Hi There! OrangeScrum is back with a slew of new important features to enable efficient task management. This time the focus is to make task management robust and further enable agile and scrum project management.
Task Linking and New Task Types have been launched to enable greater sync across tasks and apt categorization so that your project plans do not go off track.
Let us see the “How to” now 🙂
Now with OrangeScrum, you can link any two tasks in a project to show their relationship. Though we do have Gantt Chart to create the dependencies but it is slightly different from Gantt Chart’s task linking. It is nothing but a task reference only. One task can have linking with multiple tasks of the project.
You can create task linking in two ways.
Before you link a task to another, you should know the following:
Relates To: It has three categories. It defines the type of linking.
Linking Task: These are the tasks linked to the main (parent) task. You can see them on your task detail page.
To create a task link –
To add task linking on the Edit Task page;
Similarly, on the task detail page, click on the “+” icon on the Linking Tasks sections and define your linking tasks with respect to the original or parent task.
To remove a link, please navigate to the task detail page and click on Remove Link to delete the linking of a task with another task as shown in the image.
Linking Tasks in Brief:
In a bid to enhance our UI, we have launched new icons for our task types. This small changes made a huge difference to our users. These new task type icons can be viewed and used by all users in the project. Also when you add a new custom task type, a default icon is provided for uniformity across the tool.
The below image shows a glance of our new icons used for the Task Types.
These updates will definitely enhance your project management experience and save lots of time. We continue to strive to make your work as fun as possible!
See you next month with added features, enhancements and a further robust OrangeScrum. In the meanwhile, keep pouring your suggestions & feedback.
