Features of the Projects AppComplex Projects Require Excellent Planning

Every project has a backlog. This is a great place to collect ideas, requirements and tasks that have not been assigned to specific sprints yet. The backlog is ideal for agile teams.

What’s great: Whether your backlog idea grows or remains only a small side task, you can flexibly turn this backlog entry into a project, sprint or task. Items can be moved directly from a project backlog to the superseding area backlog. The history and discussions are fully preserved when doing so.

Tasks are the smallest unit in the Projects App. A task is assigned to a handler, and a task is assigned to at least one sprint.

Good to know: One task can be assigned to more then one sprint. This is ideal for projects that extend across multiple departments.

You can also copy tasks and reuse these for similar tasks.

You can filter by areas, projects or tasks.

The integrated search function enables you to look for elements by entering title or ID number. Search results are displayed directly in the board view, so you can immediately see the results within their context.

Get quick access to all content via your dashboard. The dashboard shows bookmarked favorites (i.e. pinned areas, projects, sprints or colleagues) plus a listing of all tasks.

By clicking on a favorite - a project / sprint / task pinned as favorite to your dashboard - the respective filter is set automatically.

Configure your dashboard to match your unique working style. You decide which lists to display, whether they start open or closed, and where they appear. Simply arrange all elements using intuitive drag-and-drop.

Simply add important colleagues, areas, projects, subprojects, tasks or backlog items to your favorites. Projects groups your favorites into clear lists on your dashboard so you can find frequent content instantly. For tasks, a color code displays the current status, while backlog items show their priority. The visible path also indicates exactly which area or project an entry belongs to.

Capture spontaneous ideas, reminders or quick notes directly on your dashboard. These entries are private and visible only to you. Easily convert a note into a project, subproject, task or backlog item. This process quickly turns initial thoughts into concrete parts of your project planning.

The progress of projects and sprints is displayed graphically in form of a colored bar. Next to the colored bar, the progress is also indicated as a percentage.

You can assign story points for tasks for an agile estimate. The board view shows how many story points a planned for a sprint, and how many have already been completed. 

This provides a good estimate for progress and workload.

Enter due dates for tasks. These will be sorted automatically according to their urgency within the board view.

If a planned task reaches its due date, the status will switch to "current" - and the handler will receive a notification. 

You can add attributes to tasks, sprints and projects to structure these based on topics. Attributes can be used as filters, and they are inherited by subsequent levels.

A project has successfully been completed and you would like to use this structure for future projects. Existing sprints can be saved as templates for future projects.

Add descriptions, task details and interactive checkboxes to your templates. Processes are easily documented, and projects can be completed systematically, also within larger teams.

In the Connect App, you will automatically receive a notification in your personal feed, if:

• a task has been assigned to you
• one of your tasks has reached the deadline
• someone mentions you
• someone has replied to one of your comments

You can also receive an e-mail - even if the app is closed.

Use hashtags for projects and sprints - these will  be included in all subsequent entries automatically. 

Follow the hashtags of projects and sprints to always be up to date on topics relevant to you.

In the Projects App, all changes are documented automatically, for example if the status changes, if there are any adjustment, or if responsibilities are transferred to someone else. You can further document decisions, progress reports and agreements directly where they belong thematically.

Helpful: Retrieve information quickly, transparently document to dos, and manage replacements, certifications, legal matters etc. conveniently via Projects.

Every user automatically receives a private area. This area is only visible to him / her. It is ideal for own tasks, private to dos and preparations.

The Projects App runs either in the cloud or on premises, in your own infrastructure - no cloud, no data leaks. No matter which option you choose: Our solution is always secure and 100% in compliance with GDPR!
