Delivering Project Excellence with Certinia PS Cloud Winter ’26

Unlocking Project Excellence with Winter’26 

Project managers are being asked to deliver faster while maintaining absolute confidence in their plans. But manual scheduling, disconnected tools, and outdated timelines make that harder than it needs to be. 

Modern Gantt enhancements are changing how project managers work — combining automation, real-time accuracy, and intuitive design to reduce effort without sacrificing control. From dynamic task hierarchies to automated timeline adjustments, these capabilities are redefining what efficient, data-driven project planning looks like. 

👉 Here’s how the Winter ’26 PS Cloud Release is driving efficiency, accuracy, and predictability at scale. 

Building Smarter Project Plans with Automation, Accuracy, and Control 

Modern project management demands more than task tracking. It requires efficiency at scale, real-time accuracy, and governance built into every workflow. Today’s enhancements to Project Gantt management are designed to align directly with key strategic themes that drive operational excellence. 

Efficiency & Automation: Faster Planning with Less Manual Effort 

Project Managers can now structure complex work breakdown structures directly in the Gantt using task hierarchy and drag-and-drop reordering. This eliminates manual resequencing and simplifies planning adjustments. 

Inline task field editing further enhances productivity by allowing updates to lookups, picklists, checkboxes, and duration fields directly within the Gantt view. Fewer clicks. Fewer screens. Faster execution. 

Automatic Project End Date synchronisation eliminates the need for manual timeline adjustments, ensuring that schedules always reflect real task completion dates. 

Business Impact: Reduced bottlenecks, faster schedule updates, and shorter planning cycles. 

Accuracy & Data Integrity: Built-In Safeguards for Reliable Plans 

Undo and Redo functionality, combined with Unsaved Changes notifications, protect project data from accidental errors. Milestone synchronisation ensures that deliverables stay aligned with actual task progress. 

Together, these controls reduce rework, strengthen governance, and increase trust in reporting. 

Business Impact: Fewer disputes, stronger compliance, and more reliable executive decision-making. 

Forecasting & Predictability: Timelines You Can Trust 

With automatic end-date adjustments and milestone synchronisation, forecasts are always aligned with real execution. Resource Allocation Modes provide accurate workload calculations directly in Gantt. 

Business Impact: Improved deadline adherence, proactive planning, and reduced overruns. 

Centralisation: One Workspace for Planning and Staffing 

By embedding resource allocation and editing directly within the Gantt, teams operate from a single source of truth — eliminating spreadsheet reliance and disconnected workflows. 

Business Impact: Reduced silos, standardised processes, and operational alignment. 

User Experience: Higher Adoption, Faster Results 

Drag-and-drop scheduling, inline editing, and a unified export menu make project management intuitive and efficient. 

Business Impact: Reduced training time, faster onboarding, and increased productivity. 

Financial Control & Scalability 

More accurate scheduling and aligned milestones improve cost tracking and revenue forecasting. These enhancements scale with growing project portfolios, supporting enterprise-level demand. 

Conclusion: Unlocking Project Excellence with Winter ’26 

The Winter ’26 release of Certinia PS Cloud empowers project managers to plan, execute, and scale with confidence. By combining automation, centralised workflows, and built-in data integrity, teams can reduce manual effort, improve accuracy, and make smarter decisions — all from a single source of truth. 

From faster planning cycles and reliable forecasts to improved financial control and enterprise-level scalability, Winter ’26 provides the tools organisations need to transform project execution into a competitive advantage. 

With these enhancements, project managers no longer have to choose between speed and control — they can have both, delivering projects smarter, faster, and with complete confidence.
