Today, we are announcing the transition to Planner, which aims to provide a unified work management experience through a modern work stack integrating Project for the web, To Do, and Planner. In Augu...
Will there be feature parity between the new Portfolios roadmap and the original Project Roadmap by the August 1st sunset date? This new version appears to allow adding only one row per plan/data source, while the previous version allowed multiple (which was critical for sub-project slicing). It may seem like a small thing, but it essentially makes this new version in its current state unusable for my organization... and it makes me wonder why we're paying a premium if standard features like this (and others flagged in the comments on this article) are seemingly removed at random.
Thank you, Laura - I actually came to your post after reading that article and attempting to rebuild my prior roadmaps in Portfolio. Unfortunately, the feature that I need (that doesn't seem to be discussed in the article or supported in the new version) is essentially having a single plan show up more than once in the roadmap (and displaying different tasks/milestones in each time it shows up). For example, if I have Plan X with tasks A, B, and C that have several levels of nesting and hundreds of subtasks assigned to them each, I want to be able to visualize A, B, and C on separate rows in Roadmap.
The reason I want separate rows instead of just one row is twofold: One is that it allows for me to display the roadmap integrated correctly with the other plans that I imported based on how those elements interact with each other (I.e., show Plan X task grouping A, then Plan Y task grouping G, then plan X task grouping B). The second (and perhaps more important for day-to-day use) is that the deadlines I want to show between these subprojects A/B/C often overlap... and both the former and new versions of roadmap both don't seem to be able to display that in a readable format when grouped on one row...
