Dynamics 365 Project Operations

Connect the Project Promise to Delivery and Commercial Results⁠.

Bring project sales, planning, resourcing and commercial tracking into one process. We implement Project Operations around how you estimate work, deliver it and turn approved effort into the right billing outcome.

Keep Delivery and Commercial Work on the Same Project Record.

The deployment model determines the finance capabilities. We agree that model before connecting the project lifecycle.

Project Sales and Estimates

Connect opportunities, project quotes and estimates to the proposed scope of work.

Project Plans

Build a task structure and schedule that supports delivery management.

Resource Management

Define resource needs and coordinate project bookings with roles, skills and availability.

Time and Expense

Capture time and expenses, then route records through the agreed approval process.

Contracts and Billing

Configure contract lines and the supported billing approach for the selected deployment model.

Project Performance

Review effort, cost and commercial information against the planned work and recorded actuals.

Put AI to Work in Clearly Defined Tasks.

Choose a useful role for AI, then define the information, access and review needed for that role.

Draft the Task Plan

Generate a starting task plan from the project description. The project manager adds and checks dependencies, assignees and delivery detail.

Review Project Risks

Use recorded project context and actuals to propose risks and mitigations. The project manager decides which risks and actions to adopt.

Prepare Status Reports

Generate a draft status narrative from project data and refine it before sharing. Risk and status generation require the relevant actuals to be recorded.

Connect the Product to Modern Business Experiences.

Combine the agreed product configuration with the systems and development that make the complete experience work.

Delivery Knowledge

An AI Project Knowledge Assistant

Help the team find approved project documents and decisions without granting access to unrelated client information.

Measures to Agree

Approval Time

Elapsed time from complete proposal to approved change.

Signature Completion

Changes with the required validated signatures.

Unapproved Work

Effort recorded before the required approval.

Change Traceability

Start with One Useful Process. Build from an Agreed Foundation.

Agree the business outcome, prepare the foundation and validate the complete experience before expanding it.

Agree the Outcome

Choose the first process, its owner, completion criteria and baseline measures.

Prepare the Foundation

Deployment model, resource data, approval ownership, project actuals and client document access determine the scope.

Build and Connect

Configure or develop the agreed experience, permissions and system handovers.

Test and Launch

Check realistic data, permissions, exceptions and confirmed outcomes. Prepare the team for a controlled launch.

Measure and Improve

Review source-confirmed results, operational issues and adoption before extending the next use case.

Understand the Offering. Plan the Right Scope.

The starting point depends on the process and the systems you already use.

Does Project Operations always include the same finance setup?

No. Resource/non-stocked and stocked/production-based deployment approaches differ. We select the model around your project accounting, ERP and operational requirements before defining the implementation.

Which AI capabilities should be included first?

Start with a specific task and the evidence needed to evaluate it. We check current feature status, environment prerequisites, data quality, permissions and cost. Preview capabilities are assessed separately from the agreed production scope.

Are these use cases included as standard?

The examples describe configured or custom solutions. The feature cards explain the product or delivery foundation; each use case and process identifies the connections, development and related services it needs.

What do we need to define before starting?

Deployment model, resource data, approval ownership, project actuals and client document access determine the scope. We also agree ownership, acceptance criteria, operating responsibility and the first measurable outcome.
