[Mike Beattie]

Can OWB projects be converted to Microsoft Project?

If so, what is best practice for the conversion?

Hi Mike,

Please see below:

It is NOT supported, that any one project is opened in MSP for some users, and in OWB for some other users. Nor is it supported that a project is opened with first one scheduler (say OWB) and then its Scheduler Format attribute is changed to MSP and so users begin to work on the project with MSP. The reason is that both scheduler tools offer different features, and more importantly, each tool uses different models of the project schedule and produce a different scheduling results and have data that the other tool cannot represent.

We would recommend to continue using OWB on the projects where this is already being used. And start using MSP on the new projects on the system.
