Schedule Hub for MS Project
A new lease of life for your Microsoft Project schedules, with secure cloud storage and enterprise visibility across all plans. Enabling central viewing and reporting, resource management, integration and AI.
Built and Deployed in the Microsoft Cloud
How It Works
Schedule Hub for MS Project provides a secure, governed cloud repository for MS Project .mpp files in SharePoint Online, combined with automated extraction of schedule data into Dataverse (the database of the Power Platform). The result: a single, enterprise-grade dataset for reporting, governance, portfolio management, and integration.
Schedule Hub is designed for organisations that:
- Rely on MS Project Desktop for complex scheduling
- Require enterprise governance, reporting, and auditability
- Wish to avoid the cost and operational burden of on-premises Project Server
- Want to remain fully aligned with the Microsoft 365 and Power Platform roadmap, with the ability to join MS Project schedules to PPM solutions built with Power Apps or other platforms.
The Challenge After Project Online
Schedule Hub for MS Project addresses challenges you face upon Microsoft Project Online retirement:
Disconnected MS Project Schedules
No longer sharing task, milestone, or resource data across the organization.
Loss of Portfolio Insight
No cloud-native way to analyse schedule data across projects, programmes, or portfolios.
Governance Gaps
Reduced auditability, version control, and enterprise oversight.
Limited Alternatives
Project Server SE is costly, complex, on-premises, and legacy – misaligned with any ‘Microsoft cloud first’ IT strategy.
Key Features
Secure Schedule Storage
Central SharePoint library with metadata, versioning, and item-level permissions.
Seamless Edit Experience
One-click open/edit in Microsoft Project Desktop and save back to Schedule Hub.
Security & Governance
Automated permission flows, audit trails, and ownership controls via Dataverse linkage.
Viewer & Reporting
Power BI and Power Apps views for stakeholders who do not have Project Desktop.
Dataverse Extraction
Automatic parsing of .mpp files into Dataverse tables: Projects, Tasks, Milestones, Assignments, Cost, Baselines and many other tables.
Enterprise Resource Pool
Share resources across projects and get portfolio visibility of demand versus capacity by team, role or individual.
Integration, Automation and AI Ready
Data model and connectors enable Copilot-driven insights, schedule quality checks and predictive analytics, as well as integration with Power Framework PPM for full enterprise project portfolio management.
