In this version, new Custom Fields have been added to Agile Hive and some of the predefined Jira Screens. 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 new 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. |
New Features
Filter Team Boards using JQL: You can customize the Team Planning Board by applying a JQL filter now as well, just similar to Roadmap Boards. This filter query will be used to narrow down the displayed issues on the board, helping you focus on the relevant tasks and eliminating any unnecessary information that could be distracting for you and your team.
You have the flexibility to use various JQL parameters (excluding ORDER BY) in combination to filter the board. Simply enter your filter criteria and press 'Enter' to apply the filter. To clear the filter, just erase the input field and press 'Enter' again.Custom Fields for WSJF Prioritization: Agile Hive has introduced dedicated Custom Fields designed for the storage of WSJF-specific information such as Job Size, User Business Value, RROE (Risk Reduction / Opportunity Enablement), and Time Criticality. Using this information, WSJF prioritization value is being calculated for each affected issue in real-time. You can access WSJF-specific details within the 'Agile Hive' issue context, conveniently located in the right-hand sidebar of Jira's issue detail view.
WSJF is available for all issues on ART, Solution Train, and Portfolio level except for issues of type Objective, Risk, and Milestone.Custom Field for Milestones: Agile Hive has introduced another dedicated Custom Field designed for the storage of Milestone Date for issues of type Milestone. Using this information, Agile Hive will be able to display Milestones in Roadmap Boards for projects on ART, Solution Train, and Portfolio level.
This Custom Field will serve as the cornerstone for Reports that will be integrated into Agile Hive later this year.
Improvements
Combined Date Picker for Planned Start and End Date: In order to set the Planned Start Date and Planned End Date for issues at the ART, Solution Train, and Portfolio levels, a combined Date Picker has been introduced. This tool allows you to select a date range instead of having to input two separate dates, enhancing the ease of adding issues to Roadmap Boards. You can access this new Date Picker within Jira's issue detail view by navigating to the 'Agile Hive' issue context in the right-hand sidebar.
Save and Share JQL Board Filters via URL: Filter queries set for Roadmap and Team Boards in JQL are now automatically appended to the current URL in your web browser. This convenient feature allows you to create bookmarks for filtered boards or share them effortlessly with your colleagues. To do this, just copy the URL from your browser's address bar after applying a JQL filter to a board, and you can either share it with others or save it for later use. Agile Hive will instantly take you to the filtered view when you access the link.
November 9, 2023
New Features
Filter Roadmap Boards using JQL: You can customize the Roadmap Board by applying a JQL filter query to ART, Large Solution, and Portfolio projects. This filter query will be used to narrow down the displayed issues on the board, helping you focus on the relevant tasks and eliminating any unnecessary information that could be distracting for you and your colleagues.
You have the flexibility to use various JQL parameters (excluding ORDER BY) in combination to filter the board. Simply enter your filter criteria and press 'Enter' to apply the filter. To clear the filter, just erase the input field and press 'Enter' again.
November 1, 2023
New Features
Edit Roadmap Start Date and End Date on ART, Large Solution, and Portfolio level: From within Jira's issue detail view, you have the capability to directly modify the Start Date and End Date of issues planned on the Roadmap Board for projects at the ART, Large Solution, and Portfolio levels. Conveniently located in the right-hand sidebar, you can access information related to roadmap issues through the 'Agile Hive' issue context.
Issue Link Type Mapping for Risk and Objectives: Agile Hive Administrators now have the capability to establish Jira Issue Type mappings. This allows for linking Risks with the issues addressing those risks and connecting Objectives with the issues that contribute to them.
The Jira Issue Link Types mapped here will be used to identify and display information in Agile Hive Reports, coming to the product later this year.
October 27, 2023
New Features
Custom Fields for PI Risks: Agile Hive has introduced dedicated Custom Fields designed for the storage of Risk-specific details such as Probability, Impact, Residual Probability, and Residual Impact. Using this information, Exposure and Residual Exposure are dynamically computed for each individual Risk in real-time. You can access specific risk-related details within the 'Agile Hive' issue context, conveniently located in the right-hand sidebar of Jira's issue detail view.
These Custom Fields will serve as the cornerstone for Reports that will be integrated into Agile Hive later this year.
Bugfixes
Date information for Iterations in Team Planning Boards off by one day: Fixed a bug where date information for Iterations on Agile Hive's Team Planning Board was inaccurately displayed for certain users, with a discrepancy of one day, influenced by their system's time zone settings.
Saving of Agile Hive Project Settings: Fixed a bug where Agile Hive Project Settings, such as Issuetype Mappings, were not being saved correctly.

In this version, new Custom Fields have been added to Agile Hive and some of the predefined Jira Screens. 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 new 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. |
New Features
Custom Field ‘Assigned PIs’ for Objectives and Risks: We have added a new Custom Field ‘Assigned PIs’ in Agile Hive that allows users to associate issues categorized as Objectives and Risks with one or more Planning Intervals (PIs), up to a maximum of five. This feature assists Teams, Agile Release Trains (ARTs), and Solution Trains in their Objective planning for the upcoming PI, while also aiding in the identification and tracking of potential Risks throughout the process.
This Custom Field will serve as one of the cornerstone for visualizing PI Objectives and Risks within Reports that will be integrated into Agile Hive later this year.
Improvements
Hierarchical links for PI Objectives across Teams, ARTs, and Solution Trains: Hierarchically linking one Objective to another has become simpler than before. To ensure that the PI Objective hierarchy is set up correctly, it's now a requirement that issues categorized as Objectives within each project can only be linked to other issues of the same type using the SAFe® Hierarchy panel.
September 21, 2023
New Features
Skip Large Solution layer when hierarchically linking issues: Within Full SAFe® project hierarchies, it is now possible to establish direct hierarchical links between issues at the ART and Portfolio levels without the requirement of including an issue at the Large Solution layer. This approach offers a more precise representation of the interconnectedness of individual work components within the big picture.
Improvements
More robust Issuetype mapping in project settings: When configuring issuetype mappings for Agile Hive functionality in project settings, you will now be presented with only those issuetypes that correspond to the scheme assigned to the current project. This enhances the reliability of setting up issuetype mappings and ensures that Agile Hive Administrators cannot establish mappings with issuetypes that are not accessible within a particular project.

In this version, new Custom Fields have been added to Agile Hive and some of the predefined Jira Screens. 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, and other schemes. Also, the new Custom Fields should be reviewed and added manually to the respective Screens. |
New Features
Custom Fields for Objectives: Agile Hive has introduced dedicated Custom Fields designed for the storage of Objective-specific details such as Planned Business Value, Actual Business Value, and the status of an Objective being committed or not.
These Custom Fields will serve as the cornerstone for Reports that will be integrated into Agile Hive later this year.Project-specific settings: Agile Hive Administrators now have access to a new navigation entry called ‘Project Settings' for each project. Within this section, there’s all project-specific configurations related to Agile Hive functionality. Currently, the only available settings tab is for Issuetype mapping, but additional tabs will be introduced gradually.
Project-specific issuetype mapping: Agile Hive offers dedicated features tailored to specific issue types like Risks and Objectives. To ensure Agile Hive identifies the appropriate issue type as a basis for delivering these features, Agile Hive Administrators can now configure mappings between Jira issue types and the functionalities provided by the application. You have the option to either employ the predefined issue types that come with Agile Hive for a quick start or configure mappings for your own issue types on a per-project basis (remember to include the necessary Custom Fields in the project's Jira Screens).
Improvements
Exclude Risks, Objectives, and Milestones from Roadmap and Team boards: Issues mapped as Risk, Objective, and Milestone for a project will no longer appear on the Roadmap and Team boards because they are not directly planned within the timeline. Instead, we will introduce a Custom Field for issues of these types with the next app release, allowing them to be assigned to a specific Planning Interval (PI).
For the time being, you can utilize Jira Query Language (JQL) to retrieve a list of all issues assigned to a particular PI. In the future, there will be a dedicated section in the project's Reports for Objectives, Risks, and Milestones, providing a comprehensive overview.
This Custom Field will serve as the cornerstone for Reports that will be integrated into Agile Hive later this year.
Bugfixes
Initial creation of predefined Jira entities: Over the last few weeks, we received a growing number of support requests related to creating Jira entities like Issuetypes, Screens, Statuses, and Workflows that come with Agile Hive. We have been working to gradually improve the initial setup process and again have fixed some more issues that could have negatively impacted your experience, especially when setting up Statuses and Issuetypes.
If you still receive errors during the initial setup, please contact our support via https://seibert.biz/ahc-help, Thank you!

Agile Hive Issue Type Screen Schemes: There are now Issue Type Screen Schemes available for Agile Hive specific Screen Scheme and Issue Type configuration. You can employ these Issue Type Screen Schemes to associate Screen Schemes with Issue Types, ensuring that all necessary Custom Fields for specific Agile Hive functionality are appropriately assigned in your projects.
Agile Hive Issue Link Types for Objectives and Risks: During the initial setup of Agile Hive, Jira Administrators are now responsible for creating Issue Link Types that are specific to Agile Hive. This requirement extends to the existing Agile Hive Dependency link, as well as to newly introduced Issue Link Types for Objects and Risks.
Cross-Team dependency indicator for collapsed team projects: Within Team boards, users can now identify unresolved critical dependencies between their own project and other team projects within the same ART (Agile Release Train) without having to expand those projects on the board. A new indicator has been introduced, which is automatically displayed next to the team where a critical dependency is present. This enhancement empowers users to keep track of and address these dependencies during PI planning.
Improvements
Wording updates for SAFe® 6.0: We have made some more updates to the naming of certain components, such as statuses, workflows, and screens, to further improve alignment with the latest SAFe® 6.0 terminology.
August 11, 2023
Improvements
Consistent positioning of planned issues in Roadmap Boards: Issues scheduled on a Roadmap Board are now saved along with their precise positioning. This leads to a more uniform manner of presenting issues on the Roadmap Board, whether the page is refreshed or revisited later. Additionally, this enhances the consistency of using roadmaps for all users.
Optimized initial duration for issues planned in Roadmap Boards: We have adjusted the initial duration applied to issues that are planned within the Roadmap Boards.
ART level roadmap: 21 days
Large Solution roadmap: 30 days
Portfolio roadmap: 60 days
Bugfixes
‘PI Involvement’ field stability: Fixed a bug with the PI Involvement field, which was showing inaccurate details for issues scheduled across multiple sprints within different PIs.
August 4, 2023
| Info |

Bugfixes
‘PI Involvement’ field errors: Fixed several bugs associated with the 'PI Involvement' Custom Field within issues on Team layer projects, which were causing the field to not display any information. The field should now be fully operational again.
Check for available Status when generating Workflows: Fixed a bug that resulted in the failure of Agile Hive Workflows generation immediately after creating the Statuses. This occurred due to the validation check not properly refreshing the status data received from Jira.
July 27, 2023
Improvements
Update parent relationship in Team boards without reload: Agile Hive now updates the board without requiring a full reload after changing an issue's parent using the edit modal dialogue on a Team board.
Automatically add app information to new helpdesk inquiries: Upon creating a new helpdesk inquiry from the 'Help' menu in Agile Hive, certain technical information is now automatically included in the inquiry. This information comprises the short hash, commit date, and version tag.
It's important to note that no personal data and no issue data is shared through this process.
Bugfixes
Server error when dragging issues in Team boards: Fixed a rare bug that caused a server error when dragging an issue card on a Team board for an extended period of time.
Visibility of ‘Help’ button in light mode: Fixed a display problem with the 'Help' button in light theme, which arose after implementing support for the dark theme.
Planned duration for issues in Roadmap boards: Fixed a bug where issues added to the Roadmap board initially had a duration of 8 days instead of 7, causing them to deviate from the drag & drop placeholder indication.
Sidebar behavior in Team board empty state: Fixed a bug on Team boards where the 'Unplanned Issues' sidebar failed to display relevant issue information when no PI had been created for that team. The sidebar is now completely disabled as long as there is no PI available for a team to make users aware that planning is only feasible after a PI has been created on the Large Solution or ART level.
July 20, 2023
Improvements
Open Jira project: With this update, accessing Jira projects from Agile Hive has become more convenient than ever. A new shortcut icon has been introduced right next to the project name in the project navigation. Now, with just a single click on the icon, you can instantly open your project in Jira. This enhancement allows you to swiftly access the backlog, Scrum board, and Jira reports, streamlining your workflow and saving you valuable time.

Dark Mode support: As part of our continuous efforts to improve dark mode compatibility in Agile Hive, we have made significant enhancements. We achieved this by carefully exchanging and improving colors for both the dark and light themes. These updates ensure a more seamless and visually pleasing experience for users who prefer using dark mode while working in Agile Hive.
Access to changelog: We have introduced a new addition to the "Help" dropdown, allowing users to conveniently access this changelog. Now, you can easily find and refer to the changelog whenever needed, making it simpler to stay updated on the latest changes and improvements.
Bugfixes
Server error when removing issues from Team board: Fixed a bug that occurred when attempting to remove an issue, which had already been included in a completed sprint, from a Team board. With this fix, the issue removal process now functions smoothly, ensuring a more seamless experience while managing your Team board and sprint-related tasks.
July 13, 2023
New Features
Display cross-team dependencies within your team’s ART: In PI Planning, it is important to consider dependencies not only within your own team but also with other teams that are working on the same features within the ART. You have the ability to view other teams' planning progress directly on the Team board, which allows you to identify critical dependencies and make adjustments to your team's planning accordingly. The board represents each team with its own dedicated swimlane, and all teams, except the one that has ownership of the board, are in read-only mode
Dark Mode support: With this update, we have introduced initial support for Jira's new Dark Mode feature (You can change the Jira theme in the user menu located at the top right corner of the screen). Please note that while we continue to enhance dark mode compatibility in upcoming versions, certain interface elements may not fully adapt to the dark theme yet. If you encounter any issues related to dark mode, please create a bug report in our helpdesk at https://seibert.biz/ahc-help. Your feedback is greatly appreciated - Thank you!
Bugfixes

This addition allows users to concentrate on specific topics during planning. Clicking on the lozenge opens up the parent issue in a new browser tab.
Improvements
Empty state harmonization: The appearance of the empty state in the 'Groups' settings of Agile Hive Jira Administration has been updated to align with the empty states found elsewhere in the application.
SAFe® 6.0 wording updates: We have made updates to the naming of certain components, such as statuses, workflows, and screens, to ensure alignment with the latest SAFe® 6.0 terminology.
June 16, 2023
Bugfixes
Create Workflows shipped with Agile Hive: Fixed a bug where Jira Admins encountered difficulties when attempting to create workflows shipped with Agile Hive, particularly when certain default statuses in Jira (such as "ToDo") were absent from the system. Agile Hive now includes a check for Jira's default statuses and automatically sets them up if they are not already present.
June 07, 2023
Bugfixes
Assign unplanned issue to ART parent by adding it to the Team Board: Fixed a bug that caused unplanned issues added to the board through drag and drop to not be properly assigned to their corresponding ART parent.
Reassign parent issues via drag and drop in Team Boards: Fixed a bug that hindered the reassignment of issues to another ART parent issue through drag and drop functionality in Team Boards.

April 14, 2023
New Features
Delete PIs: Agile Hive Administrators can now delete selected PIs via PI & Iteration Management for Large Solution and ART projects. When deleting a PI it is possible to either keep Jira sprints on the Team level linked to the respective PI or also delete them.
Bugfixes
Required permissions for creating Iterations for Large Solution PIs on ART level: Fixed a bug where users with the ‘Manage PIs and Iterations’ permission were unable to create Iterations for a Solution Train PI unless they also had the same permission at the Solution Train level. This primarily impacted RTEs, as they are typically responsible for a single ART within a Solution Train.
February 7, 2025
New Features
New Global Permission ‘View all Projects in Agile Hive Project Hierarchy’: This update introduces a new global permission that enables users to view the names and keys of all projects added to the ‘My Organization’ view in Agile Hive, even if they lack the ‘Browse projects’ permission for those projects.

January 30, 2025
Improvements
Updating ‘Current day’ data in Burnup Charts: Burnup Charts in ART and Team Reports now load and update ‘Current day’ data asynchronously, significantly improving the widget's loading time. Since current-day data is always calculated in real-time, this change ensures faster processing without delays.
Bugfixes
Access ART views without ‘Browse projects' permission on Solution level: Fixed a bug that prevented users from accessing reports and boards in an ART project if they lacked the ‘Browse Projects’ permission for the ART’s parent project at the Large Solution level. The issue stemmed from PI information being requested from the Large Solution project, which the user was not authorized to read.
‘Unable to load data’ error in Milestone Report widget: Fixed a bug where the ‘Milestones’ widget in Reports displayed an error instead of the ‘+’ button for adding a new Milestone.
Error when displaying ART and Team project boards: Fixed a bug that caused error code 500 when displaying the ART Roadmap, ART Planning Board, Team Planning Board, and PI & Iteration Management at the Large Solution and ART levels. Additionally, we have implemented enhanced logging to further investigate potential causes of this issue, ensuring a more comprehensive fix that covers possible edge cases.

This Agile Hive release restores the version that was available in the Atlassian Marketplace before the rollback on , which was necessitated by an issue in the underlying Jira Cloud infrastructure.
All features from the versions originally released on January 13, 2025, and January 17, 2025, are once again available to all customers with this release.
If you’re still experiencing issues with Agile Hive in your Jira Cloud site as well, please refer to our service desk at https://seibert.biz/ahc-help. Thank you!

As of , this version was reverted due to an issue in the underlying Jira Cloud infrastructure, which rendered Agile Hive inaccessible and caused errors on some customer sites. As a result, Agile Hive was rolled back to the version released on December 19, 2024, retaining only the features available up to that date. Now that the root cause of the issue has been resolved, all features from the versions originally released on January 13, 2025, and January 17, 2025, are once again available to all customers with the release of January 29, 2025. |
New Features
Support for changing organization structure with carrying over PIs: Changes in ‘My Organization’ now respect and transfer existing PIs where applicable.
When moving an ART to a Large Solution, the ART retains its completed and current PIs, provided the current PI does not extend beyond any active PI of the Large Solution. The ART also becomes part of the Solution's planned PIs.
If the ART is detached from a Large Solution, it will carry over its completed PIs from when it was part of the Solution, ensuring that relevant data in the reports is preserved.New Custom Project Permissions: This version introduces new project permissions for more granular control over access and editing of Agile Hive's Project Settings. The new permissions, ‘Administer Agile Hive Projects’ and ‘Manage Agile Hive Project Members’, allow specific users to manage these aspects. Additionally, the default Jira permission ‘Administer Project’ continues to provide access to most project settings within Agile Hive (refer to Permissions for a more comprehensive overview).
‘Starred' Section in the Sidebar: Starred Jira projects within your company's organization in Agile Hive are now displayed in a dedicated section of the navigation sidebar, making it easier to quickly access the projects you work with most often.
Improvements
Criticality filter for the Dependency Overview widget: The ‘Dependencies’ widget now comes with a filter to display dependencies based on criticality. Filtering works just like in Agile Hive Team Planning and Roadmap Boards.
Introduce a more helpful error message for restricted Parent projects: If you lack access to a parent project (e.g., the superior ART), most data cannot be meaningfully displayed. Instead of causing a crash and returning an error 500, the system now suggests requesting access to the direct parent project when necessary.
Bugfixes
Creating Iterations and Sprints with only having the ‘Manage PIs and Iterations’ permission on ART/LS levels: The newly introduced custom permission, ‘Manage PIs and Iterations’ (see https://agilehive.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CLOUD/pages/1032454145/Changelog+archive+2024#December-9%2C-2024%3A-%E2%80%98Manage-PIs-and-Iterations%E2%80%99-permission-major-Release), previously caused a bug when users had only this custom permission at the ART and LS layers, along with the ‘Manage Sprints’ permission for all underlying Team projects. Due to a misconfiguration, the mapping between Iterations and Sprints could not be saved. This release fixes the issue, ensuring that users with these permissions can now create PIs and Iterations as intended.

New Features
‘Improved Planning’ mode in Team Planning Boards: To prepare for the revamped experience of planning and displaying ART Feature swimlanes on Team Boards, some functionality is now available in early access. Users can enable this preview on any Team Board by using the toggle switch located in the top toolbar.Status colour Purple title beta
When the 'Improved Planning' mode is activated, it severs the link between the Team Planning Board and the ART-level Roadmap. Consequently, only those ART Feature swimlanes that are tagged with specific values for the 'Assigned Teams' and 'Assigned PIs' Custom Fields will be displayed on the Team Planning Board.
Learn more on the upcoming changes and how to prepare here: Changes to planning of ART Features for Teams (expected early 2025).Dynamically hide Agile Hive-specific interface elements in Jira views: In projects that are not set up in ‘My Organization’ within Agile Hive, interface elements of the app will no longer appear in Jira project views. This means the ‘View in Agile Hive’ navigation item, the ‘SAFe® Hierarchy’ option in an issue's ‘Apps’ menu, and the ‘Agile Hive’ context panel on the right-hand sidebar in Jira issue views will not be displayed. There will be no changes to projects that are included in ‘My Organization’.
Improvements
Creating new issues by pressing ‘C' in Agile Hive views reflects current project context: When you press the ‘C’ button in any Agile Hive view, now the 'Create Issue' modal automatically fills in with the project context you have been working in. Additionally, the issue type you last created is preselected to streamline the process of creating new issues and align better with the standard Jira experience.
Bugfixes
Long Team names in Team Boards did not wrap correctly: Fixed a bug where long Team names did not wrap properly in swimlanes on Team Planning Boards, leading to overlapping text labels or unintended line breaks.
Removing parent issues that no longer belong to the hierarchy failed in Issue List view: Fixed a bug that prevented users from removing or editing the parent information of issues when the existing parent was no longer included in the project hierarchy defined in 'My Organization'.
Team-level issues linked with deleted ART Feature not displayed in Team Planning Boards: Fixed a bug where Team-level issues linked to a deleted Feature at the ART level were not displayed on Team Planning Boards, despite being planned for the respective PI. These Team issues will now appear in the ‘Independent’ swimlane of the Team Planning Board.
Broken link to manage quick filters in Team Boards & Roadmap Boards: Fixed a bug that blocked users from accessing the quick filter settings from Team Planning Boards and Roadmap Boards.
