TPG ProjectPowerPack is project management software developed as an app on the Microsoft Power Platform. More than 25 years of experience in project management have gone into this modular PPM software. Your PMO, your project managers and all other stakeholders can benefit from the many best-practice approaches for successful project and portfolio management in the Microsoft Cloud.
TPG ProjectPowerPack covers all essential methods: from initiation to planning and control through to project completion. Collaboration can take place via Microsoft Teams. For scheduling, you can use Microsoft Planner Premium (formerly Project for the Web) or TPG Scheduler – decide for yourself which scheduling tool is right for you, depending on your scheduling requirements.
TPG ProjectPowerPack provides you with many tools: a central project list, multi-project overviews, bar charts, Kanban boards, resource plans, cost plans, timesheets and status reports as well as functions for managing the stakeholders, risks, issues, deliverables, goals, documents, etc.
TPG ProjectPowerPack is deployed in your M365 environment. It enables collaboration with colleagues in a single shared PPM solution.
We recommend starting with the standard version (TPG QuickStart). This enables you to gain experience and ensure user acceptance. As TPG ProjectPowerPack is modular, configurable and individually expandable, it can grow as the requirements of your company do. The tool accompanies you as an important building block on your way to a higher maturity level in your project and portfolio management.
What you get from this central PPM product in the Microsoft Cloud:
Available as an enhancement for Microsoft Planner Premium (formerly Project for the Web) or in combination with TPG Scheduler as a scheduling component.
Get started with TPG ProjectPowerPack for your project & portfolio management! The TPG QuickStart approach guarantees you fast availability of a preconfigured PPM solution with best practice processes, standardized templates and all the necessary training. Your advantage: available very quickly + at a fair fixed price + individually expandable later on.

TPG ProjectPowerPack was developed based on the Microsoft 365 components Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI and Dataverse. This solution integrates Microsoft Planner Premium (formerly Project for the Web) or TPG Scheduler seamlessly for project planning and extends it with the following features:
Especially for large, complex projects and cross-project dependencies, TPG Scheduler can be used as an alternative planning interface. This does not change the functionality of TPG ProjectPowerPack.
“By combining various PM solutions in the Microsoft Power Platform, we were able to realize a state-of-the-art solution for project and portfolio management with the TPG ProjectPowerPack. It is integrated into all backend systems in one UI and as a single-point-of-truth.”
Andreas Stumpp, Associated Partner, Project Unit, MHP Management und IT-Beratung GmbH (a Porsche Company)
Implementation option 1 – TPG QuickStart: This approach is the quickest way to make TPG ProjectPowerPack available. The software is installed as a package in your Microsoft 365 Tenant. TPG QuickStart includes a basic configuration with a fixed scope. This can be expanded later as needed.
Implementation option 2 – Individual approach: If you opt for an individual implementation, the results of the solution design workshop will be implemented step by step. This can include new fields and tables, reports, workflows, views and the integration with other systems. We combine our best practices with your requirements to create a PPM tool that is exactly right for you.
Onboarding for high acceptance: With both implementation options, we will support you with onboarding right from the start. This creates the necessary acceptance among your users. To ensure the implementation is successful, the technical provision is not sufficient. It is also necessary to inform and involve all stakeholders in good time. In addition to tool training, the processes and methods must be established accordingly. This will increase the maturity level of your project management. We can support you with simple measures for User Adoption but can also provide extensive consulting and support as part of change management together with our partner.
For users in different roles, such as project manager, team member, etc., you require different licenses from TPG and Microsoft. Feel free to contact us to obtain the details.
You may already have purchased the right licenses for the Microsoft Power Platform and M365. If required, we are happy to support you with the provision as part of our CSP offer.

The product supports any organization looking to plan and manage more than just a handful of projects. It is easy to use, has a modern interface and is highly adaptable, and therefore makes it possible to set up professional project and portfolio management in a short time. TPG ProjectPowerPack allows quick and easy implementation and gives access to the most important information in your project environment. This information includes, for example, a project list, resource utilization and a comprehensive reporting package.
Project Online is a solution based on SharePoint Online. According to Microsoft, SharePoint workflows will be abandoned in 2026. After this, the only way to create workflows will be with Power Automate. Why not consider now how gradual migration could work? Some functions provided by TPG ProjectPowerPack (e.g., Kanban Boards, Todos, Stakeholders, etc.) cannot be mapped in SharePoint with reasonable effort. With the Power Platform, this works easily and quickly, and these functions are already included in the standard version of TPG ProjectPowerPack.
Yes, we offer a free accompanied trial. In this environment, you yourselves can test the tool, and one of our specialists is available throughout as a coach to answer your questions. The duration is usually set to four hours. This gives you a good understanding of the solution, and questions are answered immediately. If you are interested, please contact us via the contact form on our website.
Yes, with TPG ProjectPowerPack you can plan your resources in different ways. You can manage employees as well as skills or generic resources. In addition, financial data for budgets, schedule data and actual data can be planned and tracked at project level.
TPG ProjectPowerPack is based on the Microsoft Power Platform. It stores all data in Dataverse, i.e. in your own M365 environment in the Microsoft Cloud. When setting up the environment, you can decide in which region or in which country you want to store your data.
Provided that your company has already created an M365 environment and the required user profiles have been set up by your IT department, the technical deployment can usually be completed in one day. The duration of further configuration depends on the scope. With TPG QuickStart for ProjectPowerPack, we provide a ready-to-use configuration.
The training effort for TPG ProjectPowerPack depends on the role. Using the standard configuration, the training for Project Managers usually takes a day per group. Employees generally receive either video training or a handout with the most important functions. Depending on the customization of the functions, training courses must also be adapted.

Data Exchange / Integration
Yes, TPG ProjectPowerPack can be integrated with many different systems such as SAP, Jira or even DevOps using our proven TPG PSLink integration middleware.
Yes, TPG ProjectPowerPack is already deeply integrated with Microsoft Teams by default. A separate team or channel can be created for each project and the project documents are managed in Microsoft Teams. It is, of course, also possible to display further project information such as the project status or the schedule within Microsoft Teams. A dedicated app for Microsoft Teams, which can be licensed additionally, provides an even better overview of the project portfolio as well as all team members’ upcoming tasks.
As TPG ProjectPowerPack is set up on the Power Platform, almost all data for projects, portfolios, programs, resources, etc. can at least be copied and pasted manually from Excel. Most lists can be imported. In addition, MPP files (Microsoft Project) can be imported.
Partly, because typically, Active Directory (AD) and Azure Active Directory (AAD) do not contain all the data needed for a resource pool. Certain basic data (e.g., starting date, leaving date, position, etc.) can be transferred from AD, AAD or another HR application using our proven integration solution TPG PSLink.
Yes, as part of a customized adaptation. It is necessary to specify what can be transferred in what structure to the TPG ProjectPowerPack base calendar. From experience, employees maintain their Outlook calendars in very different ways. The TPG ProjectPowerPack base calendar determines when employees can be scheduled for project work via TPG ProjectPowerPack. For example, it would make sense to import approved vacation periods into TPG ProjectPowerPack during which resources will not be available to work on projects.
Depending on the available interfaces of the timesheets, data exchange can be enabled in one or both directions as part of a customized adaptation. In this context, it is necessary to determine the subsequent processes or further calculations in the plans due to the update with actual hours.
Customization
Yes, as part of the deployment of TPG ProjectPowerPack, the colors and company logo are adapted to suit your company.
Yes, the basic technology of the Power Platform offers a wide range of possibilities for customization and expansion. You can customize both the data model and forms and process steps. For many of our customers, we have integrated individual process solutions into TPG ProjectPowerPack, such as idea management or a project application process. You can also make these adjustments yourself by building up the appropriate know-how or through training. In this context, you will also learn how to implement enhancements so that future version updates are still possible.
Yes, TPG ProjectPowerPack allows easy configuration of any currency. In the current version, the languages Arabic, English, French and German are supported. Each user can choose their preferred language. In addition, customers can add any language version themselves with their own translations.
Yes, the authorization concept of TPG ProjectPowerPack is based on Microsoft Dynamics. This means that teams and security roles are defined which can also be extended. The extension of the data model, the forms and the approval processes can also be implemented with little effort.
Yes, you can define any project in the system as a template. In addition, you can define different sets of functions for different templates. For example, some projects require extensive risk management, while others require only a simple issue tracker.
TPG ProjectPowerPack comes with a comprehensive reporting package based on Power BI. In total, more than 40 reports are available in the areas of portfolio, project, resource management and project applications.
Yes, TPG ProjectPowerPack already offers project applications in the standard version with customizable forms and approval workflows. A dedicated idea management or a project preliminary phase can be implemented as part of an individual enhancement by you as a customer as well as by TPG. Bear in mind that people may be expected to enter ideas in this case who previously had no licenses for TPG ProjectPowerPack or for the Power Platform.
Yes, for instance, project managers only see the workload of employees outside their own project as a sum in the Resource view, but not what they are doing on other projects. This enables them to identify whether a resource still has capacity for their own project. People with access to the Portfolio view, however, can see the details in the projects, as it is their responsibility to resolve resource conflicts.
Yes, each project manager can assign read and write access for their project to other people individually. If no individual changes are made, access rights are based on the higher-level role concept.
Other Questions
TPG The Project Group has been intensively developing TPG ProjectPowerPack since 2020 and issues a new product release every two months.
Yes, for this purpose, the respective team leaders can create separate projects which only contain absences and operations. For complete resource planning including request and commitment at project level, it is also possible to use TPG CoReSuite in addition.
Yes, the differentiation in the Schedule is possible through selection of the task mode (fixed work, fixed duration, fixed units). In addition, there is the option to show and edit the work per time unit in the Resource Plan. The duration is only displayed there. You can furthermore select whether the Schedule and the Resource Plan should be synchronized or not.
