Enhancements

Scope definition

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).

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.

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)

Strategic Areas

The share button has been added to the Strategic Areas

With the Share view functionality, you can generate a link and send it to other users. The link opens the app view you had when generating it (for example, the selected filters remain active).

UX/UI changes

Projects renamed to spaces

To align with Jira changes, we have replaced “projects” with “spaces” in our user interface.

In the scope definition, the “Narrow down” section has been renamed to “Additional filters for work items”
