Upcoming Release
This release brings significant enhancements to process boards and workflows, introducing greater flexibility in managing 'Completed' states and automating decision workflows for improved project management and governance.
New - Enhanced Flexibility with Multiple 'Completed' States in Process Boards
In many workflow or Kanban boards, columns are arranged from left to right to reflect the progression of tasks from start to finish, with the rightmost column typically indicating the 'Completed' or 'Done' state. This final column marks the point where tasks are fully closed, requiring no further action.
However, some workflows require multiple 'Completed' states, where different types of tasks might reach different final stages. To address this, our latest release allows board owners to set multiple columns as 'Completed'. This feature ensures that any task moved to these columns is marked as done, effectively removing it from the assignees' action dashboards.
Each 'Completed' column is marked by a check badge icon, indicating that it represents a final, fully closed state for tasks. Once tasks are moved to these columns, they can be archived directly by selecting the archive icon in the column header, allowing for efficient management and removal of completed tasks from active workflows.
New - Automated Decision Workflows
This release shows the introduction of Automated Decision Workflows within process boards to enhance project management efficiency and support PMOs in maintaining rigorous governance and oversight. This new functionality allows users to configure specific columns so that when a card is moved into these columns, a decision is automatically created and assigned to the column owners.
Key Benefits:
- Automated Decision Triggers: When a card is moved to a particular column, a decision is automatically created and assigned to the column owners. This is particularly important in processes such as project intake or stage gate reviews, where approvals are required to move forward. This feature ensures that decisions are automatically initiated when needed. This helps avoid delays, as decisions are promptly assigned to the relevant owners without requiring manual intervention, keeping projects progressing smoothly through each stage.
- Tracking and Auditing: Automated decisions are linked directly to the associated task and appear in the owners' action dashboards, providing a clear and auditable trail. This enhances accountability and ensures that all decisions are documented and easily accessible for review.
- Improved Workflow Management: By integrating automated decision triggers directly into process boards, project managers and PMOs can ensure that critical decision points within workflows are consistently addressed.
