Details

We are announcing the ability to track real project progress from field execution in Dynamics 365 Project Operations. This feature will reach general availability on July 31, 2026.

How does this affect me?
This feature enhances Dynamics 365 Project Operations by extending its native work breakdown structure effort tracking to include approved time captured in Field Service when the Field Service and Project Operations integration is enabled and time flows in at the project task level.

Approved Field Service time now contributes directly to task-level WBS execution metrics in Project Operations when time is captured against a project task. Task metrics such as effort completed, effort remaining, percent complete, estimate at completion, and schedule variance are calculated using approved field labor under the same native project rules used for time entered directly in Project Operations.

Because these calculations occur at the leaf task level, their impact rolls up automatically to summary tasks and the project root. Effort tracking views, reprojections, and project-level status indicators reflect real execution in the field, rather than inferred progress or manual reconciliation. Project managers can assess delivery health, forecast outcomes, and identify schedule risk using execution metrics grounded in approved field work.

This enhancement doesn't introduce new execution logic or formulas. It enables existing Project Operations WBS effort tracking behavior to include Field Service execution when time is captured against project tasks.

This feature is only available when the Field Service and Project Operations integration is enabled.

What action do I need to take?
This message is for awareness, and no action is required.
