March 8th 2026 Update of Documentation

The documentation has been updated to reflect the new functionality added.
The screenshots have been re-taken to reflect this.

March 7th 2026 Force View Mode added

You can now force a selected view mode on a focused topic and all the topics below.
This is an advanced feature and will not be needed by most of the casual audience.

March 4th 2026 Additional View Modes added

The two additional view modes "Kanbanboard" and "Contextchart" have been added.
The "Kanbanboard" mode renders all topics in horizontal columns by state to reflect a dynamic Kanban board.
The "Contextchart" mode allows rendering topics within topics either vertically or horizontally to group things by context.
Both are considered "supportive" modes; the primary view mode remains the "Roadmap" view.

February 28th 2026 Print View added

Sometimes you want to provide other people outside of your team with a view on your roadmap.
Naturally, you could give them read only access to your Focus™ roadmap, but this would require to give them access to the Focus™ app by providing them a user account.
In many cases this may not be desirable, especially if the people are outside of your organization.
For this case you can use the print view of a roadmap.
The "Print" button is available in the left part of the breadcrumb of the roadmap and the myroadmap view.
Clicking it will create a new browser tab, which renders your current roadmap view in an easily printable version.
Just invoke the print function of your browser, select landscape mode, make sure that the background image is printed (there is usually a checkbox for that), adjust the scale if neccessary (make sure that everything fits nicely on the pages) and finally print it as a PDF file.
This PDF file can be distributed independent of the Focus™ app to the interested audience.

February 14th 2026 MyRoadmap View added

Based on feedback from the initial users we added a MyRoadmap view, which works exactly the same as the default roadmap view, but shows all topics into which you are involved.
This feature works also for other users; you can click on any user avatar in a roadmap or search for a user to invoke a MyRoadmap view for this person.
The feature is really cool as it is not just a simple personal ToDo list; it works like your own consolidated personal roadmap based on all the different roadmaps you are involved with.

February 8th 2026 Documentation has been completed

The initial iteration of documentation has been completed and can be considered beta quality, as no peer review has taken place yet.
It has been integrated into the application as a documentation page and can be easily accessed from home, the main menu or the top-level menu bar.
