Description

Current Redmine is great in terms of defining and filtering what I want to watch and not-watch. This works great for me as a developer to keep a good focus on things I am involved in.

However, when a project manager wants to keep appraise to events towards other people the workflow is not that much automatic.

Here are few challenges:

  1. Every time an issue is registered - watchers needs to be added for the same.
  2. There is no watch events when Attributes of project changes
    • New members added/removed, attributes of project's change, etc.
    • New document etc.
  3. Entire group cann't be a watcher (as of now) to add all these passive users as watchers in on-click.
  4. Changes in the roadmap which involves comprehensive change rather than per issue updates.

Typically, this results in ambiguity as to why did I got this message but didn't got the other one? (specially from customer or external team point of view)

Solution:

It would be best that project manager can define 'project level watchers' - which added once, all new activities around the project (new issues, Roadmap changes, project attribute changes etc.) should keep coming uniformly.

I think this would be certainly useful when there are large number of teams in different projects and many project's in the organization.

Any feedback on this?

Also, set #1707 as a related feature.

I also wish for a feature in Redmine which allows me to add groups as watchers. Using groups as assignees is working, but adding groups as watchers isn't.
