Why Forecast is deprecating the legacy Project Portfolio Report

This is a continuation of significantly improving your out-of-the-box reporting. The first update was with the first update rolled out on August 10th. With the added ability to group by connected projects, your updated Project Portfolio Report outperforms the legacy report, which will be depreciated on January 31st.

All the updated reports have been built to meet our customers’ reporting needs. Use them out of the box or create and save the variants you and your team needs. The updated reports have been made easier to navigate and load 4x faster. This was made possible by rewriting the code they were built on and testing them extensively during the beta phase.

What do I need to do?

To prepare, we recommend you check out the updated Project Portfolio Report while you have access to both. You don’t have to migrate any data; it’s already available in the updated report.
