We’ve rolled out three impactful updates to the grid widget — all inspired by real user feedback. You can now copy rows with a click, control how interval dates are calculated, and enjoy a more intuitive Edit in Grid experience. Whether you’re planning, editing, or duplicating data, the grid is now faster, clearer, and easier to use than ever.

We’ve Enhanced the Calendar Widget

We’ve made some exciting updates to the calendar widget! In response to client feedback, we’ve enhanced its functionality by removing the five-event limit and introducing event filtering. These improvements give users greater control and visibility over their calendars, making it easier to stay on top of what matters most.

The new Line Chart Widget is now available!

We’re excited to introduce the latest addition to PPO’s growing library of widgets — the Line Graph Widget! Designed to help you visualise trends and changes over time, the new widget is perfect for tracking metrics like costs and benefits.

New! Group Usage Report by User Group

We’ve just added a handy enhancement to PPO’s standard usage report — you can now group by User Group! Until now, you could group usage by various resource fields (like department or job title), but not by the actual user groups set up in PPO. That’s changed.

Task-Level Planned Progress Calculation Now Available in PPO!

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.
