Exciting News! We’re delighted to announce the release of TeamBoard ProScheduler v1.5.3-AC for Jira Cloud! 🎉 🚀

Summary

This release brings advanced features designed to enhance planning efficiency, including Generic Resources, a revamped Planning Details panel, the ability to import Jira groups into projects and programs, and more!

New Features

1. Generic Resources

Introduced generic resource support for enhanced planning flexibility.

These resources can represent non-physical entities (e.g., virtual resources) or physical assets (e.g., equipment), enabling project managers to streamline workflow and plan tasks seamlessly within teams.

Here’s how Generic Resources can help optimize your team’s workflow:

Virtual resources can serve as placeholders for tasks during the early stages of a project until actual team members are identified.
When a team member becomes unavailable, their tasks can be temporarily reassigned to a virtual resource.
Tracking the booked time of physical assets utilized by the team. (e.g., equipment, external systems).

General Panel: Easily view and edit task details, summaries, colors, and more.
Plan Detail Panel: Adjust plans, set up recurring tasks, convert tasks into milestones, and add new plans.
Note Panel: Review notes and comment directly on tasks to boost team communication.
History Panel: Keep track of task history with a clear record of all changes.

Import Jira Group to Project or Program Resource
