Enhancements and Features

Program Room 

Updated the Story Attachments link and icon. Once selected, the story edit slide-out now opens with focus set to the Attachments section. 

Program Board

Features on the Program Board will now turn green when all associated stories are accepted. When an accepted feature has planning issues, a red earmark and black checkmark will display. When an accepted feature has no planning issues, only a black checkmark will display.

Features that were split are visually represented on the Program Board with a black border on one side. Original features that were split will have a border on the right, while new features created from a split will have a border on the left.

Detailed Sprint Progress Report 

Added a Filter by Person drop-down to the Detailed Sprint Progress Report. The List of Users contains all users that are currently assigned to the sprint.  

When the filter is applied, only stories that have tasks assigned to the selected user will be listed in the report. Tasks under stories will be filtered by the selected user as well.

Made updates to the Feature by Capability view on the Program Room page:

• Work item data is loaded as it is opened.

Updates to the Dependencies grid page:

Ideation

Introduced functionality that allows external idea groups to require user login before ideas can be seen. This new functionality also allows users to be approved or denied access for each idea group.  To enable this new functionality, click on the "Approve External Users" checkbox in the idea group setup slide out. When a user that does not have access to the group accesses the group for the first time, an email requesting access will be sent to group administrators. 

TFS/Azure DevOps Connector 

Defects will not have the Team field populated by the TFS/Azure DevOps area path. Previously, defects were only able to be mapped to the program level in AgileCraft. 

Defect Fixes by Area
