Workflows
Asynchronous
Asynchronous/ Synchronous(Real time).

The existing workflow execution model that supports asynchronous workflows has been extended to support real-time (synchronous) workflows. Real-time workflows are not queued, as was the case with asynchronous workflows, but execute immediately on-demand or in response to a message being processed by the execution pipeline. Real-time workflows participate in the database transaction and perform similar functionality to plug-ins, yet can be created by a non-developer through the web application workflow designer. Developers can still create real-time workflow through code.

Actions
Not Available
Introduced.
Developers can extend the functionality of the standard Microsoft Dynamics CRM system by creating custom messages, with associated request/response classes, known as actions. Actions are new type of processes to expand the vocabulary available for developers to express business processes. With core verbs like Create, Update, Delete, Retrieve, Associate and Assign provided by the system, an action uses those core verbs to create more expressive verbs like Escalate, Approve, Route, and Schedule. If the definition of the action needs to change due to changing business priorities, someone who is not a developer can edit the action using the application workflow designer. Since these actions are available through web service calls, they can be used from both inside the application using a command action or from external applications.

Role-Based Security Teams (owner Teams) and Access Teams.
Teams need to collaborate with a unique set of people within their organization for each record such as an Opportunity, order or important customer contact. CRM 2011 role-based security does not give users this level of flexibility. With a record-based access team, CRM users can be added to a specific record and give them access. The access team is a new type of team that doesn’t own records, but, has access to records. Unlike with owner teams, you can create one or more access teams to work on the same records and have team members with different levels of access rights to the record.
Hierarchy Security Model Introduced.

New hierarchical visualizations and roll-ups bring real-time territory and forecasting data to your fingertips. Users now have a way to view accounts, products, and users that helps you see how info is related.  CRM 2015 can display how data is related or grouped by accounts, products, or users in hierarchical charts. The user can pick a data set to get more details and navigate to the info you're interested in.

Not Available
Available.
Setting a field value in a business rule allows the use of formulas to do calculations for applicable fields such as fields of type “Money”. Addition, subtraction, multiplication & division are the calculation operations available and can be done between fields or values. So for example: set “Total Box Value” field value to “Price per item” field multiplied by “24”. (assuming every box has 24 identical items for instance).
