✨ Feature: Macro Kanban View - Multi-Project Task Aggregation

Open vasconceloscezar opened this issue 1 month ago • 0 comments

Feature Request

Priority: Low (backlog)

Summary

Enable configurable kanban views that aggregate tasks from multiple projects based on filter criteria, allowing unified visibility across related projects (e.g., backend + frontend).

Motivation

  • Teams working across multiple projects need unified task visibility
  • Related projects (backend/frontend) benefit from single kanban view
  • Current one-kanban-per-project model limits cross-project workflows

Proposed Solution

Implement "filter views" or "macro kanbans" with configuration options:

Filter Criteria:

  • Project selection (multi-select)
  • Task status
  • Labels/tags
  • Assignees
  • Date ranges
  • Custom filters

Example Use Cases:

  1. "Full Stack Sprint" - Show backend + frontend tasks together
  2. "Release v1.0" - Aggregate tasks from multiple projects for a release
  3. "Team View" - Show all tasks assigned to specific team members across projects

Technical Considerations

  • Extend kanban data model to support multi-project queries
  • Add filter configuration UI (similar to saved searches)
  • Maintain existing single-project kanbans (backward compatibility)
  • Consider performance impact of multi-project queries
  • Handle task actions (move, edit) across projects

Future Enhancements

  • Saved filter presets
  • Team/workspace-level views
  • Real-time sync across multiple projects
  • Custom grouping (by project, status, assignee, etc.)
