Updates on tasks

Fred Oliveira on May 21, 2009, Comments (11)

Although Goplan 2 took quite a bit to be released, we believe in the “release early, release often” mantra, of letting people work with the application and react to real feedback from real users. This is exactly what we did with tasks. We got quite a lot of feedback from you guys on the new tasks screen since we released GP2 on friday, and yesterday most of the things you asked for in your feedback went live.

New tasks

You were missing the drag-and-drop functionality for prioritization, and the consistence of the tools (those that show up when you drag your mouse over tasks on the task list) being on the right-hand side of the screen. Yesterday we fixed both those things, and the changes are already live on the production servers as I write this post. There’s still quite a bit of changes coming to the task functionality (we’re simplifying the way you can add due dates, in particular) which will be deployed soon.

We wouldn’t be able to work this fast and iterate so quickly if it wasn’t for your feedback - you guys have been awesome. We realize not everything is perfect about the product right now, but we are trying to improve every day. Keep sending in your suggestions. Thanks!

How long do you reckon before we’ll have access to the drag and drop functionality?

It’s already live, Zee. Try dragging a task ;-)

This is by far the best Project Manager webapp I have discovered. Keep adding the features, lovin’ it!

Hi!

My company is currently looking for a new platform for project management/online desktop. Your platform looks awesome but the only thing missing is time tracking. Since I saw that this belongs to the list of upcoming improvments, I was wondering if you could give a me a timeframe regarding when that feature will be part of GoPlan…

Thanks in advance for your answer.

I second that, Time tracking is an essential addition.

LW: It has been live since we added this post. Try dragging one out. If you can’t, please tell us what browser you’re using. We tested it out with all major versions and OSs.

Remi: We’re definitely planning to add it soon, and we’ll post about that during this week.

Thanks guys!

Hi,

Any chance when you implement time tracking, you make it optional? :)

Seriously though.. Too many project management apps out there are for designer/web developer types that work with clients and such. We manage mostly internal projects so we have no need for features that cater for that crowd.

Where is this list of upcoming improvements though, that Remi spoke about?

Oh and.. I think I noticed a bug of some sort. When I tried to move sub-tasks with only one task and a bunch of sub-tasks, the entire task block moved and I couldn’t re-arrange sub-tasks. When I added another task to the category, I could move the sub-tasks in the first task as well.

Any chance we’ll be able to drag tasks between categories?

Is there any way of ordering tags in the “filter by tag” section (preferably alphabetically)??
