Agile Project Management
Project Gantt Chartis a useful graphical overview of all your project milestones, releases/sprints and can be use to access detailed progress information of individual items in the chart. Easily create new planning items.
Create Milestone/Release/Sprintsby simply dragging features,requirements and issues from the backlog into the next planning item. Use Release/Sprints in Milestones if a more granular approach is needed.
Critical Pathis calculated to find out what developer is on the critical path of the planned Milestone/Release/Sprint and the end date is proposed accordingly because a planning item can not finish faster then the developer on the critical path. Also overall duration is calculated.
Dashboardprovides the graphical representation of the project, release, and individual team member progress using a time based and an item based burndown chart and testcase status pie charts.
My Itemssection is unique to every team member and holds all assigned project items. It contains important active release stats and can be used to subdivide requirements and issues into smaller tasks.

Users/Teams and Networks
Internal vs External UsersInternal users have a user account within your company account whereas external users have their user account with another company. Both can be added as team members to a project you own. This allows every user to access all the projects he is involved in from the same user account even if the project is owned by another company.
TeamsSimply drag internal users or external users from your network into the project team. Or send an email to someone who doesn’t yet have an Outfarm account.
Cumulative Role based access controlBesides the obligatory account admin role, there are several project specific roles that clearly define access rights.
Network (Beta)Stay in touch with your collaborators. The network contains all users that have ever been either part of the company account or have worked as an external user on a project owned by your account.
