🚀 Overview

This release focuses on improving the experience of first-time users following the first public feedback received after the release of ProjectEngine v1.0.0.

The scheduling engine itself remains unchanged. Instead, this version significantly improves the discoverability, readability and usability of the workbook from the very first opening.

✨ Highlights

📖 Redesigned WBS onboarding

The WBS sheet now provides a much clearer onboarding experience for new users.

New features include:

  • Required / Optional / Calculated indicators
  • Integrated Quick Start guide
  • Contextual help available for every input column
  • Clear separation between user inputs and calculated fields

Getting started with ProjectEngine is now much more intuitive.

🌍 Complete WBS localization

The entire onboarding experience now follows the selected WBS language.

This includes:

  • Quick Start guide
  • Column help comments
  • Required / Optional / Calculated indicators

Switching between French and English automatically updates the complete onboarding experience.

🎯 More generic terminology

The optional Package field has been renamed to Project to make the workbook easier to understand outside engineering and construction environments.

Backward compatibility with existing workbooks has been fully preserved.

⚡ Optimized startup lifecycle

The WBS localization lifecycle has been redesigned.

When opening a workbook that is already up to date, ProjectEngine now performs a verification only and avoids unnecessary UI rebuilds.

The workbook still automatically repairs missing or outdated onboarding elements whenever necessary.

🛡️ Improved validation

New regression harnesses now validate:

  • WBS onboarding structure
  • Localization
  • Legacy migration
  • Differential updates
  • Startup lifecycle
  • Backward compatibility

🔄 Compatibility

  • ✅ Existing workbooks remain fully compatible.
  • ✅ Legacy Package / Lot workbooks are migrated automatically.
  • ✅ No planning logic or scheduling algorithms were modified.

❤️ Thank you

This release was directly inspired by the very first community feedback received after publishing ProjectEngine.

A huge thank you to everyone who downloaded the project, tested it, reported issues and shared suggestions.

Your feedback is already helping shape the future of ProjectEngine.
