BizDock websiteBizDock R8.0 Release Note
Partner data syndication
Imagine that you have partners / customers and you want to exchange with them project information in a secured and standard way. This is now possible with BizDock Data Syndication:
- Invite your partner to use BizDock: they get their own BizDock instance for free during 3 months
- Set up an agreement with him to define which data could be exchanged and for how long
- Last, on a project basis, configure effectively which data of your project (plannin package, status report…) will be pushed securely to your partner.
Like this, no more planning misalignment or Excel exchange via e-mail: everything is in one place, in BizDock, and always up-to-date. More information
Top menu re-design
We re-design BizDock main menu to make it even more accessible and easier to use. All the links you need are now directly visible.
Release KPI "Progress"
A new KPI has been added to the Release, showing what is the remaining effort to be done and what effort was already produced. You can even visualise a burndown chart for the Release, bringing a complementary view to the one of the Portfolio Entry
Redmine plugin improvement
The Redmine plugin has been enhanced to provide even more configuration capability:
- BizDock custom attributes can now be used in the filters
- The remaining effort (mapped to a Redmine custom field) and the effort spent (mapped to Redmine logged time) can now be retrieved and consolidated at the requirement level.
