Work Plan

Summary: Work Plan updates add no‑code automation to streamline enterprise and everyday tasks, triggered on schedule, on change, or by date. Automations are able to send notifications, request status updates, update fields, create/copy items, route approvals, and even chain multiple actions in sequence. 
Updates also include Baseline Security, which will strengthen schedule governance with controls to define who can create the first and subsequent baselines, and per‑user remembered column view settings improve day‑to‑day usability.

• No‑Code Setup: Define triggers (schedule, item change, dates) and conditions with a simple builder.
• Notifications & Status Requests: Automatically nudge owners and stakeholders to keep them informed and work moving.
• Update Work Items: Set fields, dates, and status at scale to maintain consistency.
• Copy/Create new Work Item: Generate risks, issues, lessons learned or other items based on events.
• Approval Workflows: Automatically send items to approvers, record decisions and outcomes, and notify stakeholders.
• Action Combination: Chain multiple actions in a single automation to meet business needs.
• Scope flexibility: Apply automations organization‑wide or to specific plan scenarios.
   

• Baseline Governance: Define permissions and rules for creating the first baseline and updating subsequent baselines.
• Better Auditability: Preserve schedule history for clearer variance analysis and reporting.
   

• Persistent Column Widths: The Work Plan grid now remembers users’ column adjustments across sessions, reducing rework and speeding navigation.

Plan Files App

Summary: The new Files App centralizes document access for each plan. Plan managers can add file links to documents stored anywhere, and when connected to Microsoft Teams can browse plan-specific Teams folders, add files and folders, and open items with a single click.

Financial Plan

Summary: Combined Cost Types automatically consolidate any two cost types into a single, always‑current view (e.g., Estimate to Complete), eliminating manual updates and external automations, while Status Date (Daily) lets organizations lock costs through a specific day to tighten period control, prevent changes to closed days, and improve reporting accuracy.

• Combined Cost Types: Auto‑combine two cost types (e.g., Actuals + Remaining) to present one view such as Estimate to Complete, no manual steps or external automation.
