We will be releasing the feature to our early adopter program shortly. That is a brief overview of the new Project Roadmap feature. A user can also choose to share the roadmap with an existing Modern Group that they might be working with. Once a roadmap is shared a Modern Group is created to back the Roadmap and provide additional collaborative capabilities. Roadmaps are shared using Office Modern Groups. These dates show up at the top of the roadmap and provide a visualization of important dates that span across projects – like a launch date or big marketing event.įinally, after the Roadmap has been completed, the author will want to share the roadmap.
In addition to including tasks from back end systems, users may also add Key Dates to the Roadmap. The Roadmap maintains a link to the original task so users can always click through to the ‘system of record’. If a task is marked as at risk, a user might need to drill through to the backing task in the original system. This is independent of the backend project and can be managed by the roadmap owner for reporting.Īfter that, its merely a matter of choosing what tasks to show on the roadmap. Once the tasks are on the Roadmap, they can be assigned a status by the Roadmap manager. Microsoft Flow manages all the credentials in a compliant way. We use the Microsoft Flow connector infrastructure for our project types, so it is a very powerful and flexible connection system.Īfter choosing a project type, the user chooses a project and signs into that project. Over time we will add different project types as we better understand what customer’s needs. In our initial release, we will support Project Online projects and Azure Boards projects. After creating a row, pick a project type first. Merely add rows, connect them to projects and then choose what tasks, milestones, features or initiatives you want to bubble up to the Roadmap. Once the Roadmap is completed, it provides a visual and interactive way to view project status across a program or portfolio.īuilding out a Roadmap is a fairly simple process. Performance has been an important tenet of the Roadmap feature They are easily created from the Project Home page and appear nearly instantly. Roadmaps are available directly on the new Project Home page that we released into production this Summer. Roadmap is a visually exciting way to combine information from multiple Waterfall and Agile projects and share it with co-workers. Microsoft Planner is a project management application with Office 365. To Do can create lists that include due dates, reminders, time slots, and can be shared with other users to collaborate and assign tasks. On September 24 th at Microsoft Ignite, we announced a new feature for Microsoft Project called Roadmap. Microsoft To Do is an online to do list that can be accessed from any device.
