Hi all.

I hope you are working on your project hierarchies, which will allow you to quickly navigate through your project, drilling down and zooming out as the need arises.

After working so hard to get your hierarchies organized, you deserve to be able to visualize them. So that's what I am going to be working on this month, a set of easy visual user story and task boards and burndown charts.

With this addition, PFT will be moving into Alpha, and will already become a quite useful tool in its own right.

Afterwards, top priorities continue to be:

• Easy access to relevant portions of fully functional prototype/test/production sites directly from the project, directly from the relevant user stories.
• Drill down to commits via the Version Control API to obtain full bi-directional traceability from requirements to code and back again, and to be able to set up "searchlight" reports that show the code touched by a given user story.
• Publication of PFT as an installation profile on drupal.org, where it will always be free as in beer and speech.
• More and better podcasts / documentation.
• On-line forums on the Project Flow & Tracker site.
• Interface improvements.
• Integration with Selenium and/or other automated functional testing frameworks.
• Nagios monitoring with your test/production sites.

Medium and longer term goals are:

• Move on to Beta functionality as per plans.
• Full integration with Drupal project and project issue family of modules.
• Full integration with Drupal hosting, provisioning and deployment modules (whatever they turn out to be... :)  actually the Aegir family is starting to look pretty good, we are testing it out already.
• Project Flow & Tracker mentoring service for large-scale projects.

So that's where we're headed, folks, sit tight, and most importantly of all, work on your projects!
