Darren Rose Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Hello would it be possible to be able to add a project, and not just project tasks, to a global board? Thanks Darren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexTumber Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 @Darren Rose seems more than reasonable. I'll ask out project management dev team to take a look. Alex 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Rose Posted June 29, 2018 Author Share Posted June 29, 2018 thanks, @alextumber Just to give some context... We would use a board for a service, and the service owner would be able to display projects, MI's, Problems, activities etc... all related to running of the service. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyonel Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Same (although not using the app yet) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexTumber Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 @Darren Rose @Lyonel I'm pleased to say, the ability to add a project to a board will be available in the next Project Manager update, due out later on this week. A single project can be added to multiple boards. As a project moves through it's lifecycle, the relevant project cards will be updated accordingly.

Lyonel Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 This will be great additional selling point for me! Thanks @alextumber 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexTumber Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 @Lyonel @Darren Rose our automated testing has picked up an issue with the new Project Manager build that requires a new build of Board Manager before the next Project Manager update can be released. I will post here with more information in due course but it looks highly likely now that the latest Project Manager update will not happen this week.

Darren Rose Posted July 6, 2018 Author Share Posted July 6, 2018 Thank you for keeping me updated @alextumber Hopefully it won't be too much of a delay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSheward_SGW Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Hi @alextumber Will project task cards be fleshed out with the new update too? KR, Tom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren Rose Posted July 16, 2018 Author Share Posted July 16, 2018 Hi @alextumber are there any updates on when this feature will be enabled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexTumber Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 @Darren Rose the update is due any day now. Still waiting on some integration work between Board and Project Manager to be completed. As soon as this is done a new update of Project Manager will be released which also contains a big new feature around categorisation (Project Tagging) :-) Alex 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Rose Posted July 16, 2018 Author Share Posted July 16, 2018 Tagging at last! Sounds a good update coming. Hopefully it will be soon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexTumber Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 @Darren Rose due to unforeseen circumstances the Project Manager update is now going to be held until next week. The use of tags in Project Manager requires a change from our core team which will not happen now until next week. Apologies for any inconvenience. Here is what tagging will look like in a project: Alex 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexTumber Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 @Darren Rose @Lyonel @TSheward_SGW The latest Project Manager update is now available in the Hornbill App Store. Alex 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSheward_SGW Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 That's awesome thank you @alextumber! Curiously I don't seem to be able to add a single project task to board manager boards anymore only project specific ones, is this expected behaviour? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexTumber Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 @TSheward_SGW yes that's working as designed. Currently project tasks can only be added to boards that are specific to that project. Can I ask what your business case would be for including project tasks on a board outside of a project? (there is no reason why we can't expand the functionality here if it what our users want) Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSheward_SGW Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Hi @alextumber OK thanks for confirming. Rationale is to do with managing analyst workloads. Being able to pull in tasks, requests, project tasks etc. into a single view helps the team keep track and give an overview of what they are working on. Similarly from a PM point of view, when managing multiple concurrent projects, being able to pull active tasks from multiple projects into a single board helps give quick oversight without the need to dive into each and every project. Let me know if you need any more info/examples. Thanks, Tom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexTumber Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Thanks for this @TSheward_SGW. I'll feed this back to our development and product teams. I can certainly see the business value to be gained from what you are trying to achieve. Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexTumber Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 @TSheward_SGW the latest Project Manager update, which is now live, has removed the restriction around adding project tasks to boards that are exclusive to that project. I hope you find this a useful addition. Alex 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
