Bug #31977 Resolved 3 issues raised by the Microsoft Solution checker.
When the owner of a Project, Portfolio, or Program is updated, Altus automatically updates ownership across all related items in the hierarchy (e.g. Risks, Issues, Decisions).

Whoโ€™s Impacted?
If youโ€™ve customised the plugin Sensei_AttributeOwnershipAndRoles, review your changes. Any customisations need to be removed.

In the future:
Please do not register new plugin steps against this plugin going forward.

PBI #33125 Projects connected to External Systems can now be set so that assignments can be managed in Altus, giving project managers more control over task assignments. This enhancement allows for manual assignment management while still receiving tasks from external systems. This improvement ensures that users can timesheet against these tasks effectively.
An external system can now be set so that the resource assignments can be managed manually by Project Managers. When this setting is set Altus will no longer automatically create resource assignments based on the source system and it is up to the project manager to set this. This change will allow them to manage resource assignments only through the Gantt. For more information on this item, click here.

Bug #31975 Fixed an issue with timesheet to finance sync.

Old behaviour:
If a timesheet is recalled after having been approved and the corresponding finance data imported to the schedule, when the timesheet to finance sync is run again, the previously approved time remains after the sync is run.

New behaviour:
If a timesheet is recalled after having been approved and the corresponding finance data imported to the schedule, when the timesheet to finance sync is run again, the removal of the previously approved financial transactions will be detected and offered as an importable change.

These changes are localised to the Timesheet to Finance Service in the Data Ingestion Assembly.

PBI #28284

Introducing Inter-Project Dependencies

The new Inter-Project Dependencies feature allows you to visualise and manage dependencies across your entire portfolio or program.

This feature helps you:

  • Understand how project timelines align.
  • Spot risks and blockers early.
  • See how delays in one project could impact others.
  • Get a complete picture of your project flow - all in one place.

Inter-Project Dependency lines can be viewed on the All Projects Gantt view and the Projects tab in the Portfolio and Program records.

Need help? Check out our documentation here.

Note: if your organisation already has custom Dependencies module, this new release will cause both to appear. An organisation can choose to use existing custom module (some configuration work might be required to hide the new out-of-the-box feature), or start using this new feature.

For more detail on how to configure Interproject Dependencies click here.

Introducing Altus Explorer (Beta) โ€“ A More Visual and Intuitive Project View

Say goodbye to static project lists! With Altus Explorer, weโ€™re bringing a more visual and structured way to manage your projects.

๐Ÿ’ก What's new?
โœ”๏ธ Hierarchical view โ€“ See projects grouped by Portfolio and Program instead of a flat list.
โœ”๏ธ Integrated Gantt chart โ€“ Track project schedules and progress visually.
โœ”๏ธ Enhanced filtering โ€“ Quickly find projects, even when they belong to a program but are part of a portfolio.
โœ”๏ธ Better executive reporting โ€“ Reduce manual work by having a clear, structured view.

This new view will help you navigate projects more efficiently, making it easier to manage schedules, track progress, and provide executive-friendly visuals โ€” all in one place.

Access Altus Explorer from Projects:
Click on "Projects" and select the "Altus Explorer" Viewย

Short Video Overview of Altus Explorer here.
Need help? Check out our documentation here.

Note: when trying to use Altus Explorer on 5000 projects rows (Altus Explorer View is only filtered on Active Projects), the loading time of the page may exceed 40 seconds. Please try to use Altus Explorer on filtered views. Altus Explorer is currently a Beta version and we will soon improve the loading time performance. Rest assured, the performance is reasonable for 1000 projects (8 seconds to load), and 4 seconds for 500 projects.

Update 19 Aug 2025: Altus Explorer is now renamed to "All Active Projects - Timeline" view.

Flexible Prioritisation Models โ€“ Define and customise evaluation criteria to fit your strategy.
Enhanced Decision-Making โ€“ Prioritise initiatives with clear, transparent scoring.
Improved Resource Allocation โ€“ Identify top priorities and allocate resources effectively.
Streamlined Planning โ€“ Adjust priorities easily as business needs evolve.

How to use it?

  • Navigate to the Prioritisations in the Strategy Altus area.
  • Score and compare initiatives to make data-driven decisions.

Short Video Overview of Prioritisation here.
Need help? Check out our documentation here.
Want a demonstration? No worries, contact your Account Manager and we will organise something.

Note: As part of the Prioritisation development, we have surfaced the Goals in the left hand side navigation menu. If your organisation has already surfaced it, you may see the "Goals" showing twice in the menu. Therefore, we recommend to check the navigation menu in the Strategy Area.
Prioritisation and Goals might not appear in the Home Page if there are customisations on Strategy panel. You may need to go to Settings > Landing Page and add the Prioritisation and Goals links to improve user experience.
This new feature moves Idea form to Atsumeru layer. Existing customisations on the Idea form might become hidden and should be tested thoroughly. Please contact Client Care team for assistance if needed.

We are excited to announce Enhanced Integration for Planner Premium, which enhances several key areas of the system:

New Project Experience:

  • You can now create Planner Premium projects directly from within Altus.
  • The project creation process has been simplified, allowing you to create Planner and Planner Premium projects without needing to create a group initially. Groups can be created later when collaboration or task assignments are needed.

Upgraded Sync Process:

  • Planner Premium now requires zero setup and is included out of the box with every Altus deployment. It can be disabled in settings if desired.
  • Planner and Planner Premium projects synchronise their data seamlessly whenever the Project Manager navigates to the project, ensuring up-to-date information in just a few seconds.

Timephased Support:

  • When using an Altus project connected to Planner Premium, the timephased features of the Resource Plan, such as Create Plan from Schedule and the Schedule Column, utilise the assignment-by-day information maintained in Planner Premium.

These enhancements are designed to streamline your project management experience, making it more efficient and user-friendly.

Item Description
Bug #29848 When a resource is 100% available but not fully committed, in the Proposed Tooltip (hover over) of resource grid, odd values would be displayed in the "Proposed Availability".
This has been resolved in the Resource Plan and Resource Demand views: in the tooltip of a Proposed cell, "Proposed Availability" calculation is fixed.

PBI #30297 On the project resource plan, we have added a new column that shows the number of scheduled hours in the current project for a resource in the schedule. Based on this information the user can adjust their proposed hours to cover what the effort planned in the schedule.
Group and overall totals will then present the total unique resource schedule hours to ensure you have coverage overall for the resources in your plan.
The scheduled daily hours will be honoured when the proposed hours are changed to ensure the hours match what is scheduled.

Explanatory video.

Item Description
Bug #26856 Status Updates - Adding non-standard KPI options to the Overall KPI list will no longer change previously selected values. ๐ŸŸขLow
PBI #27781 For the finance grid: we are transitioning to use the out-of-the-box model-driven app form instead of the built-in Altus form. This will enable the use model-driven app features such as business rules, Power FX, custom PCF Controls, Event Handlers and a suite of features not supported by the old form.
This has been enabled by supporting our transaction grid in the model driven form, and can be added to your own forms.
For existing customers, the grid will still use the built-in Altus form if the quick create form is customised and will honour the finance form Altus settings if specific forms are already configured to override the built in one.
