How can teams view the priority of their feature (as set out in the backlog view) when they're assigning items to their sprints from the program board view during a PI planning event. Is there a way to display this in JA?
Hi @Vera du Preez ! Great question! There isn't a specific way to view priority of the Feature Backlog while viewing the Program Board. The Program Board is more about execution planning vs. priority (e.g. if it made the cut for the upcoming Quarter / PI, our focus shifts from what's the Backlog Priority to how do we most effectively execute against that Backlog for the Quarter / PI).
A recommendation I do have is to leverage the "Sprint Target Completion" field on the Feature prior to heading into a planning event to help indicate potential priority needs from a delivery perspective. Before planning you can look to target out when work needs to be done (based on priority conversations) and then teams can see that target sprint when looking to add their team target sprint (see screenshot). If they can't complete the work by the sprint initially targeted, a conversation should occur to talk about priority.
Hope this helps!
@Mark Cruth thanks for the speedy response. They have a massive backlog - which isn't ideal but I'm wondering if it's possible to pull through the backlog priority into a field in the feature view you've got in your example there, at least if they click on the feature, they can do a quick sense check?
That's a great idea! I don't believe that's possible today, but a great enhancement opportunity. Honestly, the only way I think of to give you a view of Backlog priority and the Program Board at the same time would be to have two browser windows up next to each other...one on the Feature Backlog and the other on the Program Board.
Hopefully others have ideas they can chime in with too!
Yeah, that's what I suggested initially!
