We added a new dashboard with our latest release of Lighthouse. The dashboards, 'Project Activities', are now available at both the Account and Project Level.
The 'Project Activities Dashboards' identify objects (like Requirements, Test Cases, Defects, Issues, or Change Requests), who changed them, and when they were changed. As a Product Manager, I find it very useful to log into our account and see which requirements, defects, issues and change requests are being changed.
Here is a snapshot of the activity from early this morning (like 6 AM EST). It shows that one requirement changed today, 96 'objects' changed yesterday, 376 changed between 2 and 7 days ago, etc. As I expand each one, I can get the details on what exactly changed, as well as links to the actual objects.
If you signed up for your Lighthouse Account this week, then the dashboards are automatically added to your view.
If you signed up for your Lighthouse Account before this Monday, then you have to enable your dashboard. It's simple:
1. Select Preferences > Dashboards
2. Select your dashboard
3. Select Edit Dashboard
4. Select the Recent Activities dashboard
Of course, if you don't have a Lighthouse Account (which is completely crazy), then you can sign up for your free one here!

New Features at EclipseWorld
Tomorrow we are exhibiting at EclipseWorld in Reston, VA, where we will be showcasing many features in our upcoming release. Stop by and learn how you can easily (and automatically) create test cases from requirements, convert issues to defects, and so much more.
Our next release, named La Jolla, is something we are most excited about and our beta sites have had fantastic things to say about it. Many of the enhancements come directly from our community, and we are always looking for more feedback. Share your thoughts in our blog or forum.
We'll also be talking about our partner products from Codign Software. They have some Eclipse plugins that generate JUnit tests, determine coverage and measure how testable your code is. Interesting stuff!
