Connect ProjectManager to Unblockd.
- In ProjectManagerYour projects and the status of each item
- In UnblockdTasks under the right deliverable, with stuck work flagged for your team
- On your sponsor’s pageProgress on each deliverable, with its proof
What it reads
Link the ProjectManager projects each Unblockd project needs. You pick which items to bring in, up to 50 at a time, and each one becomes a task under a deliverable with a link back to ProjectManager.
In ProjectManager
Tasks; a Blocked or On hold column flags a blocker.
How it stays current
Unblockd reads your linked projects again when someone opens a project’s Sources tab and the last read is more than 10 minutes old, whenever you press Sync now, and once a day.
How you connect
An admin pastes the api key from ProjectManager once for the whole workspace. Unblockd checks it with ProjectManager before saving anything. Unblockd reads your work in ProjectManager and leaves it as it is. The key is encrypted with AES-256-GCM before it’s stored.
What your sponsor sees
Your sponsor sees each deliverable’s progress. The tasks you bring in, and any blocker they flag, stay with your team until someone chooses to share them.
How teams use it
What happens to ProjectManager work once it’s connected, from the first link to your sponsor’s page.
- Plan in ProjectManager, report from UnblockdLink the ProjectManager project for a project and bring its items in under the deliverables they serve, up to 50 at a time. Each task keeps a link back to ProjectManager, and its status follows ProjectManager from then on.
- Stuck work becomes an askIn ProjectManager, a Blocked or On hold column flags a blocker. Unblockd opens it for your team only and alerts your team’s chat channels if you’ve connected any. Someone confirms it and turns it into an ask for the sponsor: a decision with options, or a request for help.
- Acceptance stays with your teamA task marked done in ProjectManager finishes here too, unless it still needs a sign-off. The deliverable itself is accepted only once its evidence is attached, and your sponsor is emailed only when a person on your team accepts it.
- New items arrive on their own, if you wantAn admin can turn on automatic import, so new open items in a linked project arrive as tasks under the deliverable chosen for it, up to 25 per sync.
