Bugfixes
Milestones slightly misaligned in Roadmap Boards: Fixed a bug with the visualization of Milestone icons in Agile Hive Roadmap Boards, ensuring they now appear accurately on their planned dates.
Error when adding or removing child issues in SAFe® Hierarchy issue panel: Fixed a bug that caused an error when attempting to remove the only child issue of an ART-level Feature. Additionally, this error prevented the addition of new child issues afterward.
...

Improvements
Placeholder elements in ‘My Organization’ in case of insufficient user project permission: The ‘My Organization’ view in Agile Hive now shows a placeholder element for projects where the current user lacks sufficient Jira permissions (e.g., missing ‘Browse projects’ permission). This helps identify potential misconfigurations and allows Jira and project administrators to address the issue.
...
Team-level Report widgets utilized different data points: Fixed a bug where Team-level Report widgets used different data points for calculating their respective metrics. This issue could have caused inconsistent values for the same metric across various widgets, which should now be resolved.
Incorrect Forecast in Burnup Charts when no historical velocity data is available: Fixed a bug in Burnup Charts that caused an incorrect forecast when no historical velocity data was available. Burnup Charts now use the velocity data from the current PI when no historical velocity data is available.

Improvements

By factoring in the PI plans of all teams contributing to an ART, Agile Hive now offers completion date estimates. During PI execution, monitor the ART Planning Board to receive updates on Features that may be delayed, potentially impacting important Milestones. Additionally, Agile Hive provides information on the Owning Team for each Feature, enabling you to easily address any impediments along the way.
For more information, please refer to our knowledge base article at ART Planning Board.
Improvements
ART PI Overview Report widget includes Team issues without parent: ART-level Report widget ART PI Overview now also considers Team-level issues that are not hierarchically linked to an ART Feature.

...
‘PI Involvement’ Custom Field for ART-level issues: The Agile Hive Custom Field ‘PI Involvement’ has been extended to include ART-level issues, in addition to its existing availability for Team-level issues. This update assists the Product Management of an ART by providing visibility into when Teams are working on a Feature and which PIs have Stories planned for ART-level issues. Moreover, the ‘PI Involvement’ field for ART-level issues integrates the ART Roadmap plan, offering a consolidated view of both the roadmap plan and the actual PI planning of the involved Teams.
Adding this functionality required adding new capabilities to the app’s scope resulting in this version being considered a major release (13.0.0) by Atlassian. Please refer to Upgrading and Versioning for more information on versioning of Cloud apps.
Improvements

New ‘Team Burnup’ Report Widget: Reports for projects at the Team level now feature a new widget that provides a graphical representation of a Team's PI progress compared to the plan.

For more information on this widget please also see https://agilehive.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CLOUD/pages/607617051/Team+Reports#Burnup-Chart.
Please note that the Burnup Chart data is not retrospectively calculated for completed PIs and days already passed in the current PI as of today. This may cause the lines in the chart to jump from 0 to their current values for PIs that are already in progress.
Improvements
Retain selected PI when switching between Agile Hive views: When switching between views in Agile Hive, the selected program increment (PI) is now retained as a URL parameter. This enhancement prevents users from having to repeatedly re-select the PI for every view and enables seamless navigation within Agile Hive. Moreover, it facilitates sharing direct links to specific views in Agile Hive, automatically redirecting recipients to the correct PI.
Date Range Picker for creating new PIs and Iterations: Setting up new PIs and Iterations has become easier than ever! Agile Hive Administrators now have the convenience of using a Date Range Picker to select PI / Iteration Start and End Dates, eliminating the need to manually select each date with an individual date picker.
...
Quick filters for Unplanned Issues sidebar in Team and Roadmap Boards: Unplanned Issues in Roadmap and Team Boards can now be filtered to only display what's truly important, allowing for better focus. Agile Hive automatically incorporates the quick filters configured for the primary Jira board in that project (currently, this is the board with the lowest board ID). Users can apply multiple quick filters simultaneously and also utilize the search bar to conveniently locate specific issues.
Adding this functionality required adding new capabilities to the app’s scope resulting in this version being considered a major release (12.0.0) by Atlassian. Please refer to Upgrading and Versioning for more information on versioning of Cloud apps.
Improvements

Improvements
Locally calculated Risk Exposure and WSJF Value in Reports: To promptly show accurate Risk Exposure and WSJF values, Agile Hive has implemented a feature where these values are computed locally in your browser when you access a Reports page. Particularly, after generating new issues involving Risk Exposure or WSJF, the computation of these fields is only triggered once the issue has been fully displayed by at least one user in the Jira Issue View.
This is due to a current limitation of Atlassian Forge development platform. More information can be found here: Technical Limitations. We’re closely monitoring the development of Forge platform and intend to further improve this functionality in the future.
...
Conveniently create Objective and Risks from the Reports page: Objective and Risk widgets in the Reports page now provide a convenient way to directly add new issues of the correspondent type.

In this version, an existing Custom Field has been changed. It is recommended that a Jira Administrator reviews the Agile Hive components in Jira’s app administration and recreates any missing statuses, workflows, screens, issue link types, Custom Fields, and other schemes. Also, the Custom Fields should be reviewed and added manually to the respective Screens to make sure all Agile Hive functionality is available to the users of your site. You can find an overview of the minimum required configuration for projects on each SAFe® level here: https://agilehive.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CLOUD/pages/512164556/Configure+Jira+Projects+For+Use+With+Agile+Hive#Minimum-Required-Project-Configuration. |

For example, after conducting a JQL search for certain Features within an ART level project, you can now sort by WSJF Value in the Jira Issue Navigator. Additionally, the field will now show a maximum of two decimal digits to enhance readability.
