Productive Monthly Updates: August

Welcome to our August Monthly updates! 😎

We’re here to highlight recent product improvements we’ve done so you can easily stay up-to-date on what’s new in Productive.

As per usual, let’s walk through everything we pushed out last month.

Here’s a time saver for you: now you can request and approve time off in Productive. 

This helps your agency’s project managers make better decisions regarding project planning. As soon as a time off request is accepted by a manager, they’ll know exactly who’s on vacation and when in Scheduling. At the same time, your teammates will instantly know how many vacation days they’ve spent—and how many they have left.

Now you can duplicate task lists and boards, be it inside a project you’re working on, or even in another project.

You can even precisely define which parts of the list you’d like to duplicate, like due dates, comments, and assignees. This will undoubtedly save you loads of time, and you can individually select which tasks would you like to duplicate if you don’t want to duplicate the whole list.

Depending on what your payment policy is, what’s new in Productive is that you can choose your cost rate. Now it can be weekly, bi-weekly, or annual.
