Are you missing an overview of the progress of your projects? Is the utilisation of your resources unclear, and are you tired of constantly searching for information or working with Excel spreadsheets? Then it’s time for TPG ProjectPowerPack – the next-generation software for integrated Project, Portfolio and Resource Management (PPRM), based on the Power Platform and directly within your Microsoft 365 environment!
Project Online will be retired by Microsoft in September 2026. You must plan your migration from Project Online to the Power Platform as soon as possible. As the modern successor to Project Online, TPG ProjectPowerPack is the product that allows you to connect Microsoft Project Desktop Clients to a central PPM database – mostly replacing and enhancing the capabilities of Project Online.
As a continually developed product, TPG ProjectPowerPack receives regular updates. Central data storage in Microsoft Dataverse puts an end to inefficient isolated solutions. The result: a modern and easy-to-use interface serving as a Single Source of Truth for all project management roles – AI-supported, scalable, and expandable through bidirectional integration with many third-party systems.
At its core lies a comprehensive collection of best-practice methods for project, portfolio, resource, and task management. Combine these flexibly with your preferred scheduling tool – the powerful TPG Scheduler, Planner Premium or Microsoft Project Desktop Client.

With TPG ProjectPowerPack, you can choose the scheduling tool that best fits your needs. The following options are currently available:
The ability to integrate Microsoft Project Client makes TPG ProjectPowerPack, with its central data management, a potential successor to Project Online solutions, which Microsoft will discontinue from October 2026.
| Your Challenges | The TPG ProjectPowerPack Advantage | |
| Using multiple tools makes managing projects harder. | One platform for all your projects: Plan, track and manage everything from one place – from tasks to workflows to files to time tracking – tailored to the way you deliver projects. | |
| Without a central, reliable data source, it’s harder to make decisions. | Everything in one place with Microsoft 365: All your key project data lives in your Microsoft environment – always up to date, easy to access, and ready to support better decisions with insights from tools including Copilot. | |
| Manual reporting takes time and often lacks accuracy. | Clear reports, instantly: Over 40 pre-built reports give you up to date views of project health, resource use and portfolio perfor- mance – powered by KPIs with options to connect with data from other applications. | |
| Tools that are hard to use end up being ignored. | Built with users in mind: A clean, modern interface, the choice of various scheduling tools, and the integration with Microsoft Teams mean teams want to use the app – with less training and fewer barriers to adoption. | |
| When systems don’t talk to each other, your data becomes outdated and unreliable. | Connected to the tools you already use: Options to link up with Microsoft Planner, Project Online, SAP, Jira, Azure DevOps and oth- er apps so your data stays current – and decisions are informed. | |
| Rigid tools make it difficult to adapt when your business changes. | Flexible and future-ready: Microsoft’s low-code/no-code tools enable you to expand the solution as you grow – no need to start over or wait extended time for developments. | |
| You can’t see how changes in one project affect others. | See how everything fits together: View cross-project depend- encies, timelines, resource utilisation and risks – enabling you to manage risks and delays before they escalate. | |
| Misaligned task planning between leads and teams creates confusion. | Keep tasks and planning in sync: Link task board with Gantt charts and ensure everyone’s working to the same plan – while tracking progress. | |
| Without a full view of team availability, some people end up overloaded while others are underused. | Powerful resource management: The overview of all available employees and their workload within the teams supports your planning at portfolio, project, or task level. | |
| Locked-in systems make it hard to share or move data. | Data that works with you: Your project data is secure on the Microsoft Power Platform, and securely ready to be imported, exported or shared with other apps when you need it. |
TPG ProjectPowerPack enables the integration of Microsoft Project Desktop Client, making it a replacement for the discontinued Project Online and offering the following advantages:
Unified Project Management Ecosystem
Cross-Project and Portfolio Insights
Central Resource and Work Management
Less Effort – Higher User Acceptance
Configuration and Extensibility
Over 27 years of consulting experience have gone into the development of TPG ProjectPowerPack. The result is a product based on modern Microsoft technology, continuously enhanced for your benefit. Choose from various planning tools, make use of the integrated task management and powerful portfolio and resource management features, as well as timesheets – all within a single product, integrated into Microsoft Teams.
Based on the flexible Microsoft Power Platform, TPG ProjectPowerPack grows together with your company. Thanks to low-code / no-code, you can extend and customise the tool even yourself at any time. Your data remains securely stored within your Microsoft 365 environment – permanently available, exportable, and serving as the foundation for the diverse use of AI. That’s why TPG ProjectPowerPack is a sustainable solution for your project, portfolio and resource management – the only PPRM tool you’ll ever need for the future.
Option 1 – TPG QuickStart: This approach provides the fastest way to get TPG ProjectPowerPack up and running. The app is deployed in your Microsoft 365 tenant and a base configuration with a defined scope is delivered. The configuration can be expanded later as needed.
Option 2 – Customised approach: The outcome of solution design workshops are implemented step by step. This may include new fields and tables, reports, workflows, views, and integration with other systems. We combine our best practices with your specific requirements to create a PPM tool that fits your organisation perfectly.
Onboarding for Maximum User Adoption: With both implementation approaches, we support you from the beginning with structured onboarding to ensure strong user adoption. A successful rollout requires more than just technical deployment—the system must be introduced holistically. All stakeholders need to be informed and engaged in a timely manner. In addition to tool-specific training, processes and methodologies must also be established to elevate your project management maturity. We offer support ranging from simple User Adoption measures to comprehensive consulting and change management services.
Different user roles – project managers, team members, and others – require specific licenses from both TPG and Microsoft. Contact us to clarify the details.
Per user
Per instance (installation)
Your organisation may already have the appropriate Microsoft 365 and Power Platform licenses in place. If needed, we’re happy to assist you with license provisioning through our Microsoft Cloud Solution Provide (CSP) offering.
TPG QuickStart is a pre-packaged, cost-effective way to deploy TPG ProjectPowerPack for a fixed price. The approach includes a workshop, implementation, and training. The result is a pre-configured solution with best-practice processes for project, portfolio, resource, and task management – all within your Microsoft 365 environment, including:
The modular and expandable product can grow step by step in line with your requirements over time as the maturity level of your Project, Portfolio and Resource Management (PPRM) changes. For example, in the future you can integrate systems including Jira, Azure DevOps, SAP, and Oracle. This ensures the longevity and security of your investment.
TPG ProjectPowerPack is deployed as a package in your Microsoft 365 tenant. Deployment can be as quick as a few hours with minimal configuration. Requirements workshop and configuration updates include:
A role-based permissions model governs access to the features for different user groups including portfolio managers, project leads, and team members.
The app is ideal for any organisation aiming to maximise their ability to deliver projects successfully. If you're seeking to move away from spreadsheets and disconnected systems, TPG ProjectPowerPack offers a unified, streamlined solution. With its user-friendly interface, modern design, and flexible configuration and customisation options, it delivers a smooth and targeted entry into professional project and portfolio management. It also provides fast implementation and immediate access to key insights across your project landscape—such as a centralised project list, resource utilisation, and a comprehensive reporting package.
Project Online is based on SharePoint Online, and Microsoft has announced that SharePoint workflows will be retired in April 2026. After that, workflows can only be created using Power Automate. So why not start thinking now about a gradual migration? Many of the modern features available in TPG ProjectPowerPack—such as Kanban boards, task management, and stakeholder tracking—are difficult and costly to implement in SharePoint. With the Power Platform, these capabilities are easy to set up and are already included as standard in TPG ProjectPowerPack.
Yes, we offer a free, guided trial environment. You’ll have the opportunity to test the solution yourself, with one of our experts available alongside you as a coach to answer any questions in real time. The session typically lasts around four hours, giving you a solid understanding of the solution and immediate answers to your key questions. If you're interested, please use the contact form on our website.
Yes, TPG ProjectPowerPack enables resource planning in various ways. You can manage individual team members, skills, or generic resources. In addition, financial data—such as budgets, planned values, and actuals—can be planned and tracked at the project level.
TPG ProjectPowerPack is built on the Microsoft Power Platform and stores all data in Dataverse—within your own Microsoft 365 environment.
Assuming your organisation already has a Microsoft 365 environment in place and the relevant IT contacts are available, technical deployment can typically be completed in a single day. The duration of further configuration depends on the scope. With TPG QuickStart for ProjectPowerPack, a preconfigured setup is available to accelerate implementation.
Training requirements vary by user role. For the standard configuration, training for project managers usually takes 1/2 day per group. Team members typically receive either a video tutorial or a handout covering the key features. If the solution is customised, training content can be adapted accordingly.

Data Exchange / Integration
Yes, TPG ProjectPowerPack can be integrated with various systems—including SAP, Jira, and DevOps—using our proven TPG PSLink integration middleware.
Yes, TPG ProjectPowerPack is integrated with Microsoft Teams by default. A dedicated team or channel can be created for each project, with project documents managed directly in Teams. Additional project information, such as project status or schedules, can also be displayed within Teams. A separately licensed TPG ProjectPowerPack Team Member app for Microsoft Teams offers an overview of all upcoming tasks for team members and the project portfolio.
Since TPG ProjectPowerPack is built on the Power Platform, nearly all project-related data—such as projects, portfolios, programs, and resources—can be copied or imported manually from Excel. Lists can typically be imported directly, and MPP files (Microsoft Project) can also be imported.
Partially. Active Directory (AD) and Azure Active Directory (AAD) typically don’t include all the data required for a complete resource pool. However, basic data—such as start and end dates or employment levels—can be retrieved from AD, AAD, or other HR applications using our TPG PSLink integration solution.
Yes, this is possible through a custom solution. You’ll need to define which data from Outlook calendars—often maintained very differently by each employee—can be structured and transferred into the TPG ProjectPowerPack base calendar. For example, importing approved vacation days makes sense, so availability for project work is accurately reflected.
Depending on the available interfaces of your time tracking system, data exchange can be implemented—either one-way or bidirectionally—as part of a custom solution. It’s also important to define how updates with actual hours will affect related planning and calculations.
CONFIGURATION & Customization
Yes, during deployment, your company’s colours and logo are incorporated into TPG ProjectPowerPack to reflect your corporate branding.
Yes, Power Platform' offers extensive options for configuration, customisation and extension. You can tailor the data model, forms, and process steps to your needs. We’ve implemented client specific process solutions for many clients – including idea management or project request workflows. With training and knowledge building, you can perform these changes independently while ensuring compatibility with future updates.
Yes, TPG ProjectPowerPack supports easy configuration of currencies. The current version includes support for German, English, French, and Arabic. Each user can choose their preferred language, and additional languages can be added using customer-provided translations.
Yes, TPG ProjectPowerPack uses Microsoft Dynamics for its permissions model, allowing you to define and extend teams and security roles. You can also expand the data model, forms, and approval processes with minimal effort.
Yes, any existing project in the system can be saved as a template. You can also assign different feature sets to different templates—for example, some projects might require comprehensive risk management, while others only need a simple issue tracker.
TPG ProjectPowerPack comes with a comprehensive reporting package based on Power BI. It includes over 40 reports covering portfolio, project, resource management, and project requests.
Yes, the standard version of TPG ProjectPowerPack includes project request functionality with configurable forms and approval workflows. Dedicated idea management or pre-project phases can be added through custom extensions. Note: idea submissions can involve users who do not yet have licenses for TPG ProjectPowerPack or the Power Platform.
Yes, for example, project managers can only see the overall workload of team members outside their own projects, not what those team members are working on. This helps assess availability without exposing unnecessary details. Users with portfolio-level access can view detailed project data to help resolve resource conflicts.
Yes, each project manager can grant read or write access to specific users for their project. Access permissions are managed through the overarching role-based model.
Other Questions
TPG has actively developed TPG ProjectPowerPack since 2020 and releases a new version approximately every three months.
Yes, team leads can create separate projects dedicated solely to recording absences and non-project (line) activities. For comprehensive resource planning – including requests and approvals at the project level – TPG CoReSuite can also be used as a complementary solution.
Yes, the schedule allows differentiation through task type selection (fixed work, fixed duration, or fixed units). Additionally, the resource plan can display and adjust work by time unit, while the duration is displayed for reference. You can also choose whether to synchronise the schedule with the resource plan.
Get a Head Start with Your Project & Portfolio Management! The QuickStart Package for TPG ProjectPowerPack delivers a pre-defined configuration based on best-practice project management methods. It comes with a wealth of templates and includes training. Your benefits: Quick implementation in days / weeks + Affordable fixed price + Flexible and scalable to meet your future needs.
