Improvements

  • Highlight completed Sprints in Team Planning Boards: To align with Jira, Agile Hive only permits changes in Team Planning Boards for Iterations linked to a Jira Sprint that hasn't been marked as completed. To help users easily identify Iterations connected to completed Sprints, Agile Hive now displays these Iterations in a different color (grey instead of purple) on the Team Planning Board.

  • Provide information on unplanned Team-level issues for Features in ART Planning Board: When reviewing the estimated delivery timeline of ART-level Features for a PI, it can be challenging to identify if any work within a Feature is still unplanned by the Teams. Agile Hive now simplifies this by highlighting any unplanned Team-level issues hierarchically linked with ART Features on the Board, which could potentially delay the Feature's delivery. To view a list of all unplanned Team-level issues linked to a Feature, simply click the warning icon ((warning)) on the Feature’s issue card in the ART Planning Board.

Bugfixes

  • Incorrect display of PIs containing no Iterations: Fixed a bug that caused PIs without any Iterations to display incorrectly in the Team Planning Board view.

  • Hide flags on loading errors within issue contexts and panels: Fixed a bug that caused error flags to appear in multiple Jira views whenever specific Agile Hive UI elements were present. This issue mainly affected projects not added to Agile Hive, as they lacked relevant data to display.

  • Sprint Mapping settings not working for Team-level projects that include Kanban boards: Fixed a bug where Sprint Mapping settings were not functioning correctly for team-level projects with Kanban boards. The bug caused Sprint Mapping to fail in certain projects that included at least one configured Kanban board.

  • Display correct values for ‘PI Involvement’ column in Issue List: Fixed a bug where the 'PI Involvement' column in the Issue List appeared empty, despite the corresponding Custom Field being set for the Jira issue in Agile Hive.

...

  • ART Planning Board: Team level issues are being displayed with non-dependency links to the ART parent: An issue was fixed, where Team level issues were displayed on the ART Planning Board, even though the issues were not linked with another issue type, than the configured Agile Hive Dependency Link Type.

Bugfixes

  • Agile Hive Screen Schemes cannot be created automatically during initial setup: Fixed a bug that prevented Jira administrators from creating the Screen Schemes provided by Agile Hive during initial setup, despite all required Screens being successfully created before.

  • ART-level PI Objectives cannot be displayed by users with insufficient Team-level permissions: Fixed a bug that prevented users from displaying ART-level PI Objectives in Reports if they lacked sufficient permissions for all Team-level projects within the respective ART.

...

  • Replace custom Agile Hive Administrator management with global Jira permissions: Replaces the current Agile Hive Administrator Groups with global Jira permissions. This is the first step towards a more granular permission management. Adding Admin-Groups in the Agile Hive settings is now disabled, and Admin-Group settings are set to read-only with a clear notice. The Agile Hive Administrator permission allows users to manage key aspects of Agile Hive, including editing the organizational structure, creating Program Increments (PIs), and configuring project-level settings.

Bugfixes

  • Fixes an error in Reports when selecting a planned PI without iterations: Fixed a bug that caused a 500 error when attempting to access the Agile Hive Report for a PI without any Iterations.

  • Issue List: Cannot set / edit parent via inline edit: Fixes an issue where setting or editing an issue's parent via inline editing did not save the selection. The selected parent issue is now correctly saved when using inline editing in the issue list.

...

  • Quick Filter for ART Parents in Team Planning Board: A new quick filter has been added to the Team Planning Boards, allowing users to filter the board by a single ART-level parent issue and all of its child issues. The filter applies across all teams within the ART in this view simultaneously.

August 27, 2024

Bugfixes

  • Exclude Sub-tasks and other unsupported issue types in ART Planning Board: Fixed a bug in certain Agile Hive setups where Team-level issues were mistakenly interpreted as ART-level Features and appeared in the ART Planning Board. This occurred because Sub-tasks were not excluded in the default filters of the ART Planning Board, a problem that has now been corrected.

  • ART PI Overview Report widget falsely displayed issues in ‘Issues with restricted parents’ section: Fixed a bug that caused the ‘ART PI Overview’ widget in ART-level Reports to incorrectly display issues under the ‘Issues with restricted parents’ section, even though they had no restrictions.

Bugfixes

  • Explicitly load issues with all required fields: Fixed a bug that occasionally occurred when required Jira standard fields were renamed or migrated from Server/DC with different naming conventions, causing the Agile Hive Burnup charts to fail in displaying 'Burned SP' in the Reports. Agile Hive will now explicitly load the complete field configuration for any issue, ensuring all necessary data is available to accurately visualize Burnup chart information.

August 14, 2024

Improvements

  • Optimized calculation of Velocity in Team and ART-level Reports: The Velocity Report widget has been enhanced to more effectively meet users' needs regarding completed, current, and future PIs. Additionally, the improved calculation method should lead to fewer warnings and errors in the Velocity Report widget.

Bugfixes

  • Issue type mappings in Agile Hive project settings cannot be emptied: Fixed a bug that previously prevented Agile Hive Administrators from clearing issue type mappings for individual features within the project settings. Administrators can now easily clear the issue type mapping for any Agile Hive features that are not in use.

  • Restricted project displayed in Team Planning Boards: Fixed a bug where Team-level projects were visible on Team Planning Boards to users without the 'Browse project' permission for those projects. Now, projects for which users lack sufficient permissions are properly anonymized.

  • Toolbar alignment and default sorting of Issue List: Fixed a bug where the JQL filter in the redesigned Issue List view was incorrectly aligned to the right instead of the left. Additionally, we updated the default sorting of the Issue List view to 'ORDER BY issuekey DESC'.

...

  • Issue List sorting and filtering: We have upgraded the technical foundation of Agile Hive’s Issue List view and are pleased to announce that sorting and filtering (via JQL) are now available for projects at any SAFe® layer.

Bugfixes

  • Duplicate ‘Issues without parent’ row in ART PI Overview Report widget: Fixed a bug that caused a duplicate 'Issues without parent' row in the ART PI Overview Report widget for users lacking 'Browse project' permissions for some of the Team projects within the respective ART. Now, Agile Hive displays a dedicated 'Issues with restricted parent' row in these cases.

  • Duplicate Sprints after recreating missing Jira Sprints via Iteration Overview Team Report: Fixed a bug that caused duplicate Sprints to be created via the Iteration Overview Team Report widget if a Sprint was missing from one of the selected PI’s Iterations. The Report widget now updates after a Sprint is created, preventing the creation of duplicates.

  • Incorrect data in ‘SP burned’ Report widget for Iterations with missing Jira Sprint mapping: Fixed a bug affecting Team-level Reports when one or more PI Iterations were not mapped to a Jira Sprint. The 'SP burned' widget in the Team Report incorrectly displayed a non-zero value for burned Story Points despite no Sprint being available.

August 2, 2024

Improvements
