Live backlog update and tag auto-complete

Posted by on June 26, 2009

In the latest sprint of Banana Scrum most of the effort was focused on live synchronization of product backlog, sprint backlog and sprint planning page. This is a good news for dispersed teams since now each update triggers notification to all currently logged users. In the very same moment the whole team sees the changes you've just made. Just sit comfortably in your chair watching new items showing up and old ones getting moved without the need to use the refresh button.

Another enhancement is the auto-complete feature for tag assignment. Simply type a few letters of the tag and find the proper one in an eye blink. You can create new tags that don't exist yet and assign to items in the same way. Moreover currently you can see the number of items assigned to each tag, which makes the tagging feature even more useful. There are also several bug fixes for IE, the browser that needs the most attention to get things working. Last but not least we are introducing numerous performance optimizations that will make your experience with Banana Scrum even smoother. Enjoy!
