Innovation comes in all shapes and sizes and the following improvements that have recently made their way into PPO sure do pack a punch!

Manual task duration is a thing of the past! We’ve implemented calculated task duration regardless of how you load your tasks into PPO. This enhancement helps streamline tasks within PPO which will hopefully lead to improved accuracy and most importantly save you valuable time.

Our latest product news feature introduces “setting default values” on all data fields in PPO. This administration enhancement has huge potential for streamlining data inputs, improving user experience and can even serve as an onboarding tool for the creation and automation of project artefacts like demand requests and project charters. Simply put, default values are pre-populated data inputs that users can either accept or modify.

Welcome to a double dose of innovation! In this blog post, we’re thrilled to announce some small yet powerful features that have recently been added to PPO. But that’s not all – we’ll also take you on a journey through the highlights of our 2024’s first new feature webinar.

We get that for the project manager, understanding and managing project costs (including resource costs) is crucial for effective project planning and tracking. So today, we’re thrilled to introduce you to the automated workflow that will save you precious time and eliminate manual inputs for generating your resource budgets.

You’re probably already familiar with how quickly your feed can fill up in PPO. Like when you’ve just returned from a long but well- deserved break or when you’ve already clicked the first notification and caught up on the related comments and replies. With our new “Mark All Related as Read ” feature, you can quickly reduce the items that are filling up your PPO feed.

After months of hard work, we’re delighted to unveil PPO’s customisable home page! Until now, all information on your Home Page was displayed in tables only. It’s time to say goodbye to lists and tables and hello to a new visualised view of your portfolio, project and project related items.

In our final new feature webinar for 2023, the configurable home page, multiple filter selection and BI API enhancements were showcased. If you couldn’t make it to the live webinar, well, the good news is that we recorded the session, so you can still take advantage of everything we learned!

While we’ve been making large improvements to PPO recently this post highlights the some of the smaller improvements we’ve made.

The third webinar of 2023 introduced the Board Views, Interactive Dashboards and provided a sneak peek into the soon to be launched Configurable Home Page. We know that not all our users could make it, but we hope you’ll watch the recording!
