Neurons for PPM offers several enhancements to the out-of-the-box (OOTB) PPM features for 2023.1:

•Resourcing: PPM Managers can now assign Project Tasks to the right person (Resource) with the right skills and available capacity. They can also manage Effort around a Project and have insight into Resources to avoid exceeding capacity, limit assignment outside of job scope, and assign the right skills to any given Task.

•Program Workflow and Hierarchy: Programs allow managers to group projects into logical groups or to a specific initiative within the company. Program is an optional "layer" between Portfolios and Projects.

•Automated Project Tracking: Project Managers that are managing multiple Projects can track progress and Completion for each Project with the Completion % being based on updated Task data and pre-defined weightings. Instead of having to manually enter a Completion % for a Project with no calculation or automation defined, Project Managers can set their own weights against completed Phases and roll that up to the total Completion % of a Project for a better estimated view of Project progress.
