Meet the new BigPicture navigation
A faster, smarter, and more intuitive way to work is here. We’ve redesigned BigPicture navigation to give you a smoother experience and better access to what matters most.
→ Discover what’s new, explore key improvements, and review feature name updates on the New navigation page.
→ The rollout will happen gradually, and the previous navigation will be retired in September 2026.
Heatmap mode (Goals)
Heatmap mode - Goals module (old navigation)
You can color-code the goals displayed when the Heatmap mode is enabled.
Use color coding in different ways, one of which is monitoring ongoing goals' health status. For example, the Release Train Engineer can better keep track of goal completion during Scrum of Scrums meetings.
Click the View button in the top menu to open the available options:
None
By status
Manually
Heatmap mode (options)
None
Heatmap mode is off.
By status
There are three default colors used in this mode, which change together with goal status changes:
Completed (green)
Abandoned (grey)
Failed (red)
An goal will not be highlighted when it is in the Open status.
Manually
Heatmap mode is set to Manually, and lets you edit colors associated with individual goals. You can change the colors manually by editing the goal. To open the "Details dialog," double-click on the goal 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.
Colors 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 > Goals > Colors.
