10.8: New Customer Love Enhancements

Strategy Tree vs. Work Tree

The Strategy Tree and Work Tree are built in a similar way to create a consistent experience:

• Themes tie to a level of the strategy pyramid in AgileCraft. The Work Tree – Strategy view starts at this level to expand down into Themes, Epics, etc.
• The selected strategy that ties to Themes (selected in Administration) should dynamically update in the Work Tree – Strategy view if it is changed in Administration.
• Terminology is dynamic as well.

 

Release Vehicle Usage

When selecting a release vehicle on a feature, you now have the ability to select any release vehicle regardless of PI.

• When selecting a Release Vehicle on a feature, the Release Vehicle list is not filtered by the PI that the feature is assigned to OR the PI selected in the context config.
• Only Release Vehicles that are In Progress, Null, or In Planning appear in the drop-down list.

 

 

Backlog: View Unassigned Backlog for Teams

The ability to view the Unassigned Backlog for my teams so my Kanban users can utilize the Kanban view on the backlog.

• After selecting a team in the Story Backlog, you can select sprints. When you select sprints, you can select the Unassigned Backlog from the drop-down list.
• When you select the Unassigned Backlog, a bucket appears at the bottom of your selected sprints rendering all work assigned to the team that is not assigned to a sprint.
• If you have the Unassigned Backlog selected in list format, you can still click the Unassigned Backlog button to slide out the unassigned backlog to the right. If you do, the Unassigned Backlog in the list view disappears. It does not reappear when you close the slide-out.
• Backlog Bucket has the Move to position option in a tooltip.
