The Task Master team here at Bamboo has been hard at work for months on the new release, and I’m pleased to announce that the much improved Task Master R3.5 for SharePoint 2010 is now ready to make its debut.

New Features in R3.5 for SharePoint 2010:

• Provides the option to assign multiple resources to a task:

• Provides the option to exclude lunchtime in the project schedule:

• Integrates with List Rollup Web Part to consume data (where the data source is from List Rollup) and display aggregated task items from multiple sites:

• Additional conditions for Adjusting Task Schedule: Change a task’s duration, total work, or due date when resource assignments are changed based on task conditions, e.g., keep duration constant, keep total work constant, but increase or decrease the hours that resources work per day:

• Improvements to the tool pane interface provide a Search/Find option, allow users to delete task items from the interface, and view Project Schedule Configuration Settings from the interface:

• Provides the ability to Disable the Recalculate button adding additional rules wherein, if the Recalculate button is disabled, Task Master will not apply any business rules or changes (Task Master will allow users to keep the data as is) … and much more!

Note: Task Master will also be available for SharePoint 2013 early this year.
