New features
Go global with Hansoft localised in Japanese and mainland Chinese
- As a personal option, the user can choose to run Hansoft in Japanese or mainland Chinese. The localisation also includes tutorial help files to make it easy to get started with Hansoft.
Outsource & collaborate
- Work from low bandwidth connections with short login times thanks to new database caching.
- Collaboration on graphical work can now be made easier by embedding images directly in the comments field. These images can then be edited using the Hansoft built in mark-up tool. Images can be inserted from the clipboard, your desktop or from within the Hansoft document management tool.
- Fields that have been set up to mandatorily fill in bugs or other items are now visually indicated.
- Compare stored documents in Hansoft using your favourite diff tool.
Simplify team management
- "Show options" helps you show the information that is most relevant to you. A ScrumMaster can, for example, choose to only show the sprint of a scrum team within a larger program that he/she is responsible for, as well as a section within a very large product backlog that he/she is managing. In this way the ScrumMaster is able simplify the view of a very large program to only what he/she is responsible for managing, but still have access to everything else when needed for transparency.
- Create user view presets to simplify the default view for team members of what columns they see and view options they have enabled.
- New report criteria “logged in resource” applies the report to the person viewing it. For example, a report using the criteria “originally reported by” will in effect be “reported by me” to the person using the report.
- New report criteria “ongoing work” shows everything going on right now. If this is used together with the "group by resources" option it will in effect show a list of peoples' current “My work”.
- New report criteria, “can start now” shows all pipeline tasks that can be worked on now to contribute to the completions of pipelines or Kanban cards.
- Archive sections of the schedule helps to keep your projects tidy.
- Expand resource groups to individual resources in sprint allocation to avoid changes of past sprints when making changes to the team but still benefit from up-to-date group compositions when planning sprints.
- Choose between and edit five different custom name templates for your project to allow for customised adoptions of agile and lean.
