Enhancements and Features

These features for 10.102 were released to environments on the continuous release track on November 5, 2021, in version 10.102.0. The features will then be released to environments on the bundled release track on November 19, 2021, in version 10.102.2.

Updates to the Jira Align Release Calendar

To account for the upcoming winter holidays, the following changes have been made to our Release Calendar:

• Version 10.102.3, originally scheduled for November 26, 2021, will not be released.
  • Version 10.103.0 will be the next release, occurring on December 3, 2021. 
• Version 10.103.2 will be released to On-Premise environments early, on December 17, 2021.
• Version 10.103.3, originally scheduled for December 24, 2021, will not be released. 
• Version 10.104.0 will be released on January 7, 2022.
  • No release will occur on December 31, 2021.

Performance improvements: Side navigation menu

We've made significant performance improvements to the main navigation menu that displays on the left side of Jira Align. Instead of reloading data every time the navigation menu is accessed, the menu is now cached the first time you use it after logging in. This will result in much faster rendering and loading times. 

We will monitor the impact of this change after release to ensure response times have improved, and continue to evaluate further performance enhancements to the platform.

Solution Teams are now Process Flow Teams

To better differentiate between solutions and teams that support a process flow, the existing team type, Solution Team, has been renamed as Process Flow Team. This change has no impact on permissions or functionality in Jira Align.

System Role changes now tracked in logs

To help admins track changes made to permissions within system roles, we've added entries to the Activity Log page located at Administration > Logs > Changes. There, you can find permissions that have been added or removed from a specific role, the user who performed the change, and the time the change was made.

Note: These logs do not currently track the creation or deletion of a system role. 

Team Room chart naming update

To provide better clarity and consistency across pages in Jira Align, we've updated a label name in the Sprint Status chart, accessed from the top of the Team Room. The Planned Velocity value has been changed to Committed Velocity, to better indicate this value is taken before the start date of the sprint.

Removal of legacy functions on Status Reports

As previously reported, while investigating defects related to the Status Reports page, we uncovered some legacy functionality that no longer operates correctly. The following options have been removed:

• The Group by [Goal name] button found in the Extra Configs menu of a status report
• User profile bubble images that display on cards when viewing a status report for a portfolio or program

Defect Fixes

The list of defect fixes will be updated to reflect changes in weekly maintenance releases. You can see the contents of individual maintenance releases in the Supplemental Release Notes section.
