End of Support for Internet Explorer 11

To allow us to continue to take advantage of modern web standards to deliver improved functionality and the best possible user experience across all of our products, we have decided to end support for Internet Explorer 11 (IE11). End of support means we will not fix bugs that are specific to IE11, and will begin to introduce features that aren't compatible with this browser.

For cloud versions of Jira Align, support will end on September 26, 2020. For the on-premise version of Jira Align, support will end on September 30, 2020.

In preparation for the end of support dates, we recommend switching to one of our supported browsers, such as Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, or Safari.

Please see our Community article for more information or to ask any questions.

Enhancements and Features

Shareable views for grids

Yep, you heard that right! Now you can filter a grid view and share it with your team. By either copying the URL or using the new Share button in the upper-right corner of a work item grid, you can share your view with others, and if they’d like to, they can even save the filter as their own to use it again later.

Configuration bar filtering by product and organization structure on work item grids

The Stories, Features, and Epics pages now respect filtering by product and organization structures in the Configuration bar.

If the grid is filtered by organization structure, all work items display where the owner/assignee user is part of the selected structure or any level below.

If the grid is filtered by product:

• On the Features page, the grid displays features that are directly assigned to the selected product, or assigned to products at lower levels of the selected product’s product hierarchy.
• On the Stories page, the grid displays stories whose parent features are directly assigned to the selected product, or assigned to products at lower levels of the selected product’s product hierarchy.
• On the Epics page, the grid displays epics whose child features are directly assigned to the selected product, or assigned to products at lower levels of the selected product’s product hierarchy.

Performance: Roadmaps dropdown replacements

To load your roadmap filters more quickly, we updated how you apply filters when filtering by theme, epic, capabilities, features, users, products, organizations, and tags. After selecting one of these filters, enter text in a search field to see a list of the top 20 most relevant items. We also applied these changes to the list of customers in the Briefing dropdown menu.

Performance: Work item list on lean use cases

For better user experience with a long list in work item-based dropdowns, we changed the dropdown selection method to loading list by portions for the lists of epics, capabilities, and features on the lean use case slide-out.

API 2.0: Create acceptance criteria on stories

You can now create acceptance criteria using the POST method on stories. Updates and acceptance criteria on other work items will be supported in future releases. When creating acceptance criteria on a story, the story’s last modified date are updated and the changes are added to the audit log.

API 2.0: Create acceptance criteria on capabilities

You can now update capabilities using the PATCH and PUT methods.

API 2.0: Create key results on objectives

You can now create key results using the POST method on objectives. Updates will be supported in a future release.

Usability improvements to the Azure DevOps connector logs

We added new columns to the Azure DevOps connector logs to improve the ability to find and address sync issues. These include Level (to differentiate between errors impeding a work item sync and warnings that may impact a specific field), Item Type, Jira Align IDs, and Azure DevOps IDs. In addition, searching and filtering were enhanced on all applicable columns.

Average Velocity and Override Velocity fields on sprints

We updated the following fields on the Sprint Details panel:

• Average Velocity: We changed this field to a read-only field. It displays the average velocity over the last five completed sprints.
• Override Velocity: A new field! If you expect a team’s velocity in an individual sprint will be much higher or lower than average, use this field to reflect the expected velocity for planning purposes. This number will display as the Average Velocity on the Backlog and other pages until the sprint is completed. Using this field does not affect the information displayed in the Average Velocity field.
  

Work in Process Lean Metrics supports capabilities

The Work in Process Lean Metric charts now provide information on capabilities.
Note that there are a series of calculation defects currently impacting these charts. We plan to fix these in the 10.76 release.
