Microsoft 365 admin center: Project usage report retirement

[What and why]

We are retiring the Project usage report (Project activity) from Reports > Usage in the Microsoft 365 admin center. Currently, the report shows how many users are active in the Project desktop client, Project Online, and Project for the web. Because Project Online and Project for the web have been retired, the Project usage report is also being retired. Starting December 4, 2026, the Project usage report will no longer be available in the Microsoft 365 admin center, and its historical data will no longer be accessible there.

[Rollout schedule]

• General Availability (Worldwide, GCC): Rollout will begin in early December 2026 and is expected to complete by early December 2026.

[Impact on your organization]

Who is affected

• Administrators who use the Project usage report in the Microsoft 365 admin center.

Platforms and services

• Microsoft 365 admin center
• Project usage report (Project activity)
• Project desktop client

What will happen

• Administrators will no longer see the Project usage report under Reports > Usage.
• This change applies only to the Project usage report. The Project desktop client remains supported under its published lifecycle. Its features, support, and project files are not affected.
• Planner usage data will continue to be available through the Planner usage report.

[Action required and recommendations]

• Export any Project usage data you want to keep before November 20, 2026, if you rely on this report.
• Use the Planner usage report in the Microsoft 365 admin center to view Planner and Planner premium activity.
