Enhancements and Features

Manage user skills

We've removed the restriction in Jira Align that required a user to manage their own listed skills directly. Now, you can manage other users' skills from the Skills Inventory page.

First, ensure you have the Skills Inventory > Manage Skills permission toggle enabled for your system role:

Next, navigate to Skills Inventory, where you can click on any user card. Scroll to the bottom of the resulting profile window, and click + Add Skill. A searchable dropdown displays, where you can select existing skills to apply to the user:

To create new skill groups and skills, use the Edit Skills List button in the upper-right corner of the Skills Inventory page.

Status Reports performance improvements

We optimized the SQL behind the Status Reports to reduce page load time by roughly 50%. Users loading exceedingly large amounts of data (e.g. 1000+ epics in a single portfolio) may still experience long page load times. We’re currently investigating UI optimizations to better support these data sets.
