Design Concept: Customize Cards on Boards

We are finalising cards customization on boards.

On the left you see various zoom levels, so it will be possible to customize cards for all zoom levels. In the center you see card template and a list of all available properties on the right. 

You can quickly search for properties and use drag and drop to customize card. Rearrange properties easily:

Most sizes are fixed, so you can't put more than several properties on small sizes.

However, large sizes are unlimited, so you can put as many properties as you want (but card will be quite large in this case).

Your feedback is welcome!

New Navigation for Boards and Reports

We are working on Custom Graphical Reports concept now and are thinking about navigation changes. The main idea is to allow reports creation very similar to boards creation.

So left menu will break down to 2 sections: Boards and Reports. If you click on a section title, it will open Overview page with all Boards (or Reports) thumbnails. These thumbnails will be actually real snapshots (they can be captured every 30 minutes for example). So Overview will show many boards/reports with almost live content.

In the future we are going to add Dashboards, so there will be 3 sections: Boards, Reports, Dashboards.  

What do you think about this idea?

What's new in v.2.23.15: WIP Limits, Unlimited Assignments, Tags Improvements

Assign as many users as you want to an entity

Now you can assign many developers, many testers, etc. There are no restrictions.

On a board you will see several first asignments:

WIP Limits

WIP Limits are per board. It means each board have its own limits. When you create a board with State lane, you will find Limits tab in Settings area.

When you set limits and there are too many cards in this state, column will be highlighted.

Card Sorting

Now you can sort cards on board:

Clever Past and Future Filter

Limit how many past of future releases or iteration you want to see. For example, if you want to see just 

two future iterations, type a filter

?Iteration is Future(2)

If you want to see 3 past releases:

?Release is Past(3)

Fast Editing of Team and Project Relations

On User Story, Bug, Feature and other views you can quickly set or change Project or Team.

Process Control Chart

This chart shows Cycle or Lead Time distribution. You see when User Stories and Bugs were completed and how long it took to complete them.

Click on entity to open its view.

Tags Autocompletion and Tags Cloud

It was hard to know what tags are there and whats are missing. Now you will see list of matched tags in   add tag field.

Also you can click Tags Cloud and see all popular tags.

Better Rows Titles Formatting for Features and Stories

If you have Features or User Stories in rows, there is more information visible: State, full Name, Project, Effort, Assigned People.

Sparklines on Project View and Team View

When you have many teams working on a project, it is interesting what teams are active and what are not. Project View shows teams activity nicely.

More great things are coming :)

Team/Project Boards

Here is a solution for Team/Project level board access. Access tab is added where Board Owner ca specify visibility. If he selected some Teams, then only people from selected Teams will see the board in left menu.

When you select Private or Public - Teams and Project selection is disabled.

Board Templates

Next week we are starting Boards Templates implementation. When a person clicks Add Board, he will see a list of available templates.

When a person selects a template, board is created. Then templates popup shrinkes and a person can try other templates and see result immediately.

It will be possible to save current board as a template, thus forming templates library.

What's new in targetprocess3 (build 2.23.14)

Sorting in axes

Capability of custom sorting is added.
Now you can change sorting order (ascending/descending) or even change the token of arranging the values if you need. For example, show the persons ordered by e-mails or roles instead of default ordering by Last Name.

Once the order changed it's remembered and next time you'll see the data on that board in the order you've set last time

Sparklines on Project & Team cards

For the present sparklines work for Project and Team displayed as cards of 5th and 6th zoom levels.

Sparklines provide a progress overview over the last 16 weeks. The numbers shown are: a maximum of user stories (blue)/bugs (red)  done/added at any given week out of the last 16.

Full counts in rows and columns

Now the overall number of entities in a whole row or a column appears on the right of a header.

The tooltip shows also the exact quantity of each entity type in the line: user stories, bugs, teams, users etc.

Quick Add Improvements

New capability for quick add: general quick add at the top.
Now new board could be added via new button 'Add Board' at the bottom of the boards list

Concerning the quick add it's possible now to add any entity if you double-click within the required cell. After entity is added you'll see the message at the top. That should help to find it in a flash, open it in pop-up if you want to update or add more details at the same moment.

Team / Project selector is slightly improved and has new options

• Process selection for the new projects

• Change the context with one click. Select a team and a context will change like a flash for that team and all available projects. The same option works for project - select the project and context will be updated for that project and all the team 
• Open team (or project) in a pop-up viewer
