The Projectum Wave 3 introduces several key enhancements and features designed to optimize workflow, improve user experience, and provide greater flexibility for project and resource management.
Power PPM
Power PPM is your end-to-end strategic PMO solution, built on the Microsoft Power Platform. Power PPM is designed to give organizations an overview of their initiatives, programs, and portfolios, as well as handle risk management, stakeholder engagement, financials, and more.
- Kanban board: improved business rules and governance, making it easier to govern and streamline workflows. Project managers now have better control over task progression, such as implementing a stage/gate process or customizing governance protocols
- Improved UX: Smoother user experience for the AI component in forms.
Preview features
- Prioritization and ranking: You can now prioritize and rank projects across portfolios based on strategic importance, resource availability, or financial impact to identify high-priority projects and ensure alignment between strategy and project pipeline.
- Custom Styling and Legends: Easy styling on roadmaps and tasks with improved customization options. Legends provide clear color explanations for users.
- Resource Management on Gantt Schedules: You can manage cost resources directly from the Gantt schedules to gain insights into resource allocation and cost planning, ensuring projects stay on budget and on track.
- Closer integration to Team Planner: You can now request generic resources straight from Power Gantt, and any work allocated by a Line Manager in Team Planner will be immediately visible in Power PPM.
Team Planner
Team Planner is your efficient resource demand management solution that provides a clear overview and actionable insights into resource allocation.
New features:
- Global Planner views: you can now tailor a specific organization view with different filters

- Modern Entra Permission Groups: A smoother way of enabling permission as well as support for multiple Entra groups for one permission group in Team Planner
