This week was a big one for increasing usability with cleaner navigation, avatars for scannability, and solidifying our workflow by focusing on requirements for planning and sprints for execution.
We also welcomed several new teams to our early access program and published a new Tara.AI homepage.
Cleaner navigation and a more focused app
We zeroed in on what makes teams productive and removed anything that was a distraction. Tara now has three very focused areas:
- Home – Focused on your work, including tasks for the current sprint
- Requirements – Focused on being the source of truth for development, requirements cover: designs, specifications, user stories, and more
- Sprints – Focused on turning a plan into execution, our sprints feature makes sprint planning and execution visible and informed.
Avatars
We added avatars for individual requirements so you can easily scan for the one you want while you’re updating requirements or planning sprints.
Create tasks where you use them
We wanted to accelerate sprint planning and now you can create tasks in Sprints, Requirements, and individual sprints. No more context switching just to create a task, you just keep planning and moving.
Cleaner lines and interactions
We polished our tables, modals, and text elements so they are all cleaner and create a more coherent experience. We also found and fixed some interaction bugs that will bring more reliability to everyone.
Building more insight and guidance
We added a task count to each requirement giving you more ways to plan, track effort, and understand the scope of new development.
New homepage for Tara.AI
We’re quietly rolling out a new set of pages for our main website. This will give everyone interested in Tara a more accurate picture of the platform. We’ll be growing our user content to include more guidance and best practices using Tara in the coming months.
Early access
Welcome to our newest teams! We’re so excited that you’re helping us build a better world for software teams.
