Managing Project Governance made Easier!

Irrespective of what type of projects your organisation runs, what methodology is used and what type of Project Management Office (PMO) your organisation has, organisations with a high level of Project & Portfolio Management (PPM) maturity, or those looking to grow their maturity, manage project governance. But what is project governance?

Improved Heatmaps in PPO

Today we’re excited to share the enhancements we’ve made to the heatmaps. Heatmaps are typically used in PPO for resource planning but we can now extend this to apply to projects or risks or any of your other PPO information. See how heatmaps work today for your resource planning heatmaps.

Improved Color-Coded Date Styling

We’ve enhanced the color-coded date feature in PPO, allowing admins to selectively apply styling to active items, with the color removed once the item is completed or closed

Introducing User Custom List Add Access

We’re excited to introduce user custom list add access. Now, users can add values to your lists without needing admin permissions. This enhancement allows for greater flexibility and convenience.

PDF your Home Page

We’re excited to introduce a new feature that allows you to create a PDF of your customised dashboard views with just one click. This enhancement is designed to make sharing your personalised data insights easier and more efficient.

Maximise Collaboration with Conversations & The Feed Widget

As we continue to evolve and refine our project portfolio management tool, we wanted to take a moment to shine a spotlight on Conversations together with the Feed Widget that’s been quietly transforming the way project and product teams collaborate using PPO.

It’s now easier to view & update items

Previously when you viewed feed items or items from your home page PPO may have opened the item in the same tab or in some cases in a new tab. This was dependent on the widget and was confusing to users. We’ve fixed this and now it’s easier and consistent. See how.

Setting default column sort orders

We’ve recently enhanced PPO to allow both administrators (for all user) and users to set their own default column sort orders for each entity. Previously, users could only set a single sort order per entity and administrators could not control the default sort order. In some cases (like tasks) setting a default sort order (ie. task sort order or risk due date) are very useful to users. Furthermore, it could be useful to sort by risk due date and then risk rating to show the risks that are due soonest, followed by their severity. See how these can now be set.

Hiding Conversations

Previously in PPO when conversations were activated for an entity the conversation pane was shown on all view and edit pages for that entity. We’ve now enhanced this to allow you to hide your conversation pane if you’re looking for more screen space or you’re not a regular user of conversations.
