Release Notes for 10.81

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 workWe 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.

Removal of Project Hours and Cycle Time
The Project Hours and Cycle Time values were removed as selectable options in the Track By field for teams, as they don't have any links to financial reporting and are not reflected in other locations in Jira Align. All teams where these options were set now have Track By field set to Points automatically. New teams will have only Hours and Points as selectable Track By options.
Maximum Hours Field validations

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.
