What are your daily go-to views in Jira Align?

Peter Jessen

Hi Everyone,

I've been implementing, coaching, and using Jira Align for 4 years now. In that time I've developed a preference for coaching new users, especially RTEs and Product Managers, to use a basic 4 - 5 go-to views for quickly determining the health and progress of the programs/ARTs.

My favorites include:

1. Program Room
2. Program Board
3. PI Progress
4. Roadmaps
5. Work Tree

What are yours and why?

Thanks,
Peter

Hi Peter, 

 

I've been implementing, coaching, and administering Jira Align for almost a year now myself. I agree with what you say and would add the following views/screens to that list: 

• Program ROAM Dashboard - for Scrum of Scrum 
• Dependency Wheel View - for Scrum of Scrum 
• Program Increment Progress - for PI Burndowns & Burnups

 

The one challenge I find with Jira Align is that you can't customize reports, so often the metrics one needs are spread across multiple reports, which gets to the crux of your post. Thus, I need to work with users to focus their attention on specific metrics on each report. What metrics do you find most useful for RTEs and Product Managers on the five reports/views you listed? 

 

Best,
