Why is this feature important to you -
My PMO manages projects for a Creative Studio Resource. At any given time there are more than 100 projects open. When we are looking at that teams Workload Balancer we can't tell easily which projects are running ahead or behind as there is no way to see the Priority. The Priority is a field in the Overview section on a Project under Basic Information that is an out of the box field. Today we utilize Flexible and Firm Deadline to know if the Creative Studio has more time or not for their task. They appear in green (Flexible) and red (Firm Deadline).
How would you like the feature to work -
If Priority was added as one of the Color Theme, then it would color code the projects on the Workload Balancer - green (Flexible) and red (Firm Deadline).
Benefits -
Team members can see which projects are most critical (green and red), fostering alignment and urgency.
Color-coded priorities help visualize workload distribution and plan for capacity more effectively.
Reduced PM time going back and forth between opening up every single project to see what the Priority is.
Current Behaviour -
Under Select Color theme, there are 3 options today:
Default: The bars for all projects and their work items display in blue.
Project: The bars associated with each project and its tasks change according to the name of the project. All tasks that belong to the project display in bars that match the color of the project. The project bars display in a lighter shade to distinguish them from the tasks. The project bars also include a project icon when choosing not to display allocations.
Project Status: The bars associated with each project and its work items change to the color of the status of the project.
The project status is that associated with the Group of the project. If the Group does not have group-specific statuses, the color of the work item bars is that of the system-level project status. Both system as well as custom statuses display. For information about group statuses, see Create or edit a group status.
However, my team is asking for the Priority field to be added to this Color Theme options.
