both Supria-native fields and enterprise fields your team uses.
* **Performance metrics**: schedule and cost performance indicators (SPI, CPI, and related earned value metrics) calculated from the imported data.

***

### How does it work?

You publish your schedule from Microsoft Project, either by uploading it to Supria Workspaces or, in the future, directly from a button on the Microsoft Project ribbon.

In both cases, publishing is a deliberate action you take when you're ready to share an update, not a continuous background sync. This keeps you in control of what gets published and when.

### Why is this important to your organization?

The connector ensures your investment in schedule planning isn't lost and that your portfolio doesn't end up fragmented across different tools.

Planners keep working the way they already do, while sponsors, PMOs, and executives get the same consolidated, governed view of the project that Supria Workspaces already provides for everything else: costs, risks, resources, and status, all in one place.
