Many rumors were circulated today about PerformancePoint changing direction. These existed of the following:
- PPS Monitoring & Analytics would be integrated into the next release of Sharepoint.
- PerformancePoint (PPS) Planning would be discontinuted, although supported through a service pack 3 released in 2009.

Those are the only details I have. Hopefully, they are not completely true, as it would be unfortunate to have the planning component discontinued.
Please feel free to update or add information as to the future direction of the PPS Planning application.
