The new release of in-STEP BLUE offers users improved activity planning in the WebApp, which enables an overview of deadlines and costs with a Gantt chart. When planning resources, immediate notifications help prevent overloading an employee and notifications can also be attached to employees’ planned hours. Navigation in team planning has been simplified. Multi-project branching is now also an option to allow requirements and test specifications to be easily transferred from one project to another.
