“Enterprise-Grade Project Management with a Modern AI-Powered Collaborative Edge”

It combines enterprise-grade project management features like Gantt charts, dependencies, and portfolio management with a modern AI-powered and collaborative experience. It feels like a strong modern alternative for organizations moving away from Microsoft Project.

Team collaboration

Teammates, clients and AI agents, all on one plan

Someone asks to join, a client opens one document, a mention reaches a phone, an agent picks up a task. Each one is on the plan in seconds. No licence each.

For Microsoft Project users

Open your plan free. Then bring it to your team.

Onplana Schedule opens .mpp files without Microsoft Project, on Windows and Mac. When the plan needs more than one person, Onplana puts it in front of the whole team, with nothing typed in again.

Onplana Schedule, free

See and edit the plan without a Project licence

A desktop app that opens .mpp and Project XML files as a Gantt chart with the critical path and float, lets you edit the plan, and saves it as Project XML, which Microsoft Project opens. No account until you publish.

More about Onplana Schedule
A rollout plan opened from Project XML: the grid beside the chart, the critical path in red and the float on the bars.

Enterprise PMO

Managing 50+ active projects with governance, resource planning, and portfolio tracking, moving off Microsoft Project files onto one platform.

See how it works

Growing PM team

10-50 project managers needing modern collaboration, AI-assisted planning, and real-time visibility, without the complexity of enterprise PPM.

IT operations

Needs SSO and SCIM, audit logs, and for sensitive data a dedicated deployment in its own Azure subscription.

Humans + AI agents, one team

An AI agent on the project, not a chat box beside it

Assign a task to an agent the way you would a teammate, in-app or to Claude Code, Codex and Cursor over MCP. It reads the project, does the work and hands back a draft for you to review.

  • Assign work to AI

    In-app agents and external agents each show up as a real org member you can assign a task to.

  • Talk to it on the task

    Comment on a task an agent is working and it picks your feedback up on its next sync. The conversation lives on the work.

  • You review the deliverables

    A handoff, a spec, a list of rows: an agent's output lands in the review inbox as a draft. It works within your permissions, anything it deletes goes to the recycle bin, and every change it makes is logged for review.

  • AI that reads your schedule

    Risk detection, plan generation from a goal, natural-language task entry and status summaries, on Claude and Azure OpenAI, one serving and one on standby.

Or connect Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, Gemini CLI or any other MCP-aware agent through the public MCP server.

Hand a task to the agent from the task itself.

Frequently asked questions

Onplana includes a built-in migration wizard. Upload your native .mpp files directly, export XML from Microsoft Project (File → Save As → XML Format), or bring a .mpx, Primavera XER, Excel or CSV plan. Our field-mapper guides you through the mapping, most migrations complete in under a day.
Both. Onplana ships with a dual-provider AI engine: Claude by Anthropic and Azure OpenAI. Onplana operates both at the platform level, decides which provider serves requests, and can switch to the other during a provider outage. There is no provider setting to manage on your side. Either provider can power risk detection, plan generation, task suggestions, natural language parsing, and the chat panel.
Yes. Onplana uses JWT authentication with token versioning, two-factor authentication (TOTP), bcrypt password hashing, HMAC-SHA256 webhooks, IP allowlisting (Enterprise), and on Enterprise+ a dedicated deployment in your own Azure subscription, with the encryption keys there too. SSO via SAML 2.0 / OIDC and SCIM provisioning are available on Enterprise plans.
Yes. The Free plan is free forever, no credit card required, with 5 members, 2 projects, the full Gantt with critical path and baselines, Kanban + calendar views, native Microsoft Project import (.mpp, .mpx, XML, XER, Excel and CSV), the core AI assistant, and working calendars. Paid plans (Professional, Business, Enterprise) add capacity and capabilities like sprints, whiteboards + pages, automation, governance, and more, with monthly or annual billing and no forced seat minimums. You can change or cancel your plan any time.
No, Onplana (onplana.com) and OnePlan (oneplan.ai) are separate companies. The names are similar but the products are different. Onplana is a Microsoft Project alternative focused on PMO governance, AI-native scheduling, and native .mpp import, founded in 2024. OnePlan is a separate, older work-management vendor that runs in the Microsoft ecosystem. If you landed here looking for OnePlan, their site is at oneplan.ai. If Onplana is what you wanted, our /compare page includes a side-by-side at /compare/onplana-vs-oneplan.
