🧭 Smarter status selection for project-based charts
No more scrolling through irrelevant statuses! When you use a Jira project as a data source in Agile Cycle Time Charts, only statuses from that project are shown in the configuration panel, helping you focus on what’s relevant and speeding up chart setup:
📊 Available in:
☁️ Compatible with Cloud and Data Center
🧩 Enhanced issue hierarchies: renamed source, 3-level depth, and improved tooltips
Working with issue hierarchies is now easier and more intuitive:
-
The “Initiatives” data source has been renamed to “Issue hierarchies” to align more closely with the Atlassian glossary.
-
You can now select up to 3 levels of hierarchy depth, offering more flexibility for complex structures:

We’ve added clearer tooltips to help you understand what each level includes, making configuration easier than ever:
Perfect for teams visualizing work progress and forecasting under Initiatives, Epics, Stories, and beyond.

🚀 JQL-based multiple item selection in the Issues hierarchy data source
Speed up parent issue setup in Scaled Agile reports! Use JQL to select multiple parent items in the hierarchy at once - no more clicking through long lists:
🛠️ Standard issue types and sub-tasks are excluded by default, so you only need to define the project where your Initiatives are stored.
