Atlas Home - Project Updates

Ronnie F

Is there a plan for the Atlas Home Page - Project Updates to become a live feed? Waiting until Monday offers limited value when we provide project updates daily. Information becomes irrelevant a week later. 

Can you configure it to be daily updates or a live feed? 

 

Thank you,

Hey Ronnie, thanks for writing in! We don't have any plans for project updates to become a live feed, but we are working on ways to allow more customization of the home page. With Atlas, we intended to create a communication loop that adds consistency to updates—the main idea is that everyone shares their updates on Friday so that everyone can read the latest update on Monday morning. We know not every team works like this (or maybe doesn't want to work like this), so we're working on ways to allow more flexibility to how updates are posted and shared.

In the meantime, there are a couple workarounds for more instantaneous updates (though not exactly the same as a live feed):

• On the home page, you click the right arrow at the top of the feed to switch to the "This week" view to see updates that have been posted for the current week.
• You can connect projects to Slack or MS Teams to have updates shared in channels directly after they are posted.

We'll keep working on ways to improve the feed per your suggestion—I've added it to the backlog so we can discuss and develop further. Thanks again!
