New FTE CalculationAdaptiveWork allows you now to calculate FTE for project assignments used in strategic workforce planning based on your organization’s actual work patterns and calendar exceptions, making daily, weekly, and monthly allocations more accurate across varying schedules, non-working days, and months with different numbers of working days.

Anvi Chat |
Anvi side panel now docks, not floatsAnvi now opens as a docked side panel that pushes and condenses the main screen, instead of floating on top of it. This replaces the old pop-up behavior, which covered part of the application and forced users to close the panel — ending their Anvi session — just to interact with the screen underneath. The side panel comes along with the new app switcher & new top navigation bar. |

Time-Phased Resource Assignment DataAnvi for AdaptiveWork now understands your time-phased resource assignment data — the planned allocation of resources to work items across time periods. This means you can ask Anvi about how much work is assigned, to whom, and when, and get instant answers grounded in your live AdaptiveWork data, without building a report or digging through the resourcing view.

Portfolio OptimizerThe Portfolio Optimizer introduces Anvi-assisted portfolio analysis in AdaptiveWork, helping users evaluate projects and programs within a single portfolio against objectives, targets, constraints, and available funding budget. After users start the optimization from the portfolio, AdaptiveWork returns a recommended set of investments and shares the results in-product, by email, and in a discussion post for future reference.

Labs
Labs features are in development and are not generally available. Customers can preview them through a recorded demo video and, where offered, explore them in a dedicated generic customer showcase sandbox for early testing and feedback.
Controlled Availability (CA)
Controlled Availability features are available on request and are not enabled by default. They can be enabled in Sandbox and, where applicable, Production. These features are intended for customers who want early access before broad rollout. To request enablement, please contact your Account Executive, Customer Value Advisor, or Professional Services consultant.
General Availability (GA)
General Availability features are released to all customers and are enabled by default in Sandbox and Production. In some cases, specific features may support an opt-out option. If you have questions about availability or opt-out eligibility, please contact your Account Executive, Customer Value Advisor, or Professional Services consultant.
Google Docs |
Upload from Google Docs temporarily unavailableDue to a recent Google change, uploading files directly from Google Docs in AdaptiveWork is temporarily unavailable. We're working on a fix. In the meantime, you can upload files from your computer, Box, or SharePoint. We'll update you once resolved — thank you for your patience. |
Security |
Deprecation of TLS1.2 - ON HOLDThe planned deprecation of TLS1.2 as part of the transition from TLS1.2 to TLS1.3 is currently on hold. As a result, TLS1.2 remains a supported encryption protocol at this time. The previously communicated timelines for Sandbox and Production no longer apply. We will share updated timelines in a future release note once they are confirmed. Customers using custom integrations (via APU using REST API or integration software) should continue preparing for TLS1.3 support, as this requirement will remain relevant when the transition is rescheduled. |
Deprecation of AD Sync - TIMELINE PAUSEDWe continue to recommend that customers using AD Sync prepare to migrate to SCIM as part of our longer-term direction for user provisioning and the switch to TLS1.3. At this time, however, AD Sync will continue to be supported, and the previously communicated Sandbox and Production timelines no longer apply until further notice. We will share updated timing in a future communication once a revised plan is confirmed. |

MS Teams Bot |
Deprecation of Microsoft Teams BotIn line with Microsoft’s deprecation of multi-tenant bots after July 31, 2025, we are planning to deprecate the Microsoft Teams Bot for AdaptiveWork in October 2026. Most capabilities currently provided through the bot are already available natively in AdaptiveWork, without requiring chat integration. We will review how these capabilities can be replaced with Anvi agents going forward. |
