Supercharge estimation and collaboration with comments, filters, task owners, deep links and much more!
Overview
This release is all about enhancing collaborative estimation:
- Task comments for tracking internal notes and activity 💬
- Task and feature filters for finding tasks by scope, assignee, priority or risk 👀
- Task owners for assigning tasks to specific members 👤
- Task scope toggle for manually scoping/descoping individual tasks 🚫
- Task and feature links for deep-linking to specific tasks, features or comments 🔗
We’ve also made some improvements to scoping to support tasks and features with no estimates or pricing. 👌
