Once you’ve got a backlog of projects, it’s time to set start and end dates. Even if you don’t know exactly when a projects will be ready, it's okay to make a guess – it's helpful for getting ahead of potential experiment collisions or conflicts.
Here’s how:
Open the Edit project dialog
Click on Edit in the bottom-right corner of any project card in the backlog column of your board.
Add your dates
Click Add dates in the detailed view that opens up. Choose your dates from the calendar picker. Again, don’t stress about getting these just right — project dates are always editable. Save by clicking Done editing.
Panobi will update the status of your project according to the start and end dates you choose. Once a project has been assigned a start date, it will move out of your backlog and into the list of upcoming projects, and later into the “live” column. If you’ve selected an end date, the project will move to the completed column on that day. You’ll receive an email or a Slack message (depending on your notification settings) as a reminder before these changes, in case you need to edit the dates.
Level up with feature flags✨
In order to automate the status of a project so that it syncs with your feature flags, you must first connect your feature flag service (such as LaunchDarkly, Split, or Statsig) to Panobi in Settings, under Integrations. Once your flag service is connected, simply choose the correct feature flag from the dropdown list in edit mode. It’s still best practice to choose start and end dates for all your projects – even those connected to a feature flag – so that your team can stay up-to-date with your plans.
