Notes

You can create notes for Jira work items, BigPicture boxes and basic tasks

Notes are useful for documenting details, capturing decisions, and sharing updates. Because they are public, they also act as a communication channel, ensuring everyone is up-to-date.

Learn more on the Notes page.

Enhancements

You can narrow down a box scope using Jira labels

The items in a box that have been added to a box (spaces, boards, filters) can be limited to include only the ones that have specified labels. The “AND” operator is used. This field retrieves labels from Jira (data type “Labels”).

For example, the SAFe ART (Smart house) box shown below will contain tasks from PI PLANNING and OBJECTIVES FOR PI PLANNING that also have an “AMBER” label added to them. Items from those spaces without that label are automatically excluded from the scope of the box.

Multiple labels can be used at the same time.

Task structure

Link-based builders allow for a more flexible multi-level task tree

The combined use of built-in and link-based structure builders allows for setting up a multi-level structure of similar items (for example, nesting stories under tasks, without the need to create sub-tasks).

Open

With the task structure set up as shown above, when you manually change the task nesting in the tree, the change is allowed. The items are linked with the “relates” link in Jira, while all items keep the same epic as their parent.

If a built-in builder cannot be used due to its limitations (eg, Epic under Epic, Story under Story), then a Link-based builder is used.

Open

Note: In the situation below, the built-in builder takes priority despite its second position on the list.

1. Link-based builder (eg. Blocks, Relates)

2. Built-in builder (eg. Epic, Parent)

Shareable links

Shareable link is valid for 360 days after its last use
