Moving from Microsoft Project to BerryPM
Microsoft retired Project for the web in August 2025, leaving teams to choose between a desktop install and a different way of working. BerryPM keeps the discipline project managers rely on, critical path, typed dependencies and baselines, and adds what static schedules never had: immutable baselines, drift tracking, Time Machine and What-If simulation, all in the browser.

BerryPM is a good fit if your team
- Wants the critical path and float computed live, for every project, in the browser
- Needs baselines that cannot be quietly rewritten after the fact
- Wants to see what moved, when and who moved it, with inherited-delay accountability
- Runs delivery, sprints, service tickets and docs in one workspace
- Prefers per-user pricing in rupees or dollars without enterprise minimums
- Is consolidating after the retirement of Project for the web
