We're simplifying ways to track the progress of plans. Read on to see the changes to Status and logging delays, and what it will mean for you.
Freedom to move tasks between Done, Promised & Planned individually, or in bulk, at anytime.
Choose to apply the same delay to the path of a promised task.
Single-step process to log delays & improvements [now called Progress Updates], including integrated comments and documents, and custom days of impact.
Reorder-able Task Panel with a new, collapsable Activity Feed that can be filtered to only Progress & Date changes or Comments.
Plus, Thumbs Up & Thumbs Down allow quick logging of performance from the Task Panel.
Admins, Owners & Assignees can always edit Task Status
→ New Permission Controls - Projects decide who (Admins, Owners & Assignees) can update or regress Task Status
Tasks can only be set to Completed on a manual, individual basis
Tasks can only be set to Promised if included in the Promised Period when Publishing
Tasks can only be returned to Planned by clearing all Promised Tasks
→ Tasks can be set to Planned, Promised or Done individually or in bulk, while on the Gantt
Promised Tasks in the past become Assume Completed
→ Assume Completed is replaced with Done
Promised Tasks will not automatically schedule and each linked task needs to be delayed manually
→ Delaying a Promised Task now gives the option to delay the promised path. Delays can be automatically applied to all linked Promised Tasks
Status Events (delays) require a guided, 4-step process to be completed
→ Status Events are replaced by Progress Updates
→ Progress Updates are single-step, and allow comments & attachments to be integrated, as well as custom days of impact
Net Delay Number adjusts automatically when a Task is brought forward or shortened
→ Tasks will keep all Progress Update history, and delays & improvements will not be reset or adjusted when Task Dates are modified
Deleting a delay automatically changes Task Dates
→ Progress Updates can be deleted without forcing a date change
Delays are alway visible on the Gantt
→ Show Progress overlay can be toggled On or Off to hide or reveal progress update information on the Gantt
Add Status button is used to record individual delays and improvements
→ Add Status is replaced with Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down to trigger a Progress Update
Some edits (related tasks, resources) cannot be made in the Task Panel
→ All fields are editable in the new Task Panel
The full Activity Log is not accessible in the Task Panel
Activity Log contains one long list of basic Task Events
→ Activity Log is replaced with the new Activity Feed
→ Activity Feed is detailed, interactive, filterable & collapsable
Any Tasks previously recorded as Completed will be automatically migrated to Done
Any Tasks with the previous Status of In Progress will be migrated to Planned
Planned & Promised Tasks will keep the same Status
The ability to edit Task Status will default to Admins & Owners & Assignees. Task Status Regression will be set to Off, so only Admins can regress Status.
This can be modified by an Admin in Project Settings
Any previously recorded Status Events will be migrated to Progress Updates, which can be found in the Activity Feed.
