What is new in Team@Work Standard Edition Version 1.6

In version 1.6 we continue our efforts to improve the Team@Work as a full-featured system for project management and teamwork.

The big new item in version 1.6 is the generation of Gantt charts. It is part of the Reports module. It is a fully automatic feature. You can graphicaly view the project status and the project "health" , you can see how the real progress matches to the workflow plan. There are many different options helping you to customize and save the Gantt charts.

Another improvement in Reports is that you can see the finished projects. Up to now when a project was finished it has  been impossible to retrieve any information for it. Now you can browse finished projects and generate and print reports for them too.

Our main goal is to develop Team@Work in such a way that it fits better and better to real life situations. The next step in this direction is the ability to disable and enable user accounts (it COULD happen that some person is not available for some time!). If an account is disabled, then the server takes care to re-direct the active tasks of the user and also to re-direct all incomming tasks in order not to block active projects.

Version 1.6 comes with a new and improved license manager. There are some bugfixes as well.

The database engine is also new. We supply a small database migration tool. The only purpose of this tool is to migrate Team@Work database from versions 1.0 and 1.5 to version 1.6. As a side effect, you can use it for moving database from one server to another as well. Database migration tool can be found in the server program group.

We want to thank to everybody who sent us mails with evaluation reports and great ideas! This will help us to make better product and to meet needs of wide range of users.

As it was mentioned in the previous versions, we are working hardly on Team@Work Professional Edition. It will have many new functions, such as workflow parametrization, workflow analysis, project's documentation, task automation and project scheduling. Also it will come with a powerful package for business analysis including Gantt charting and PERT diagrams of running and finished projects, Critical Path estimations, personal working statistics and much more!

We hope Team@Work Professional Edition will be available on the market at the end of July'2003.

Sincerely,
Team@Work development team
