Team boards and more
This release brings new ways to manage your team’s work, the ability to connect related items, and a refreshed design to make Atono feel more cohesive and polished.
Team board view: visualize your workflow
The team backlog just got a major upgrade with a kanban-style board view—perfect for visualizing progress, identifying bottlenecks, and limiting work in progress. And yes, it works seamlessly with custom workflows too.
Here’s what makes it great:
At-a-glance details
Spot key details like item types and IDs, assignees, sizes (stories), risk ratings (bugs), estimated completion dates, and staleness indicators.
Load balance
Reassign stories and bugs right from the board to distribute work evenly across team members.
Drag and drop
Move items through workflow steps or reorder them within a step.
Collapsible columns
Focus on what matters by collapsing steps you don’t need to see right now. Collapsed columns show indicator bars and item counts on hover, so you can still keep an eye on workflow progress and spot bottlenecks.
Item type filter
Switch between viewing stories, bugs, or both. Your preference is remembered for each backlog.
Want to dive deeper into an item? Click it to view full details, and use the + button in a column header or at the bottom of a step to add new items.
Prefer the list view? It’s still here—switch between views anytime using the icons in the backlog header.
Linked items: track dependencies with ease
Work smarter with Linked items, a feature that links related stories and bugs so you can stay aligned and tackle dependencies head-on.
Why it’s invaluable:
- Highlight critical connections: Show dependencies between items, like which bugs pertain to which stories, so your team understands what impacts what.
- Navigate seamlessly: Jump between related stories and bugs directly from the Linked items section in an item’s details.
- See the bigger picture: Quickly see the status of related items to understand broader workflow progress.
A fresh new look
We’ve given Atono a makeover! The new design feels cohesive and polished, uniting the website and app for a seamless experience.
What’s new:
- Light and dark modes: Redesigned to reduce eye strain and improve focus, no matter how you like to work.
- Updated colours: Users, teams, and workflow steps are now easier to differentiate.
- Refreshed emails: Consistent, modern, and unmistakably Atono.
