Targetprocess 3.0.5 Released: v.3 Timelines (beta), Process Admins and v.3 Board Co-Owners

All the OnDemand customers are already using this latest 3.0.5 version. OnSite customers will be able to download it later this week.

v.3 Timelines in beta — that's the flagship novelty of this release. It also includes a couple other smaller features, some improvements and bug fixes. Note that a feature, fix or improvement marked with the "v.3" prefix is available in Targetprocess 3 only.

v.3 Timelines

Visualizing work in a timeline comes handy when one wants to get a high-level overview of the work and progress over time. In the beta version of  Targetprocess 3 Timelines, one can visualize epics, user stories, tasks, bugs the way they currently are. Same for projects, releases and iterations. Editing capabilities will be available in the future releases. That's how a timeline looks in Targetprocess 3:

Process Admins

This feature is supposed to reduce the workload for Targetprocess Admins. Any Targetprocess user can be made a Process Admin by the Targetprocess Admin. A Process Admin can change the process(-es) they're assigned to, and view settings in the other processes. Process Admins can also clone processes and tweak them as needed.

v.3 Board Co-Owners

Now a board can have several co-owners, or "many owners". Any board co-owner has the same privileges as the original board owner. Co-owners can change the board settings, and add/remove other co-owners.The only restriction is: a board owner can't remove herself or the very last owner.Targetprocess admins can also add/remove the board co-owners.

v.3 The copy-to-project action in the new views and in the context menu

This good old Targetprocess v.2 action is now available in Targetprocess v.3:
