The performance of the App has a tremendous impact on the user experience. For that reason Therefore, we remain focused on continuously introducing further improvements in various App areas of the App.

This year we aim to achieve: Shorter loading time and smoother performance of modules that contain a large number of tasks/resources in their scope (most noticeable for Gantt, Board, Roadmap, and Resources modules); Improved performance of key functionalities (scheduling on the Gantt module, planning on the Board module, report generation time, etc.); Faster scope synchronization with connected tools (Jira, Trello); Background large data volume synchronization not affecting the performance of the hosting/integrated tools (Jira, Trello); Fully single-page Application (almost unnoticeable switching between screens within the App with less need to reload the page).
We have implemented and will keep developing a detailed performance monitoring of our frontend components, REST APIs, selected E2E features, etc. The test results are monitored throughout the entire development process to improve performance and avoid potential regressions. If you want to find out learn more about recent and future performance improvements, follow the links below links. Performance improvements - recent updates

Reporting Framework
We aim to improve data reporting and visualization capabilities across available modules (especially : Reports, Overview, Scope, and Resources).

What can you expect? A much more powerful Reports module providing many new reporting widgets. To name a few: Cross-team dependencies, Cross-project dependencies, Objectives achievements/ Predictability report, Velocity chart, Work progress report, Team availability report, Risk matrix, etc. We will successively expand the catalog of the available report widgets. The possibility of having embedded reports widgets among different App screens of the App, starting with the Overview module and going further. All vital information will always be at your fingertips.
The implementation starts at the end of Q1 2021 and will last for the rest of the year (we will regularly release increments of new features).

We are going to will provide greater flexibility to the Overview module by introducing configurable Column Views. What use cases will we cover? Add useful scope-based aggregations calculated for your portfolios, programs, ARTs, projects, etc. Adjust the view and remove unnecessary columns. Save The save column is set as a View view and switch switches between saved Viewsviews. Customize a View by adding brand new metrics available on Overview (health status/ traffic lights, teams involved, required skills, etc.).
The development kick-off is planned for Q2 2021.

What can you expect? New columns available in the Overview module: Budget, Actual cost, Estimated cost: Actual costs and Estimated costs on Overview can be automatically calculated based on tasks in the scope: Users can establish actual cost costs and Estimated cost estimated costs on the task level, allowing for defining the definition of the cost of the respective tasks or deliverables. Costs rolling up possibility across portfolios. Up-to-date portfolio reporting by syncing costs on the task level with respective custom fields.
Individual resource cost rates: Possibility to calculate the task (Epic, Story, etc.) estimated or actual costs based on the resource cost rate assigned and task estimate or already logged work for the task Costs rolling up possibility across portfolios.
The implementation will start in Q3 2021 and last at least for the rest of the year (we will regularly release new features in increments).
