Videos of Steps for initial model building, simulation, and forecasts

6/1/2022

0 Comments

 
New tutorial videos have been added to the TeamPort site support library. 

Our existing and well-received Getting Started videos cover installation, configuration, launch, and overview of the TeamPort platform. Now we've added 12 new short "Step" videos have been added to the support library.

Created for beginning users, these videos share basic steps to gain familiarity with building a project model, running simulations of various types, and exploring and comparing forecasts.

In addition to the User Guides, the videos are in response to requests from our students and users around the world.  Take a look!

4.5

Picture
After a positive response last month to our new user interface, we took further steps to integrate the FLAT look with other user experience parts of TeamPort.  Users will see more consistent use of the accent color (configured in Styles at log in) across menus, tabs, toolbars, tables, and matrices.

While we were at it, we compiled and tested the platform with the newest Java 17 and JavaFX17.

  • Updated and compiled with Java 17 and JavaFX 17
  • Refinements to flat Look and Feel, including consistent use of shading and accent hues across tables and matrices
​Please enjoy the new release!

TeamPort 4.3 released

12/10/2021

0 Comments

 

4.3

Picture
As we wrap up a great year with several strong releases, the new version 4.3 includes a flat look at feel that will be common across all operating systems.  We've also strengthened security and made installation a little easier with code-signing on both Windows and MacOS versions.

The HELP content, which has been refined and increased, has been removed from the local folder of the Designer software and instead available as a link from within TeamPort and on the web. This change reduces the installer by at least 10 MB.

We are also announcing the release of TeamPort versions for aarch64 processors, including Apple's M1. That means that team members using up to six different computer operating systems will share a common TeamPort experience.
  • New Flat look and feel, consistent across Windows, MacOS, and Linux
  • New – installer for MacOS (M1 processor) and Linux aarch64
  • HELP content moved from local installed folder to online location, reducing the installer size by 10MB
  • Code-signing for both Windows and MacOS applications

TeamPort 4.2 - Project Model Health Check

7/22/2021

4.2

Picture
At GPD we're keeping at it, and perhaps inspired by the pandemic, we've focused in this release on model health.  As organizations adopt model-based projects and analytics, the abilities to build, validate, and curate models are essential.  We are pleased to share a new platform capability, model health check:
  • New: TeamPort Health Check – provides a list of model inconsistencies and missing elements required for simulation, tagged to specific parts of the project model for easier attention. Automatically triggered when running a simulation.
We've also enhanced a few things along the way.
  • Chat window visual upgrades to match style, language and highlights user more clearly
  • Added catch of rare exception when multiple users cause breakdown tree structure to become inconsistent
  • Menus and items reorganized for clarity:  Debug added to Help menu, new icons added to several items
  • Server:  automatic detection of previous database versions and update

TeamPort 4.1 released - new visual tools and user controls

4/12/2021

1 Comment

 

4.1

Picture
The GPD team has done it again; a great new release for a new spring season.  This release adds a few features that place the user in control, with customization of the project sketch, access to multiple server side database, and client side editing of username to go along with the password self-management added last year. We continue to put in places a new teamwork analytics layer that will be the emphasis of V5.  We also tackled a long standing issue with how mutual dependencies leading to very small stochastic starts of activities would appear on a Gantt chart. (no more!)  Here are some of the updates:
  • New: a Designer client menu item can be enabled to allow user to select amongst multiple databases on the server side
  • New: change username from Designer client
  • New: Teamwork instrumentation layer added with fingerprints
  • Enhanced: Mutual dependencies better show the expected start of the activities even if very small (stochastic) progress.  Most evident on Gantt charts start milestones.
  • New: Auto arrange, Explode, and Rotate buttons/ sliders in toolbar when selecting on Architecture Sketch View
  • New: Selection menu with auto arrange, explode and rotation items.

4.0.2

Picture
We don't often get the chance to release our software on leap day, but as our cadence of enhancements to our fourth generation platform, we didn't want to wait until March!

This release 4.0.2 includes
  • Refinement of the new application, Design Walk,  overall layout  based on user feedback
  • Bug fixes: persistence of travel times and costs to database, deletion of contracts in Architecture View, and removal of double listeners on team detail pane
  • Preview release of fingerprints, a new teamwork analytics function that allows teams to step back and view their performance during project modeling workshops.  We'll see much more of teamwork analytics in future releases (and especially in TeamPort 5) / These preview and user activity oriented analytics are grounded with opt-in settings on client side.

The Teamwork Platform has been updated with release 3.9.2, one of a few final releases before the exciting major release.
​
With 3.9.2, GPD has refined animations and navigation, allowing seamless exploration of project models in Designer with simple click or touch.  The simulator has been further optimized and prepared for some architectural changes (coming soon!).  The whole platform has been compiled and tested in Java 8.  Several new views and a new application are integrated, but we'll save the major announcement of those to our next release :) Installation has been made easier and more secure, allowing a quick start on Windows, MacOS, and Linux in just minutes.
