Answer Questions in PMRobot Right from your Inbox

We know it's important not to create friction between you, your team members and your clients. Our aim is to build an agile project management tool that gets out of your way instead of adding overhead.

One of PMRobot's most popular features is Question Asking in a ticket.  It makes it easy to get the answers you need to move forward, and it puts them right where you need them.  Until now, the only problem was that you needed to go to the app to answer a question. Not the worst thing in the world, but it does interrupt your flow when you're responding to other emails.

That's why we're adding our Email Reply feature. Questions asked of you are delivered to your email inbox.  To respond, all you have to do is reply as you would to any email.  The answer will appear in the ticket and the question will be recorded as answered.  Forgot to mention something? No problem, another email reply will simply be appended after the first.

Go to PMRobot to try it out with your team members.

Too much going on? No problem, you can sort it out.

Now it's easier to get your priorities in order

We're always working to make what's already a great project management app even better and more user friendly.

Now you can spend less time managing and more time getting things done.

Drag and drop your tickets anywhere in the queue

You no longer have to click arrows to move the ticket from one column to the next. The updated sorting saves time, and makes it much easier to get everything laid out in just the right way.  If you haven't seen it, take a look: https://pmrobot.com/tickets/sort

New Inline Quickedit feature

Here at PMRobot, we're always looking for ways to reduce the number of clicks.

We call our latest improvement the "Inline Quickedit".

To use the Inline Quickedit feature, simply click or tap a field in the List view:


You’ll be presented with a touch-friendly pop-up to quickly select the field:


Two clicks and you’re done!

This feature currently works with:

• Ticket Type
• Priority
• Effort
• Milestone
• Assignee

New: Clean and simple navigation

PMRobot has a great new menu and navigation system!

We've always had the most features, but sometimes it's been a bit difficult to actually find them. :)

Those days are over.

Everything is now right at your fingertips.

We've crunched through over a year of logs and statistics to determine the most frequently used pages, and put them right up front.

The less popular (but equally useful) pages have been moved to a secondary menu.

They're still easy to access, but don't get in the way of your day-to-day work.

We've also improved the "quick submit" box by moving it to the left and sprucing it up:

...and don't forget -- PMRobot works great on mobile devices like smartphones and tablets!

We hope these improvements help save you even more time, and make your day just a bit more pleasant :)

We're continuing to work hard every day to make PMRobot faster and easier for you.

What do you think of the new navigation?

Drag and Drop Sorting + Gantt Charts

This week we introduced two great new features!

Now you can spend less time managing and more time getting things done.

Drag and Drop Sorting

Instead of dealing with the abstract notions of high, normal, and low, we now use the Agile concepts of Current, Backlog, and Icebox to give an indication of the order in which groups of tickets will be worked on.

Within these main priority levels, you can simply drag tickets up and down to fine-tune the exact ordering of individual tickets.

Try it now at: https://pmrobot.com/tickets/sort

Gantt Chart

This week we also introduced a new beta feature: the Gantt Chart.

A Gantt Chart gives you a quick, visible overview of upcoming milestones and resource allocations.

You can also see at a glance which tickets have not yet been assigned.

Give it a try right now at: https://pmrobot.com/chart/gantt

Don't forget...

PMRobot keeps everything in one place, making your job easier.
