What shipped
Resources Planner is live on the Microsoft Marketplace with the full Essentials, Standard, and Enterprise feature surface, plus tier enforcement on every paid feature. The headlines:
The board
Loads DemandItems and CapacitySlots from a SharePoint list and renders the quarterly grid with traffic-light cells.
New demand items
Slide-out form with every field; save persists to the list and refreshes the board.
Manage capacity
Editable list of CapacitySlots. Add, edit inline, delete with confirmation. Board colours update as you go.
Edit and delete demand
Click a demand item in a cell to open it for editing. Delete is available via the overflow menu with a confirmation.
Filter the board
Department dropdown, period range, text search. AND logic across all three controls.
Auto-provisioning
The web part detects missing lists on first install and creates them with the full schema against a fresh site.
Change-history audit log
A structured per-item audit timeline that reads the SharePoint version history and presents the changes alongside the current state.
Cross-site list selection (Enterprise)
Programme offices can point the board at lists hosted on other sites in the tenant, aggregating demand and capacity across multiple SharePoint sites.
Next on the build queue
Roughly in the order customers ask for them. Public so you can see what is already in flight.
Integration depth
The current release supports a basic reference from a demand item back to a Decision Planner record. Next up: the round-trip. Automatic demand-impact prompts when a decision is recorded against high-impact categories, and decision prompts when a capacity gap is flagged.
Analytics
Demand-by-category breakdowns, capacity utilisation trend, plan churn rate (how often demand items move between quarters), average time from Submitted to Approved.
AI-assisted demand forecasting
Drafts likely future demand from historical patterns in the same list, for human review before commit. Optional and tier-gated.
