Program settings

To manage program settings:

1. If you’re using the new navigation, select the Settings gear in the top navigation bar. If you’re using the old navigation, select Administration in the left Nav menu.
2. On the left side of the page, select Platform in the Settings section.
3. Select the Program tab.

In Jira Align, you can configure the following program settings:

• Hide Feature Sorting: Controls visibility of the feature sort in the program backlog. The epic sort and stand-alone feature sort is always available. Depending on your process, you may or may not want to sort features within the epics.
• Use Global F/E Sorting: Controls visibility of the All Epics and Features sort in the program backlog for a PI. Most organizations sort backlogs at the program level.
• Use Global Stories Sorting: Controls visibility of the All Stories sort in the program backlog for a PI. Most organizations sort backlogs at the program level.
• Enable Conversations: Turns on or turns off the collaboration option in the application. Collaboration is highly encouraged in agile environments; however, some organizations want to keep collaboration in email or other applications.
• HotFix Bandwidth: Controls the desired bandwidth for hotfixes, fast tracks, and service packs. The concept is to limit the work in process to this threshold.
