Schedule Snapshots
Since AgileAgenda does a good job of dynamically changing your schedule during the course of the project, one of the things it has been poor at in the past is understanding how the schedule is changing. Besides keeping track of the projected end-date, it was hard to tell how you're doing.
Not anymore! Now you can take a snapshot when viewing the schedule. Later, when changes to the schedule have been made, you can load a snapshot and compare it to the current schedule. See the example below. A snapshot is shown as semi-transparent bars on the schedule below each task so you can easily see if a task is ahead or behind the snapshot date.
In that example the snapshot and current task line up for the very first task, but the snapshots for all the other tasks come before the current estimate for those tasks. That lets you know something is going wrong and you're late. As you can see, the milestones also get snapshots.

Could the next version allow us to add fields to the Task List, fields that we want to keep track of, like "description" or "budget ($)"?
Hello Ariel,
There currently is a place to add a description for tasks. It's a large text area at the bottom of the "edit tasks" pane and acts on the currently selected task. That's been on my list to make it more obvious since it is hard to notice.
For budget, I'd be interested in how you would use that since there's been some requests to add in some project costing support.
As for custom fields, I don't think that will get into the next build, but I'll certainly add it to a list of feature requests. I can think of several ways that could be useful.
