🚀 2024

We’re thrilled to announce the release of a new feature designed to align the Holaspirit Projects app more closely with Holacracy principles!

Based on feedback, we recognized that Holacracy organizations needed a clear distinction between Actions and Projects, as the flexible Task entity was not aligned with the constitution.

To address this, we implemented a setting in the Holacracy add-on, allowing organizations to define their approach to managing projects.

Good news: we’ve resumed work on the Publications app to further enhance it before its official launch!
​

This release marks the first phase of our Publications experiment as more features will be deployed to the experimental environment later, allowing you to test out the app and share your feedback before its official release.

🔖 How to enable Experimental features

The Publications space is designed to provide centralized access to the organization's governance documentation. To make it even better, we're introducing a more intuitive app layout to clarify every view's purpose.

The app is segmented in two sections :

​My Publications, being the member's personal workspace, it provides two dedicated views :

📌 Note : Each view offers its own pinning options, along with customizable sorting and grouping settings.

Organizations have different needs when it comes to board management. Some require strict adherence to a board's format, while others need the flexibility to define board layouts and parameters across the entire organization as a common baseline.

We've made possible to pre-define boards' structure (and their settings) directly in Administration, allowing admins to set organization-wide board alignment.

🔑 Key features:

We’ve made it easier to manage multiple boards independently. Now, you can integrate each board with external tools like Trello, Asana, or Jira directly from the board itself: no more circle-level linking!

🔑 Key features:

📌 Note: Integrations already enabled at the circle level will remain active for the default circle board, no need to set them up again!

We are thrilled to announce the launch of Holaspirit's new Projects app ! 🚀

To provide global enhancement while offering lots of new features, we worked hard to bring the Actions and Projects together, all while integrating our users' feedback along the way.

Our goal? Take the best of both worlds to enhance you task and project management, and make sure members can navigate their work effortlessly!

Actions and Projects become Tasks, which can be used as part of a project board or as standalone reminders and to-dos. Build as many levels of subtasks as needed to thoroughly define project details.

Easily switch between Hierarchy, List, and Kanban views to manage your tasks and project boards seamlessly from one app.

Define the views most adapted to your workflow, either in a board or in your member's workspace. Use group-bys to efficiently focus, and pin your boards for quick-access.

No limits on the number of boards you can create per circle, allowing for meticulous project management. Add it, name it, work it!

Boards have their owns Administrators and settings, where privacy, completion column and admin rights can be managed.

Move tasks seamlessly between boards, or from your workspace to a board, and decide precisely where they land.

Update and customize your task's progression bar for a clear, visual representation of advancement.

Duplicate boards and tasks for recurring projects, and archive completed boards to maintain a clear history.

Consult the list of board members, track changes with the board's activity log, use filters to find tasks quickly, and export data for reporting.

Use project boards in meetings, for a efficient review and collaboration time.

A rich documentation is crucial for transparency and clarity within organizations. That's why we've made a step further toward role and circle personalization through new custom fields features!

We've added List and Multi-select options to our existing Text and Single-select fields to make organizing and capturing information more effective for roles, circle but also members profiles.

Set where fields are shown in governance: across roles & circles, roles only, circles only, or hidden. You can also arrange the display order with a simple drag'n'drop on governance pages and member profiles directly from the Administation.

Members can now effortlessly edit and add content directly on their respective role, circle, or profile pages, simplifying updates and encouraging active participation.

The "Strategy" field on circles and the "Biography" field on member profiles are now customizable fields, allowing for adjustments in name, type, and visibility to better align with your organization's needs.
