Release Planner Retirement: D365, Power Platform, and Dataverse Move to AI at Work

🚨 The Signal: Microsoft is consolidating Dynamics 365 and Power Platform roadmap information into the 'AI at Work' roadmap, retiring the Release Planner by November 2026. This centralizes future capabilities, including AI features, for business applications and productivity.

The Impact

Security teams and administrators need to adapt their monitoring of new features, particularly AI-driven ones, to assess potential security implications and maintain a secure posture.

• Security teams: Must adjust processes for monitoring new features, especially AI, for security risks.
• Administrators: Need to learn the new roadmap interface to track changes relevant to their environment.
• Compliance officers: May need to update internal review procedures for new capabilities to ensure ongoing ISM alignment.

The Action

1. Familiarize security and admin teams with the new AI at Work roadmap portal.
2. Review internal processes for tracking and assessing new Microsoft 365 features for security and compliance implications.
3. Develop a plan to integrate continuous roadmap disclosure into existing change management and risk assessment frameworks.
