Clone blocks
Clone blocks represent the same work in several locations in Per People. Clones are only visible in this view; Per Topic continues to display the source block once.
Clones share their start date, end date, duration, and horizontal movement. They can move independently between people lines. Selecting a clone draws blue connectors to every related clone.
Automatic clones
When several teams are assigned to one block in Per Topic, ProdRoads automatically creates synchronized clone blocks for those teams in Per People.
See it in action
The example below creates clones from a roadmap block, then shows the synchronized representations in Per People.
ProdRoads proposes cloning when matching topic, text, and dates are detected, including after copy and paste. Use Unclone from the block menu to make one clone independent.
Dependencies added to cloned work apply to every clone representation.
Use clones when the same work must appear for several people while keeping one synchronized schedule.
Unclone makes only the selected representation independent. Later date changes will no longer follow the other clones.
