Gantt Chart Improvements

  • Now, in the Strategic Phasing Gantt Chart, Capability Provision area, the bars color is shown according to the domain. 
  • In the 2024x Refresh2 version, the Strategic Phasing Gantt Chart has been improved. If there are duplicate Exhibit relationships connecting the same element pairs, they will now be displayed as a single bar in the Gantt Chart.
  • You can now adjust the visible part of the Gantt chart bars. You can either shift the bars to the left based on the selected bar's start date and marking options, or keep the default view, determined by the earliest bar date and marking options.
  • Beginning with this version, you can view and resolve failing validation(s) directly in the Project Roadmap Gantt charts. Actual Project Milestones are now highlighted when at least one validation rule fails.
  • The Personnel Availability Gantt Chart has been enhanced. Now, the Actual Persons that were removed from a chart (Remove from Chart action) are no longer displayed, regardless of whether the Display Actual Persons in Different Lines option is enabled or disabled.

Diagramming

  • Several improvements have been added to the Strategic Actual Strategic Phase Taxonomy Table, including:
    • Implementation of a hierarchical view of instances in both Compact and Complete tree display modes.
    • Updates to the functionality for adding new or existing items.
    • Enhancements to the All View report.


Other Enhancements

  • UAF requirement refactoring has been enhanced to improve identifier prefix updates. Now, when you refactor UAF requirements, the identifier prefixes are also updated. For example, refactoring an Enterprise Goal to an Enterprise Objective changes the prefix from EG to EO, and vice versa.
  • The process for creating elements in the UAF predefined map has been enhanced. When the scope is set in the relation map, the owner of the created elements will now be the same as the diagram owner.
  • The owning package selection in Gantt Charts, Forecast Tables, and Strategic Drivers Table wizards has been improved. You can now filter to display only packages or both types and packages to be selected as owners.
  • The description area for matrices now displays the information in the same way as the description areas of the tables and maps. Lear more >>>
