Identifying Released Tasks

 

Released Tasks Definition

Released tasks are those tasks in the plan that have no incomplete predecessors.  In other words they are planned tasks that have no remaining constraints.  In certain workflow situations it may be beneficial to isolate released tasks to identify possible backlog work that the team can perform when they have available resources.
 
 
How to Identify All Available Work in the Plan? 
To identify all available work regardless of its priority,
  • Open the "Find Released Tasks" dialog, make sure that the option "Include Visible Tasks Only" is unchecked, and click OK.  vPlanner will identify and select the list of released tasks in the entire project. 
  • You can use the View/Hide All Except Selection to isolate those tasks in the main view.
  • You can use the Timeline View to generate an ordered list of those tasks or use the Swimlanes Composer to arrange them.

Identify All Available Work for a Given Team (or any other task attribute):
  • Use the Task Filter to first filter tasks by Team (or attribute).

  • You can use the View/Hide All Except Selection to isolate those tasks in the main view.
  • You can use the Timeline View to generate an ordered list of those tasks or use the Swimlanes Composer to arrange them.
