This integration allows to link files and folders in Nextcloud with work packages in OpenProject, which makes it possible see all files related to a work package (in Open Project) and all work packages related to a file (in Nextcloud).
A new Team Planner module (Enterprise feature) allows you to visually assign tasks to team members to get an overview of which team member is working on what and when tasks are due and schedule work accordingly. We are now publishing the basic agile boards for the Community! Making it possible to work with agile boards in the free of charge Community version of OpenProject. The "Include Projects" filter option makes it easier to add multiple projects to your views, such as for work packages, calendars, and team planners. We added a new "Files" tab in the work package details to have all possible information attached to a work package together. We created global roles for groups to assign these roles to groups and create superuser groups. The project status was given more options to choose from.
