I understand that you have to make minor tweaks here and there , but it seems in the past 3 months you have made 2 major program changes with boards and roles. 

As soon as I get the system working one way you change it - then I have to adopt another way of using the program and you change it again. What happens if you have a few complaints with the way it is now, do you plan on changing it again?

If you keep making changes and we have to keep adjusting how we use the program, I am sure you will lose your customer base. Maybe you feel you are improving the program, but choose a style and keep it that way....PLEASE

3 Month ago we already had a discussion regarding the role tab.

At that time I wrote:

"Two more aspects regarding the role funktionality:

- when you add a HIT-item with reference to a role in the Plan-Of-The-Week section it should be visible under the correspondent role-tab. The role section has the name "tasks by role", so it should work.

- it is not possible to bring back a scheduled task with role-assignment in the role area by "unscheduling", which is not logical. To keep scheduled task in the role-tab as in my previous post described would automatically heal this inconsequent behaviour."

and some other users had the same point of view.

Backlog by roles can be helpful but I also would appreciate to have the role tab again, to see all the items (planned AND unplanned) regarding a role.

Thank you very much for considering this point of view.

I agree with this. I was really disappointed to see that I can no longer have Roles and a list of the tasks I have assigned to each day visible on the same screen. The reasons I liked this program was that I could so easily drag things from roles to the days just above them, and actually see what I was doing instead of having these tasks disappear like they do with the 'timeline' thing that is now there when you go to Backlog By Roles. Since I can't have everything laid out for me in one simple place anymore, I'm now searching for another program which will allow me to do so, which is a shame.

Aymeric, 


I appreciate you responding, but as users you get used to using the program one way. Then, when you change the process we have to adapt. I was really frustrated when you made the big change (I think it was Oct or Nov last year) so I had to totally change how I was using the program.

Then when I came in this week the Roles have become BACKLOG BY ROLES removed and placed under boards - it changes how you use or drag and drop the tasks onto the schedule (and I wasn't using that as a backlog).


Users are using the program because it works for them.

How many new customers did you GAIN because you moved Roles under Boards in the menu? How many might you lose if you keep making changes?

I appreciate you wanting to have the best program out there, but please, choose a layout and stick with it. If you want to add things, great, just stop redesigning the layout.

Just my 2 cents.

Hi Bob,

What is the second major change we did? Related to boards and roles, we simply unified the navigation under one Boards menu I believe?

We are looking at improving the user experience and it requires us to make changes to the user interface. 


I am sorry that you are finding it frustrating, and I totally understand. The product is still in its infancy in terms of traction, so we need to find ways to make the user experience smoother so that more people adopt the app.
