@manish a you can add a custom field to Jira Align and then map it using Field Management. You are limited to the number of custom fields in Jira Align. Here is some more info on Custom Fields and Field Management (open link and search for Configure field management settings)

@manish a When it comes to mandatory fields, make sure anything made mandatory is a field that is synched between Jira and Jira Align and is mandatory in both places. Fields that are NOT synced between Jira Align and Jira cannot be marked as required in Jira. If an item is created in Jira Align and there is a required…

@Joseph Hani I'm not quite sure how you could do this with the program board. One thing i can think of to at least make this visible in your process is to create process flows for your features, where one of the flow steps is the analysis and development work. This way on the backlog page for features, using the kanban…

@anagha_a_kulkarni There are a few ways to handle this. one as you mentioned is changing you sprint buffer days in Admin-Jira Settings. The other way- when creating the PI and the Anchor Sprints, you could manually go into the sync sprints tab, and after hitting Create Anchors to get the anchor sprints created, you could…

@anagha_a_kulkarni Removing that drop down from displaying for the work item is possible in the Admin Panel under Detail Panel Settings. Select the portfolio and the proper work item level and you will see the list of fields. There is an Active toggle that can be set to off and no one will see that field anymore.

@idayziah_jones it sounds like your issue might be with Jira and not Jira Align- if that is the case i would recommend that you post your question in the Jira Community- https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-Software/ct-p/jira

@Dominique Greene I would recommend that you create a Jira Align Product suggestion for the situation you identified above. You can create a Product suggestion ticket following the steps below: * Access https://support.atlassian.com/contact/#/ * Select "Product Suggestions" * Click on "Go to product suggestions" * Next,…

@Mit Tolia CoP teams are scheduled for deprecation. This type of team can still be created in Jira Align and associated with existing communities of practice for a short time. We do not recommend associating this type of team with a community of practice, as we have removed the Communities of Practice summary page. For…

@Theodore Gill if you are using the "top down from initiative" view and selecting Narrow to Program and Program Increment, only the child items are affected. When toggling this on/off you should see a difference in your story counts. From the Help page for work tree: To narrow your work tree report results, switch on the…

@Theodore Gill if i understand correctly what you are saying is when navigating from page to page Jira Align is showing the screen based on you current selections in your "sidebar" (aka where you select the portfolio/program/team and which increments you want to see.) When you navigate to a starred page, it is not showing…

@Sjoquist, Carl With new navigation, starring a specific page with a filter applied, will save that page/filter for easy access. See this page for more information: https://help.jiraalign.com/hc/en-us/articles/17159299661972-Use-the-homepage#starred

@Lyle Rosdahl - I've never seen this error and could not recreate it myself. Is this still happening? if it is, I think you are correct and you may want to open a support ticket.

@Leigh Roach At the moment the ability to see chat comments on items in the program board is not available in Jira Align, however, if you believe this is a value add feature for your company, you can create a Product suggestion ticket following the steps below: * Access https://support.atlassian.com/contact/#/ * Select…

@Iris Gochman - I dont think parking lot items would require slots in your capacity, but I think it depends on how your group uses the parking lot. What i have seen is it is typically used to callout/ reserve work that have some issues or unanswered questions to come back to later. This usually isn't "planned work" but…

@manish a see this section from the link above https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-Align-articles/New-steps-for-sharing-Jira-Align-product-suggestions/ba-p/2484888: Submitting a new suggestion Not finding your request in JAC? No problem, simply contact support to submit your new suggestion. From the support contact…

@M Amine you could sync stories from Jira to Jira Align only (vs bi-directionally) and not allow add/edit of stories in JA through permissions. This would give you rollup as Tom and James have mentioned, without allowing user story work to happen in JA.

@Raj in the api, for stories the points field synched with Jira is effortPoints. Hope this helps

@Mabary, Jennifer i would encourage you to look in utilizing Process Flows in Jira Align. A process flow consists of customizable steps that are used to provide a continuous flow of value through the agile process. Process flows represent your own process steps based on your organization’s terminology. See more in Help:…

@manish a those are date fields for the fixed date milestones and can not align directly to sprints. I would recommend you align those dates to the end of the sprint that you would like to use.

@manish a you can find information on how to submit / follow suggestions here: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-Align-articles/New-steps-for-sharing-Jira-Align-product-suggestions/ba-p/2484888

@manish a that feature looks like it is associated to 2 teams. The Falcons work is accepted and that is why that feature is green in that row. You should see that feature under the VIH teams row as well. Since that work is NOT done, i would expect that instance of this feature will not be green. Please let me know if that…

Hi @Bijal Patel the items in purple that you referenced are not part of the Jira-Jira Align sync and will reside solely in Jira Align.

@Stephanie Davis the Agile Added/Dropped report may give you what you are looking for: The Agile Added/Dropped Objects report captures changes to the scope of work for a certain team in the defined sprint. The report is beneficial to Scrum Masters and QA and dev leads for monitoring changes during the sprint to ensure…

Lyle- some things to consider before turning on the solution layer: * Once capabilities are enabled, they cannot be turned off * There is NO Solution Room dashboard like the Strategy, Portfolio, Program and Team Room. * Epics created in non-solution portfolio's cannot be moved to portfolios with solution level enabled. *…

Stephanie- i am not aware of a way to customize health categories. You can configure progress bars to show status/health automatically using thresholds that you can set.: Here is an article to help with that…

Caryntjen- The fields on the template are the only fields that can be updated by import. Other fields, such as custom fields, must be manually updated on the individual work item or updated via API. For more information: https://help.jiraalign.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000088674-Import-objects-via-Excel-overview

@Stephanie Davis 2 ways i can think of: On the Roadmap page, you can set colors/statuses for Features: https://help.jiraalign.com/hc/en-us/articles/231223507--Visualize-Beta-Roadmaps-in-Work-View Health status The health status of an item is reflected by the colors. Right-click the bar, and then select the necessary health…

@Camilla Harp one place you can see that in the Program Room For changes there are the PI Scope Change and Scope Change reports

@Anil You may want to post this question over in the Jira Community. There are a few threads over there around Smartsheet integration 

@Ahmed Elmazon The multi-bottom-up forecast is on a list to be deprecated, however, there's no additional information such as the target date or release when this will occur. That is why there is not any help page available for this report. We do not recommend using that report, and recommend that an Jira Align…
