Sunset Notice – Projects (classic)

August 7 update: additional details added to the GitHub.com sunset timeline.

Today, we are announcing the sunset of GitHub Projects (classic), which will follow individual sunset timelines for GitHub.com, GitHub Enterprise Server, and the REST API. Please see the details below for more information.

In July 2022, we announced the general availability of the new and improved Projects, powered by GitHub Issues. Since then, these new Projects have expanded to include a variety of features such as roadmaps, mobile support, project templates for organizations, project status updates, and unlimited items.

As we continue to invest in and enhance the future of Projects, we will be sunsetting Projects (classic). To migrate your existing classic projects to the new projects, please click Start migration on the banner at the top of your classic project:

The sunset will follow these timelines:

GitHub.com Timeline

  • May 23, 2024: A banner to migrate will be visible on classic projects, with the migration tooling included. Creation of new classic projects will be disabled.
  • August 23, 2024: Projects (classic) will be officially sunset. All unmigrated classic projects will automatically be migrated to new projects.
    • If projects is disabled on the organization level, classic projects under that organization will not be migrated.
    • Only cards that have been updated in the last year will be migrated.
    • During the migration process, projects v2 webhooks for the newly created projects will not be emitted.
    • After the migration on August 23, you will still technically be able to use the REST or GraphQL API to update your classic Projects. We heavily discourage this as your updates will not be persisted to the migrated V2 Projects.

GitHub Enterprise Server Timeline

  • August 27, 2024: Projects (classic) will be marked for deprecation in version 3.14. A banner to migrate will be visible on classic projects, with the migration tooling included.
  • March 11, 2025: Projects (classic) will be removed in version 3.16.
