August 28, 2026 Release Notes

Release Summary

This release brings deeper planning precision to Work Plan, Financial Plan, Resource Plan, and Project Connector. Dashboards expand with new visualization options like Treemap, along with enhanced Card, Table, Gauge, and Heatmap widgets, giving teams richer ways to explore their data. Automations gain broader trigger support and clearer approval tracking, while performance improvements across schedules, work plan saves, and OData access help teams move faster. A new near real-time Azure DevOps integration keeps connected systems continuously aligned, and a modernized Resource Center rounds out a release focused on precision, speed, and visibility.

Project Connector

Summary: Scheduling data now flows between Microsoft Project and OnePlan with greater depth and precision, giving teams more complete visibility into costs, resource allocation, constraints, and dependencies across both platforms.

Resource Cost Table Synchronization

• Cost Visibility: Organizations can now synchronize OnePlan’s resource-level cost table with Microsoft Project, giving better accuracy when calculating cost.
• Flexible Control: This sync can be enabled on a per-file basis, so teams choose exactly which project files include cost table synchronization.

Time-phased Assignment Support

• Granular Resource Planning: OnePlan now supports time-phased assignments during the Microsoft Project schedule sync, allowing resource allocation to be reflected across specific time periods rather than as a single total.
• Better Forecasting: This gives resource managers a clearer, time-based picture of how effort is distributed across a project’s duration.
