Project Online is retiring September 2026. Microsoft's replacement, Planner Premium, trades enterprise PPM for AI-powered simplicity but leaves Jira teams behind. Here's where Taskstreamer fits.
Self-Updating Roadmaps
Microsoft 365 Project Management
The key differences that matter for your planning workflow
Where the differences really show up in your daily workflow
Planner Premium has no Jira integration at all. It's built exclusively for the Microsoft ecosystem—Teams, Outlook, SharePoint. If your engineers use Jira, you'd need to migrate your entire development workflow to Microsoft or maintain two disconnected systems.
Taskstreamer is a Jira plugin—it reads your Jira issues, statuses, and fields directly. No sync jobs, no data mapping. When an engineer updates a story in Jira, your roadmap reflects it instantly. One source of truth, zero context switching.
Planner Premium supports dependencies and Gantt charts, but there's no automatic scheduling engine. When a task slips or priorities change, you manually adjust downstream dates. For a single project that's manageable—for a multi-team roadmap, it's a spreadsheet exercise.
Every change triggers instant recalculation. Reprioritize a feature, add a dependency, adjust team capacity—the entire multi-team roadmap resequences in milliseconds. No manual date shuffling. No stale roadmaps.
Designed for individual project teams. The Portfolios view (Plan 3+) offers a read-only rollup of multiple plans, showing % complete and dates—but there's no interactive cross-team planning. No PI Planning, no ART coordination, no cross-project dependency resolution.
Built for multi-team roadmaps from day one. Value Groups coordinate teams. The sequencing engine handles cross-team dependencies. PI Planning views show sprint-level allocations across every team. Capacity is tracked and enforced—no team gets overloaded.
Plan 3 at $30/user/month, Plan 5 at $55/user/month. The Copilot Project Manager agent—Microsoft's headline feature—requires an additional Microsoft 365 Copilot license. For 100 users on Plan 3, that's $36,000/year before Copilot. 3,000-task limit per plan.
Transparent pricing from €36/yr/user. All features included—no tiered lockouts, no AI add-on fees. Strategy application, scenario planning, PowerPoint export, and full API access are all part of the standard license.
