PPO introduces Planned Progress Calculation at the Task Level, eliminating the need for MSP imports and making project tracking more seamless than ever. With this enhancement, task-level progress updates in real time, rolling up to summary tasks and the overall project for greater accuracy and transparency.
Our first quarterly product webinar of 2025 was a deep dive into the latest PPO features, designed to streamline project planning and drive greater efficiency. From our enhanced Scheduler—with free training sessions every week in March and bi-monthly thereafter—to the improved Gantt widget and new drill-down capabilities. A highlight of the session was hearing from Victor Chidongo, Africa Head of PMO at Momentum Metropolitan, who shared how they’ve leveraged PPO’s Home Page Dashboard to manage their Africa portfolio and enhance benefits tracking.

We’ve simplified how PPO calculates resource capacity by removing the System Configuration Planning setting. Going forward, capacity will be determined solely by a resource’s standard hours, making it easier to manage and track. No action is required on your part—your resource records have been updated automatically to align with previous settings, ensuring a smooth transition.
