Agile Iteration Grid View

Why

Improve navigation of Agile projects through a new Data grid View

How   

•A new view, ‘Datagrid View’, is now available for Agile Projects in the Iterations tab.

•The ‘Datagrid View’ displays the:

•Project backlog with its work context

•Project Iterations with their story tasks

•By default the ‘Tile View’ is displayed

•You can toggle between the ‘Tile View’ and  the ‘Datagrid View’ using the new ‘Switch View’ menu.

 

New ‘Plan Explorer’ Application

Why

Stay informed on key activities, by enabling all business users to visualize project’s schedule

How   

•A new widget, ‘Plan Explorer’, is introduced, allowing users to view project’s schedule without having a Project Planner license.

•The ‘Plan Explorer’ widget is not accessible through the Compass.

•It can be launched for selected project using the ‘Open With’ menu.

 

 

Rename Standalone and Simple Tasks in ‘Create New Task’ Dialog  

Why

Improve clarity when creating a new task in ‘Collaborative Tasks’ application

How   

We renamed the Tasks types in the ‘Create New Task’ dialog in ‘Collaborative Tasks’ application:

•Standalone Task is now named ‘Project Planning Task’

•Simple Task is now named ‘Project Management Task’

 

 

 

User Interface Improvements

Why

Enhance productivity with improved user experience

How   

•Repeat checkbox is available when creating new project items in Schedule view to keep dialog open after creation.

•The bar of completed projects is now displayed in grey.


 

•When changing the project state to Complete, users are notified in case of incomplete project items.

•You can create a new project based on a template directly from the Template Information Panel

•When navigating from one project to another by selecting ‘Open’ or ‘Set as Root’, the project is open in the same tab instead of the Summary Tab.

 

Support Multiple Values for ‘Contributes to’ field

Why

Improve productivity with multiple values as ‘Contributes to’ of a project.

How   

•You can now have multiple items, except projects and project templates, as ‘Contributes to’ of a selected project.

 

•In case you try to add a Project as ‘Contributes to’ to a project, which already has some objects set as ‘Contributes to’, 
a popup dialog will open to:

•notify you that ‘Contributes to’ field does not support Projects and other objects simultaneously

•ask you if you want to replace all objects with the project or not.
