Close on the heels of the last release comes another cool one, introducing much-awaited features. Next week will be even bigger, but we're getting ahead of ourselves.

Introducing Epics for work that spans several cycles

For more complex projects with work that doesn't neatly fit into a single cycle, you now have Epics that group more and run longer.

• Group any number of issues, sub-issues, and related issues into an epic and track it separately within a project.
• Tailor epics to your trac kables with property types from text fields to member pickers.
• See overall visual progress by stategroups.
• Create new issues from within an epic to add them easily.
• Soon, you will connect epics to Initiatives. 😉

Introducing a brand new Home

• Widget controls let you customize what you see and act on when you get Home.
