Introducing the New UNITAF Roadmap

Evening all, we are pleased to announce the launch of our new UNITAF Roadmap feature! This tool is designed to enhance communication, streamline processes and foster collaboration across the entire unit. Here's everything you need to know:

 

What is the UNITAF Roadmap?

The UNITAF Roadmap is a new part of the website where you can track progress, share ideas, provide suggestions, and give feedback. It allows us to collectively manage and prioritize our initiatives, ensuring everyone is on the same page.

 

Benefits

1. More transparency: Stay informed about ongoing and upcoming items. Easily see what's being worked on, what's planned, and what needs your attention.
2. Better collaboration: Contribute your ideas and feedback directly on the platform. Vote on suggestions to help prioritize them.
3. Efficiency: Track the progress of various tasks and items. This helps us allocate resources more effectively and avoid duplication of efforts.
4. Engagement: Be an active participant in shaping the future of UNITAF. Your input is invaluable in driving improvements and innovations.
5. Dynamic and Flexible: Replacing the old, static UNITAF roadmap, this new tool aligns with the ORGCOC structure and can be moulded to meet our evolving needs.

 

How to Use the UNITAF Roadmap

1. Access the Roadmap: Navigate to the UNITAF Roadmap section on our website or use the direct link: UNITAF Roadmap.
2. Explore Items: Browse through the list of current and upcoming items. You can filter by tags or search for specific items.
3. Contribute: Click on any item to view details, leave comments, and vote. Your feedback helps guide our priorities.
4. Stay Updated: Updates will be posted on the progress of each item and to the new Roadmap channel on Discord.

 

 

Important Updates

• Discord Suggestions Channels: This tool will replace the Discord Suggestions channels. All suggestions currently in those channels will be moved over to the Roadmap, if you have made any suggestions and cannot find them in the Roadmap, you should add them there.
• System Migration: Staff will start moving other systems like Mod Suggestions and Campaign Suggestions to the Roadmap in due course, as we allow it to bed in.

 

 

Saved Filter Configurations

One of the most powerful features of the new Roadmap is the Saved Filter Configurations. This allows you to quickly load combinations of tags you frequently use, share them, and receive notifications for new items matching these combinations. Here's how you can use it:

1. Create a New Configuration

   • Go to the Roadmap.
   • Select the combination of tags you want to save.
   • Click "Save Configuration".
      

2. Manage Your Configurations

   • Access your saved configurations from the Roadmap. You can load, remove, share, or enable/disable notifications for each configuration.
      

3. System Configurations

   • We have included and will continue to set up more common configurations that you can load and customize as needed.

 

 

Why This Matters

This roadmap is designed to solve common problems, such as:

• Quickly find out what the unit needs help with.
• See which tasks and items are the highest priority.
• Understand the current status of ongoing initiatives.

 

How you can help

• Share your suggestions and feedback on the Roadmap.
• Help prioritize items by voting on suggestions that you believe are important.
• Follow items that interest you and participate in discussions. Your input is valuable (there's a specific Tag for this called Under Consideration)
• If you see an item that you can help with, reach out to the relevant staff or express your interest directly on the item. Taking ownership of tasks is a great way to demonstrate leadership and contribute significantly to our objectives (There's a specific tag for this as well called Awaiting ownership!)

 

A Key Development for UNITAF's Future

With UNITAF turning 5 this week, the Roadmap is a key development to help us navigate the future. As we face the phasing out of Arma 3 and the introduction of Arma 4 and new platforms as well as the complete replacing of our Tier and Training systems, keeping track of all the ideas, projects, and developments is a key organizational challenge. Having everything in one place, easily discoverable, will be crucial for our success. The Roadmap will also be instrumental in helping to onboard new contributors and keep everyone aligned with our goals.

Your active participation is crucial for the success of this initiative. We encourage everyone to explore the UNITAF Roadmap, contribute ideas, and make use of the Saved Filter Configurations feature.

If you have any questions, feedback or need assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out on Discord.

Thank you for your continued dedication and contributions!

Chairman
