Enhancements and Features
Program Increment Progress enhancements
We’ve expanded our burndown charts on the Program Increment Progress report to include features that belong to multiple programs to present a more comprehensive view of work. We also renamed the Scope trend to Ideal Burn on the Program Increment Progress burndown charts, and added helpful tooltips next to the Program Increment Burnup and Burndown (by Feature) charts titles to understand how the charts are calculated.
Managing dependencies & external entities
To improve the performance of the dependency slideout and the external entity modal, we moved the creation and management of external entities to the More Actions menu on the Dependencies grid. In addition, we added a search field to the modal to improve usability.
The Maximum hours per day fields under Administration > Workday > Maximum Hours > Maximum Hours now allow values of up to 100 hours. Additionally, the Maximum hours per week fields allow values of up to 1000 hours. These changes support using a percentage of time (0 to 100%) against tasks vs. number of hours in a day.
API 2.0
For this release, we made two updates to the API 2.0:
-
Releases (program increments) can be created using the POST method. This does not yet include the creation of sync sprints.
-
To improve API 2.0 response time and reduce server resource utilization, we’re introducing a new API 2.0 token. We ask that all API users start using this token. The API 1.0 token will work with API 2.0 until the 10.83 release. After this time, using an API 1.0 token will result in an authorization error.
