Hi @Vinay Sharma , @Deepanshu Natani is correct, Jira Server (On-Prem) can be integrated with Jira Align (cloud), as long as the service account Jira Align needs to connect to Jira is granted the credentials/rights to get through any firewalls and other security measures. As long as users in your organization can reach the…

Wow. This one is stumping me, as far as worst gifts go. The worst Christmas I ever had was definitely Christmas 2000. It s the first Christmas without my father. He died on May that year.

Grateful to be of service here.

Great news, @Tim Keyes

I'm game. I'll take the next available in order. That should be July 31st, unless someone grabbed it.

Hi @Richard Wilson _Jarow Digital_ I've worked closely with cPrime for several years. They are a great team. I didn't mention their tools because you asked specifically about JET. JET, while pretty good, isn't as strong as the cPrime tool set, as far as I know. Implementing Jira Align requires specific knowledge and…

Oh boy, this is dating me a bit - 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Lost in Space (the original series), Mr Ed, Tom and Jerry, Bugs Bunny (where I developed a love for classical music at an early age), and the list goes on. Two weeks ago I introduced my fiancee to Lost in Space by watching with her the original series pilot…

The full set of Start Wars movies over the holiday break. My fiancee (named Liya) had never seen any of the movies and didn't understand why people kept referencing her as Princess Leia. Once we finished binging all 10, we went and saw Rise of Skywalker in IMAX 3D. We also binge watched The Mandalorian over the holiday…

I've been kicking around the idea for a while now on an Unofficial Guide to Jira Align because AgileCraft had such an interesting origin and Jira Align is a very powerful platform that isn't being used as the transformation platform it is capable of being. I've also been kicking around the idea of writing a book on my…

Hi @Richard Wilson _Jarow Digital_ I know that the Jira Align team is working on integrating with Trello and was looking for people with use cases. I can't find the original post asking for input. @Tim Keyes- Were you the one who posted it? Regards, Peter

Hi @Nic Brough -Adaptavist-, See my answer to your question below. Regards, Peter

Hi @Richard Wilson _Jarow Digital_, I assume you mean the AgileCraft/Jira Align JET utility for evaluating a Jira environment prior to integrating with Jira Align? That utility was never meant for general use, only for initial assessment prior to integrating Jira Align to the Jira environment. The JET utility was also only…

Hi @JS, While your question is fairly straightforward, the answer is not due to all of the variables that are left unasked/unanswered. I'll try to give you a short answer, based on what you've shared, and then a longer more nuanced answer. Short(ish) Answer: Relatively straightforward transition, based on what you shared…

Hi @Rae Gibbs You got me on the only edge case I could think of that made sense, during transition from Jira only to Jira with Jira Align. Thanks, Peter

Hi @Ollie Guan, Would it be possible for you to repost your question as a question? As a community leader, you know the importance of accepted solutions. :-) Thanks, Peter

Hi @Ollie Guan, Jira Align can support Jira nexgen projects, but based on my experience, it is a pain in the backside that isn't worth the headache. By the way, you are actually asking a question and not a starting a discussion. If possible, could you please move this to the question section so others can find it more…

Hi @RJ Gazarek, I missed the webinar and can't find it via Google. Is there a link available yet to watch the recording? I'm asking because I'm writing up a discussion (How Does Jira Align Currently Support SAFe 5.0 and What Would We as a Community Want Added?) on this very topic and would love to make sure it's…

Hi @Marleen Kluyver - There is a plug-in available to change epic in Jira to feature. It's from cPrime - https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1218959/safe-epic-to-feature-translator-for-jira?hosting=server&tab=overview.

Hi @Claire De Cort, May I ask what specifically you are looking for? Jira Align, while supporting SAFe, also supports the other agile at scale frameworks. Most of what is included/added in SAFe 5 is currently supported in Jira Align. Are there specific areas of interest in SAFe 5 that you don't see in Jira Align? Currently…

Hi @Deepanshu Natani, @Matt Mageejust posted the link (https://agilecrafthelp.zendesk.com/hc/en-us) to the Jira Align knowledge base above this question. Are you asking for something different that what he provided? The url still includes "agilecrafthelp" because Jira Align was known as AgileCraft until the acquisition…

Hi Tim, Interesting. I thought of that edge case, but haven't used it. We've typically required clean up of sprints prior to integration for all the headaches you know personally. I can definitely see using it only during initial integration as a transition step, but that requires additional attention to detail from those…

Hi @Tim Keyes, This is a nice update to the Origin Sprints functionality to make it much clearer for admins. I like the detail you provided on what the results sets look like. Of course, the question I wonder about is - Is there a single Jira Align client that DOESN'T use the best practice? Being part of AgileCraft when…

@ytoeda, @Shawn Kessler's answer above is spot on, as you'd expect from the the Head of Jira Align's Knowledge Management team. :-) One minor assumption not addressed (at least I don't think I see it here) in Shawn's answer is the actual setting in the Jira Connector that needs to be turned on for pulling and pushing rank…

Hi @[deleted] Hi Kelley, Short answer is no, you can't update the team associated with an iteration/sprint, from the sprint list screen. You can change the team name from the team detail page. The question is what are you trying to achieve by doing this? Each sprint in Jira Align is uniquely tied to a team based on the…

 Hi @Kelley Cooper, I assume by your question that you are referring to when a sub-task on a story in Jira is started that the story moves from Ready to Start to In Progress in JiraAlign. This same behavior is standard for features and portfolio epics in Jira Align, assuming all integration setting are correct in the…

Hi @WRW26, I am not sure why you are seeing what you are seeing, as this has never been an issue for me. I just did a sample export of some stories. In my export, column K (titled Release by default and Program Increment in this instance) of the Story tab clearly shows the Program Increment Title field (ex: 2020.1). In my…

Hi @Tim Keyes, Nicely written article. Of course, I didn't see it until after I wrote up this related one. Cheers, Peter
