Next release This sector's pack (words, templates and standard indicators) is built for the next release. Today's live product uses the general words in each sector; the modules below carry their own labels.
Information and communication: words, templates and indicators
Free in every plan. Next release Built and tested on the release branch, not in the live product yet. It reaches the live product with the next release.
The sector's words
The product says these instead of the general words, everywhere in the workspace.
| General word | In information and communication |
|---|---|
| Beneficiary | User |
| Request | Ticket |
| Blocker | Impediment |
| Recurring operation | Release |
Standard indicators, with their codes
This pack's templates bring their own indicators (listed under each template). The product's catalogue of 27 standard indicators from 7 published standards can be used in any sector.
Starter templates
A template brings tasks, milestones, risks and indicators with no figures in them: no amount, no baseline, no target.
System cut-over
Rehearsals, data migration and go-live steps, each with its sign-off recorded.

Site types
The places a project works at, each with its own fields. The same five types for each sector; a road section is measured by chainage.

The modules that matter most in information and communication
Our suggestion, not a limit: any module can be used in any sector. Each label says what runs in the live product today. Labels checked on 14 October 2026 against the live product (the build of 8 October 2026) and the release branch.
Partly live
Planning & Schedule
The annual work plan, the activity outline and recorded progress.
Activities run today. The annual work plan is worked out by the engine but has no screen yet; its screen is built for the next release.
List price $40 a month
Partly live
Work & Collaboration
Requests and cases, recurring work such as monthly checks, and training events.
Today only training records run, kept by the engine with no screen. Requests and cases and recurring operations are built for the next release.
List price $30 a month
In development
Time & Billing
Timesheets, their approval, and billable time on invoice lines.
List price $30 a month
Next release
Governance
Change requests, status updates, stakeholders and project closure.
List price $30 a month
Partly live
AI & Platform
The assistant, delay insights and spreadsheet sync.
Delay insights and a spreadsheet sync from one fixed layout run today. The assistant is in the product but cannot answer yet: production is not connected to a language model, so it declines each question and says why.
List price $40 a month
Included in every plan: Core Partly live Projects, activities, approval steps, risks, the audit log and the Project Book run today. Organisation structure, meetings, blockers, stage gates, lessons and the timeline are built for the next release. And the sector pack Next release.
Prices are list prices per workspace, as decided on 2026-10-12. They apply once modules can be added one by one, which comes with the next release; today the product is offered per programme, on quotation (see Pricing). A module that is not in the live product is not sold yet.

Partly live Planning & Schedule

A scope change goes through a change request before it enters the next release.

| R2 | Pay online | In testing |
| R3 | Track status | Not started |
Fictional organisation, places and figures. Each step carries the label of the module it uses. A step labelled Next release, In development or Planned describes the design, not today's product; a step labelled Partly live uses only the part that runs today.
