Business value
When working with long-duration or complex requirements, it's often necessary to specify the pattern (sometimes called the work contour) for how the work will break down into bookings when the requirement is scheduled. This feature improves and modernizes this process, making it significantly easier to break down requirements prior to booking.
Feature details
We improve the experience for breaking down requirements into requirement details. Examples of key improvements are:
- Modernize the existing Specify Pattern control, improving performance and stability and aligning it with the new schedule board.
- Allow bulk operations for requirement details, including the ability to bulk edit at various timescales.
- Enable split and move operations to easily make updates as schedules and capacities change.
