The new Altus Tasks module enables inline editing, so you can update tasks directly without opening separate dialogs, and offers a cleaner, more responsive interface that makes building task lists quicker than ever before. These enhancements reduce clicks, streamline workflows, and deliver a modern, efficient scheduling experience. See this in Product board. Important: If your organisation uses Altus solution with customisations, please ensure to perform sufficient testing before implementing this update to Production environment.	🔴High

This update introduces a simplified menu structure that consolidates key areas: Work, Projects, and Portfolios, into a unified Initiatives section, reducing clutter and making it easier to find what you need. The refreshed navigation also removes redundant links, streamlines access to Strategy and Resources, and ensures a consistent layout across devices. These changes are designed to help users stay oriented, minimise clicks, and improve overall productivity. See this in Product board. Check out these videos for users and administrators to understand more about the new Home Page and Improved Navigation.	🔴High

#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). Microsoft’s Solution Checker identified that these ownership updates were previously handled in an unsupported way, which resulted in 3 critical issues being reported. Who’s Impacted? If you’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.	🔴High

#31042	The "Display Greyscale Past Forecast and Future Actuals" in Finance settings is designed to visually indicate which values contribute to variance calculations by greying out past forecast values and future actuals. A recent regression caused this greyscale styling to appear only in the totals row, while the individual item-level values remained unhighlighted. This issue has now been resolved, greyscale cues are correctly applied across all relevant values in the financial grid.	🟢Low
#32952	Fixed UI misalignments of labels in the Prioritisation view when there was no Prioritisation Model selected or when there was a Prioritisation Model selected but not initiatives added.	🟢Low
#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.	🟡Medium

#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.

#30801	Introducing Altus Explorer (Beta) – A More Visual and Intuitive Project View Say goodbye to static project lists! With Altus Explorer, we’re bringing a more visual and structured way to manage your projects. 💡 What's new? ✔️ Hierarchical view – See projects grouped by Portfolio and Program instead of a flat list. ✔️ Integrated Gantt chart – Track project schedules and progress visually. ✔️ Enhanced filtering – Quickly find projects, even when they belong to a program but are part of a portfolio. ✔️ Better executive reporting – 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 — all in one place. Access Altus Explorer from Projects: Click on "Projects" and select the "Altus Explorer" View 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.	🟢Low

#31594	Addressed an issue in resourcing where the contour of the proposed hours was being honoured for a committed hours change, however due to calendar exceptions being introduced, had put a large negative number on the last day. Note: when calendar exceptions are introduced currently the proposed hours should be adjusted on the resource plan first, before updating committed. This is due to the contour being honoured despite calendar exception conflicts.	🟡Medium

#27073	Prioritisation - Now Available in Altus! We’re excited to introduce our new Prioritisation module, designed to help you focus on the right initiatives and drive strategic success. Flexible Prioritisation Models – Define and customise evaluation criteria to fit your strategy. Enhanced Decision-Making – Prioritise initiatives with clear, transparent scoring. Improved Resource Allocation – Identify top priorities and allocate resources effectively. Streamlined Planning – 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.	🔴High

#24500

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.
