Is there a chance that roles will be broken out at the bottom again?
Or do we have to just accept the change / move on?

So:
- "plan of the week" on the left
- one of the three tabs on the right (Schedule, Boards, Roles)
The Roles tab shows the tasks from all Boards grouped by role.
Or should the Boards view allow to group by Role instead of List as a setting? (and therefore no need for the Roles tab)
Groupby role seems good, with the ability to prioritise which group is on top

Yes. That would solve the contention.
Adding back the easiest way to easily filter/create/organize tasks based on roles would solve the contention.

What if we introduce a way to see all your backlog grouped by role, a bit like a user suggested, you would have three links: "Schedule Boards Roles"
Like the Boards view, you would be able to see your Schedule on the same page as the Roles board.
We would however keep the Plan of the Week as it is.
Would that solve the contention?

I agree that this is the best tool on the market... so I'm hoping they fix this. Otherwise,I guess I'll have to create the solution that I want. :O
Could you comment on my proposed solution? (the additional Roles tab) I have just pinned it in this thread
I just ended my Ultimate account since it doesn't feel like you will get the roles back in a view where i can easily overview and organize my tasks. I also confused since the iphone app looks exactly the way i like in the "plan the Week" tab . I have used week plan since i started to practices 7 habits methodology three years ago. And last week i just read GTD and was in the mood of improving my practice of these methods. Since Week Plan was the best tool i found on the market i will try to monitor the development, but i am out for now.

So, you are talking about splitting the Plan of the Week and the "Role board". The role board would essentially be a special board where the lists are the roles? And they wouldn't hold the HITs, just tasks?
Yes. Because it allows to see all tasks at a glance. The color/bold allows me to identify the HITS anyway and I never lose track of all my tasks. And tasks can change in terms of importance/urgency.
But if it too much of a departure, I can settle with the HITS list categorized by role, at the bottom of the Plan of the Week.

The colours are helpful. Would it be possible to have the task names pop-up if we mouse over them?
Alternatively, we can have the tasks in expanded view like in Schedule.
Yes the task name will pop up the same way it does when you pass your mouse over a task in the timeline.
I am trying to avoid the full expanded view, I think there is a way to keep things visually simple, and yet functional.
I am considering showing the additional tasks under the timeline like this to keep things compact (potentially show them as wide as their duration.)
