A really nice to have feature rolled out in the recent update. The Project Manager sometimes need to make an announcement to the project members, this feature helps to do so. Under the project dashboard tab, the manager can post an announcement and every other member in the project can see the announcement on the top of "What am i working on right now.. ?" text box.

Project member will see the announcement on top in project dashboard.
