We realize it is helpful for our Customers to have access to the near term BrightWork 365 Product Roadmap to learn the planned direction of the solution, including the types of capability the Product Development team is intending to add. Below are our current near-term planned priorities, taken from our backlog and informed by conversations with customers. Important notice - as you would expect, this is open to change based on feedback from our Customers.

Grid

We will continue to add new capabilities to the Grid that was shipped in our 2026-1  and 2026-2 releases and enhanced again in our 2026-3 release. Some of the candidates for the next few releases include:

• Task Discussions.
• Faster and smoother import of Tasks from external sources.
• Defaulting of fields to display on the Grid.

New Gantt Chart

In our 2026-3 Release we delivered the first version of a new Gantt Chart to replace and improve upon the existing Gantt Chart. This first release delivered a "New Read-Only Gantt for Portfolio with Programs and Projects". In delivering the new Gantt, the priority is to deliver new capabilities not available with the existing Gantt first. The next few releases will continue this work and will deliver: 

• Next version of the New Read-Only Gantt for Portfolio with Programs and Projects.
• Read-Only Gantt for Program with Projects.
• Read-Only Gantt for Project.
• Gantt that is configurable for Print to PDF.

During this period, we will leave the existing Gantt and all of its current capabilities in place. Thereafter we will fully replace the existing Gantt with a new Gantt, where the left hand side of the existing Gantt (i.e., the Grid portion of the Gantt) will be the new modern and more flexible Grid already shipped since our 2026-1 Release (as described above), so we are well underway!  

Document Management and Teams Integration

In our 2026-3 Release we introduced a new document management control for two reasons: (i) to reduce the repeated authentication challenges while improving security following Microsoft guidelines and (ii) to facilitate customization requests that we needed to be able to include in the core product. In the 2026-3 Release we enabled Program defaults allowing Project Managers with an easy option for creating a consistent document management experience for project participants. Over the next few releases we intend to candidates include: 

• Add more native SharePoint Online capabilities to this new Document Control, e.g., expose:
  • Create Documents: e.g., Create Word, Excel, etc. documents.
  • Check In and Check Out and Version History.
  • Sorting and Filtering.
  • Display and switch between SharePoint library Views.
• Portfolio Teams, Teams Files and SharePoint Defaults.
• Program Teams, Teams Files and SharePoint Defaults.
• Project Teams, Teams Files and SharePoint Defaults.
• Allow the Project the option to benefit from a default set of documents / files.  

Project and Portfolio Dashboard Reporting 

• Make enhancements to the Project Management Insights report set delivered in our 2026-2 Release based on customer usage feedback, so that our Customers can use this information to improve / evolve Project and Portfolio Management practices.
• Other Project and Portfolio additions and enhancements to our Power BI dashboards. 

Notifications 

These are the first set of priorities for Notifications:

• Use the Power Platform (i.e., Power Automate) capabilities available to our Customers to send the Notifications.
• Allow for event driven (e.g., New Task Assigned, etc.) and schedule driven (e.g., Weekly Report of Overdue Tasks, etc.) Notifications.
• Allow customers to turn “on or off” these new Notifications.
• Add a Knowledge Base article explaining how to add Custom Notifications with Power Automate.
• Add a Knowledge Base article on how to add Notifications with Copilot assistance (for our customers that have access).

Artificial Intelligence

Over the next few releases we aim to deliver on a set of real-world scenarios that leverage AI for Project and Portfolio Management. Early candidates include:

• Knowledge Base articles on how Copilot can use Microsoft AI for Project Management.
• Creation of Issues, Risks, Tasks – First drafts.
• Creation of Status Report.
• Make a Prediction on likely Project Success or Project in Trouble

Automated Project Percent Complete

Give Project Managers the option to auto-set the Project Percent Complete on the Project Status Tab from the calculation in our Scheduling Engine and add the option to default in the Project Template. 

Lots More!

We have many other very cool capabilities on our Roadmap, in addition to the ones listed above. If you are an existing Customer and do not see your own #1, #2 or #3 item on the above list, please send a note to support365@brightwork.com with your feedback. We want to hear from you.
