Heatmap mode

Heatmap mode

You can color-code the objectives displayed when the Heatmap mode is enabled. 

Use color coding in different ways, one of which is monitoring ongoing objectives' health status. For example, the Release Train Engineer can better keep track of objective completion during, e.g., Scrum of Scrums meetings. 

Visibility options, Heatmap mode

None

Heatmap mode is off.

Color by Status

There are three default colors used in this mode, which change together with status changes:

  • Completed – green

  • Abandoned – grey

  • Failed – red

An objective will not be highlighted when it is in the Open status.

Main Objectives, two objectives highlighted

Manual Colors

Heatmap mode is set to manually and allows you to edit colors associated with individual objectives.

You can change the colors manually by editing the Objective. To open the "Details dialog," double-click on the Objective or right-click and select Details.

The health status can be presented following the traffic light convention:

  • Green 

  • Yellow 

  • Red

Each health status can have a description defining its meaning. For example, green indicates being on track, yellow indicates being at risk, and red indicates being off track.

Configuration

Settings are applicable only in a manual heatmap mode.

Settings are changed per Box type.

App admins can define the colors for each Box type in App administration > Box types > Select the box type to edit > Objectives > Colors.
