Keep Projects on Track: What’s New in Deltek Vantagepoint

Keep Projects on Track:  What’s New in  Deltek  Vantagepoint 

Project-based firms need tools that help them spot risk early, make confident decisions, and reduce the  busywork that slows teams down. The latest  Vantagepoint  release  delivers on  exactly that:  an AI project advisor that calls out what matters, expanded  Ask Dela  capabilities, and  a dashboard that shows schedules across many projects. 

Let’s  take a look  at  what’s  new:

Smarter  Project  Planning  with AI-Driven PM Insights

Dela runs nightly analyses for each project and surfaces only the  three most critical  issues, focusing on misalignments between  Earned, Invoiced and Spent  metrics. Rather than presenting every discrepancy, Dela flags the  most critical project risks  and pairs each with contextual recommendations and concrete  actions  so project managers can act decisively  to keep projects on track. 

What Dela delivers 

• Nightly, prioritized project insights (Earned vs. Invoiced vs. Spent)
• Contextual guidance and recommended next steps for PMs
• A reduction in noise so teams can focus on what to fix first 

This means your team shifts from firefighting to proactive course  correction,  catching  problems before they grow.

Find  The  Contract  Details  You  Need  with  Ask Dela

Contracts often hide the one clause or number you need. After a contract document is uploaded  to a project, Ask Dela  can  surface critical information using natural-language  questions . Ask Dela  can summarize  clauses, extract key values or rates, and point you to the exact text, ultimately  cutting  hours of manual review into seconds.

How customers benefit 

• Faster answers to billing, scope, and compliance questions
• Reduced risk of missed contract obligations or billing errors
• Clearer handoffs between PMs, legal, and finance teams 

Gain More Data Insights with Expanded  Ask Dela  Reach

Ask Dela’s  scope expands beyond standard records;  it now searches user-defined hubs, fields, and grids and returns aggregated results across  projects, contacts, firms, and  employees. For example,  you can now easily  identify  “architects with 10+ years’ experience based in California.” That makes every day analytical questions  simple, and  lets you use your own firm’s  user-defined  fields in AI queries.

View Multiple Project Schedules  on  The  Dashboard

The  new multi-project  gantt  view puts schedules for multiple projects into a single, stackable dashboard so planners and PMs can quickly see timelines, dependencies, and conflicts  on one screen.

Key capabilities

• Stack and compare multiple projects side-by-side
• Expand/collapse project structure for summary or detail views
• Group by phase or task to  identify  projects in the same stage for resourcing decisions 
• Visualize dependencies and conflicts to prioritize fixes

This view is designed for program managers and resource planners who need a clear portfolio perspective.

Why this release matters to your firm

The latest Vantagepoint release  focuses on three outcomes customers tell us matter most:

1. Act earlier:  Dela surfaces the few issues that threaten delivery and recommends what to do next.
2. Find answers faster:  Ask Dela  turns  long contract reviews and cross-hub queries into quick, actionable results.
3. Coordinate work at scale:  Multi-project  gantt  charts  and expanded search make portfolio planning and staffing simpler.

Together, these enhancements reduce  busywork and help your teams spend more time on delivery and clients, which is  exactly where your firm creates value.
