Over 2020 and 2021, we have received generous and positive feedback and plenty of suggestions for further improvement as well over our Support Portal. We are happy to say that many of these requests are answered by the new features implemented in versions 3.0 to 3.5 of the app.
Perhaps the biggest change to date in the life of Epic Roadmap came on 21st, of March, with the introduction of version 3.0. After seeing customer requests and our ideas to meet these needs and other features we envisioned for Epic Roadmap, we came to realize that we needed to rewire how the app handles projects and boards.
In the previous versions, when a roadmap was added to a project with multiple boards, they were created for each board immediately, but there was no option to configure them differently for each board. Also, when opened through different projects, changes made in one project didn’t translate to other projects’ views.
To eliminate these problems and make the roadmaps more easily configurable (per board), and make them tied closer to boards instead of projects, we had to take a huge risk. Making the necessary back-end modifications would cause some data loss in the settings users made in their roadmaps, and some of these configurations would have to be made again after the update.
You can read more on this in the upgrade guide. But again, we were firm believers that the benefits would greatly outweigh these inconveniences after the update, and a huge majority of our users agreed and migrated with us to the new version.
