More integrations and standalone app

The Atlassian ecosystem is constantly evolving, and we are not staying behind. We want to offer our users continuous support in their migration journey to new solutions and hosting models. Hence, we are developing a migration support solution. We will soon offer backup and restore options for all hosting versions of BigPicture. The mechanism will enable easy migration between different hosting models.

We aim to further expand our family of integrations. We have already connected the BigPicture with Trello and Jira instances in the same hosting model as the parent instance. We plan to enable easy integration with multiple Jira instances, regardless of their hosting models, and with popular management platforms, such as Azure DevOps, GitLab, Microsoft Planner, and more.

All the changes and improvements featured on this page are not only intended to take your management experience with BigPicture to the next level but, first and foremost, to gradually materialize the vision of BigPicture.one – a standalone app reaching beyond the Jira realm. To get updates on BigPicture.one, remember to subscribe to our newsletter and follow us on LinkedIn and Twitter.

Take full control of your portfolio

The more information you can collect, the better. Raw data is not enough. That’s why we focus on better data visualization in the Reports module. It will soon be capable of presenting crucial information such as cross-team dependencies, predictability reports, velocity charts, work progress reports, or team availability reports, to name just a few. This is just a beginning, as we aim to expand the range of report widgets successively.

The Overview module will also be adapted for greater flexibility. We plan to achieve this by introducing configurable Column Views. You will soon be able to create a customized Column View by removing unnecessary columns and selecting such that you need to switch between at any time easily. Column Views will also be branded by newly implemented metrics.

Furthermore, we aim to expand financial monitoring. We plan to add new columns on Overview: Budget, Actual cost, and Estimated cost. The latter two indicators could be either set manually or calculated automatically – based on the costs of tasks in the scope. The next planned feature to implement is that users will have the possibility to calculate the estimated task and actual costs based on the cost rates of resources needed to perform it.

We intend to focus more on Objectives & Key Results (OKRs). Users will soon be able to align the objectives with scheduled works to drive execution. Furthermore, key results of the objectives could be tracked and measured. The former allows breaking the biggest, most ambitious goals into smaller, more manageable, and transparent elements. The latter will improve the control over the execution with the help of generated, up-to-date charts.

Next Level of User Experience

Our first and foremost priority is user experience. We strive to even out the performance of modules containing large tasks and resources and shorten their loading time.

Our next goal is to improve the performance and usability of key functionalities, such as scheduling and planning within modules. We want to make BigPicture even more transparent and user-friendly by enhancing sorting, filtering, grouping, and searching functionalities. Key operations will be enhanced and adjusted to the requirements of integrations with 3rd party tools, and inline task editing will be available directly on the app screens.

We believe that functionality must go hand in hand with accessibility. We aim to make our app as user-friendly and accessible as possible to shorten and improve the onboarding time of new employees. Moreover, we are preparing a multi-language app interface containing a set of available translations and more. Users will customize the language used in the app or even create new translations, depending on their internal operational needs. We put customers at the center of our attention.

On top of that, we plan to introduce color-coding automation. Users will be able to automatically color tasks – based on predefined business rules and preferences.
