Dependencies in Plan
For a long time, dependencies has been one of the most asked for product improvements from our users.
When we started developing the current planning tools in ProjectPlace we thought really hard about what functionality would be most useful. Since dependencies has always been a high priority request from our users, this is now implemented in the Plan. Dependencies present a good way of visualising links between activities in the project and with the connection to the Kanban boards they become a powerful part of the agile Gantt. In ProjectPlace you see the dependencies as arrows in the Plan.
In the details for each activity you can set up its dependency and see existing connections. In the example Activity 3 can not start before Activity 2 has ended. If we push forwards the end date of Activity 2 it will affect the start dates of Activities 3, 4, and 5. Duration will stay the same for all activities involved. We support finish-to-start dependencies only at this point.
Minimising the risk of accidental deletion of boards
We have changed the way you delete boards so that only hidden boards can be deleted. This is done to minimise the risk of accidental deletion of boards. To delete a board, first hide it under settings.
Information from ProjectPlace in system notifications
You will now get important information from ProjectPlace in the same feed as other project information. To make sure you don’t miss it, a small pop-up will tell you when there is information from us. This replaces the yellow banner at the top for release information and system maintenance information.
Quelle est la prochaine étape ?
Calendar feed of events – Soon you will be able to subscribe to a feed of important events from your projects straight into your calendar of choice. Important events are things like cards that are assigned to you, end dates of activities, and document reviews. You will be able to configure which types of events you want for each project. The feed will contain all future events and events that are less than a couple of weeks old.
Access rights for Plan – This is the next prioritised project for the Plan. The access rights for Plan will also affect many other parts of the system – like when you attach cards and what you see in your calendar feed. We are laying the foundations for this development over the summer and hope to release sometime in Autumn.
