Project plan and costs, ready for the review.

Two free tools to see dates, budget and RAG signals in a single picture — and to get projects back in order after the retirement of Project Online (30 September 2026). You can download them after leaving your email. If you then want the same cockpit already connected, you can start with ControlRoom Free, no credit card.

Project review template

Excel (.xlsx) · 5 sheets · ready to print

A file for the progress meeting: project details, activity plan, budget vs actuals, and a Review page with KPIs, RAG signals and room for decisions. Cells to fill in are yellow; variances and signals calculate themselves. It already includes a sample project, which you can replace with your own data.

Checklist: leaving Project Online in 30 days

PDF · 2 pages · ready to tick off

On 30 September 2026 Microsoft retired Project Online. This checklist is a one-month operating plan: inventory and recovery of the data, rebuilding the essential picture of every open project, choosing a destination, and making it the way of working. It includes the official Microsoft dates and the criteria for treating the transition as closed.

The two tools work on their own, in Excel and on paper. If you prefer Gantt and Kanban together with budget, variances and a review ready in a few minutes, you can try it on ControlRoom Free: an account in a few minutes, no credit card.
