We ran a survey to investigate what you like about iteraplan and what you are missing. You can find here the survey results.

With this survey we want to gather feedback about the usage of iteraplan and how we can improve iteraplan and our service offerings.

Here is a list of the features mentioned in the survey with detailed descriptions:

 

Current features/aspects of iteraplan

Spreadsheet ReportsQuerying the data of elements (e.g. Information Systems) and relations to other elements; Output either as HTML or as Excel;
Graphical Reports/Diagrams

There are four different types of diagrams (information flow, landscape, portfolio, masterplan) highly configurable. The output is Microsoft Visio and all configurations/queries can be saved to run reports faster. 

Excel ExportExporting elements into an Excel document with all associated data of the elements
Bulk UpdatesUpdating elements and their relations in bulk.
Consistency Checks

There are consistency checks for checks of consistent data in the database to ensure high quality and hint at week spots within the data.

Positioning in information flow diagram
The user should be able to determine the position of elements in the information flow diagram. A possible solution could be to upload a generated and changed diagram, which gets filled with the new data.
Cluster diagram as a new report
Show clusters of elements (e.g. a functional based on relations. Elements can be of different types, e.g. business functions and objects get clustered according to their relation to business processes.
Response time and overall performance
Improve the current response time and performance in reading, editing, querying and exporting.
Export data in XML, CSV, ...
Offer of further export data structures
Import data via File-Upload
Import data via an File-Upload to start with already existing data and to enable an exchange of data with other tools
Role-based saved queries
With iteraplan 2.2 you will be able to save queries for diagrams. These saved queries will be available for all users. With this new feature it will be possible to specify the users/roles who should be able to select them.
Table for assignment of relations e.g. btw. objects and systems
Assign relations between different elements in the format of an matrix or table, which enables a bulk editing.
Use relations for colors in diagrams
iteraplan 2.2 offers the possibility to use status and custom attributes for coloring of elements in diagrams. This should also be possible for relations between elements.

For your effort we'll offer you a special version of the iteraplan Community Edition, containing many features usually only available in iteraplan Enterprise Edition. Amongst other things, the extensive possibilities of configuring graphical reports according to your needs are included. Usually this is only part of the Enterprise Edition.
