@ali yasa Thank you for reaching out. All the tech specs are offered in our Jira Align Help documentation. In this case you are looking for on-premis section under Documentation. The specific page/link you are seeking is Jira Align self hosted guide which contains 10 different articles that will be of interest for you.

@Pamela Bereman Yes they are different. Intake is demonstrated on the Epic issue type as a tab inside the issue itself. These forms can be created inside the Platform Settings. Ideation is a space prior to an actual Epic (or other issue type) creation.

@Pamela Illidge Thank you for your question. The way the PI is selected on initial load of a page (such as the ART Room or the ART Board, etc...) is derived from the dates of the PIs from inside the PI Object. If your PI Dates overlap, the system will default to both of them on initial load of a page. It is all based upon…

@Poluru Sai Shilpa Thank you for your question. I will start with the "linked issues" - the only integration that exists that can leverage a linked issue type is in the dependency space where you can configure to injest the Depends on or Depends types to create the shell of a dependency in Jira Align. * Simple answer for…

@Michael Yaroshefsky - Visor for Jira This is Jira Align, not Jira. The Marketplace app you suggested is not something that can be used in Jira Align. 

@Joshua Thanks for the question! The star icons for milestones have specific colors that are not something that can currently be changed. This article gives you more information, however I also copied the pertinent section here. To display milestones on your roadmap: * * From the side navigation, choose Roadmap. * Select…

@Stephen Gayheart As of 4/21/25 there is not a FedRamp option for Jira Align. I believe it is on the roadmap, but timing is TBD. 

@Bob Hunt Hello Bob, great question! I believe what you are hoping to do is create a Process Flow (Value Stream) for the Story Level. This article expresses how to do that - Create Process Flows If you choose to do this, you will also want to read Jira Integration Set-up specifically the section on Map statuses to states.…

@Carmen Popp Thank you for your suggestion! The best way to submit a suggestion so that the Atlassian Product Teams can review them is to submit them through Support. You can access the Support directly from within the Jira Align Application (Select your picture from the top right, then "Support" from within the overlay…

@Humashankar VJ Thank you for your question! Jira Align is specifically designed for At-Scale operations and it handles massive amounts of data, users and various Agile Methodologies (include custom). To give you an example, I can think of customers who have 10,000 Active Users (not including Integrated Users) with 10 or…

@Vanya I believe you may be referencing Jira and not Jira Align. The screenshot below demonstrates where you can find the watchers inside a Board in Jira (issue in preview), it should be OOB functionality and not need any configuration inside the Board Settings. If you are referencing something different please provide a…

@emile.de.nijs.bik I would advise submitting a ticket to Support so they can obtain information when this does occur so it can be resolved. They will also provide details back for you if an issue already exists that matches this issue.

@Nena Kruljac Thank you for the question! This is a rather complex pattern of data flow, if the Process Steps are correctly mapped to state, the Process Steps are in an appropriate order, the Process Steps are mapped in the Project Mapping AND the Sync Process Steps with Jira States is also done correctly then this will…

@joyce beers Could you be a little more specific about which Product you are using? I am guessing that you are talking about Jira and not Jira Align, but I could be wrong. If you could provide the Product and the hosting (On-Prem VS Cloud) we could be more helpful. 

@Bob Hunt Great Question! If you were operating ONLY in Jira, then your teams pattern of using the "Complete Sprint" and then choosing where those unfinished items land (Future Sprint or Backlog) is perfect. However, you are not operating ONLY in Jira and that sometimes means altering behavior. * Jira Align currently can…

@Denise DeCesare Intake and Ideation are hot topics recently, thank you for your questions. * I am going to preface this with just a little of my background so that you have a sense of why I answer the way I am. * Prior to joining Atlassian I lead our Agile Tools and Processes at a large financial institution (think 6,000…

@Darshan Hiranandani Great question, I make some assumptions below and I call them out so if any of those are incorrect you may not have the right detail. New Team * Assumption - New team would mean they are actually new, not that they are a scrum team who has been operating for some relative amount of time with sprints.…

@Louise Boulton Thank you for your question. I will attempt to address each item I see individually. Child OKRs from multiple PIs * The filters on the page apply to the Tier selected (in your case Portfolio), the Portfolio/s selected, the PI's selected, Statuses selected and Owners selected. * These do not apply to the…

@Rajesh Versions are textual driven in Jira. If your versions don't have a taxonomy to order them via numerical + textual, then the order using either ASC or DESC will use an Alpha ordering. Example: * If your taxonomy is "Date + Textual" then your date will be the first portion of the ordering evaluation. * 01/17/2025 -…

@Bob Hunt Yes, Features can be imported to Jira Align. If you have your features bi-directionally syncing then they would be created in Jira after being imported to JA. I will say that the import function in Jira Align is not as robust as they are in Jira. It may be much cleaner and allow more data to be imported by…

@Rajesh This is probably best to be submitted as a Support ticket, there are a lot of variables between how your Jira Instance is set-up and how your Jira Align instance is set-up. Since we are unable to look at your instance with you from the Community we would need to gain a decent amount of information to assist.

@Bob Hunt The best view available for this (without taking additional data steps) will. be the Program Board, specifically in the Quick View section. In the Program Board all the Features for a given PI will be displayed, additionally for each Team the Feature will appear in that Teams swimlane if one of two conditions are…

@Louise Boulton I don't know that I can give you a comprehensive list of every page or view that contains Progress as an option as many of the pages/views are only going to display Progress if you select it in the page configuration. Here is a list of places where you can see Progress based upon choices: *…

@Mike Kerfeld I think we might need a little more information before we can advise here. What view (report, page, etc...) are you trying to get this from? * Backlog * Grid View * Work Tree * Status Reports * Others? What is the outcome desired? * A list of all the names of the Epics?* Constrained to a given PI? All Time…

@Michael Holian Thanks for submitting your question. Once a Story is included in a Sprint and that Sprint has been started it will be part of the planned story points. If that story is going to be cancelled it is necessary to remove it from the sprint (send to backlog in Jira). Cancelled is a final status just like Done is…

@Darshan Hiranandani Thanks for your question! This becomes a little multi-faceted, but I will call out what is pertinent to your question. Each of the hyperlinks below are to either a specific page in Help or a summary page with multiple pages below that are pertinent. Role Toggles (Permissions to do activities * Every…

@Jackie_miranda Thanks for the question! Technical limitations are going to be a little different than what kind of guidance we might provide. Technically I believe the limit is 999, then the UI begins to behave in odd methods and you will struggle with adding/removing, etc... Our guidance would be more in the realm of…

@Nicolae Victor Rusu Thanks for your question. The Green Numbers indicate stories which are inside the timeframe of it's parent (Feature). The Red Numbers indicate stories which are outside the timeframe of it's parent (Feature). Example The Feature "PST: Forecasting Enhancements (Split-Part 2) has two stories that are…

@Bob Hunt If each team does not have it's own Jira Project; the Program Jira Project is already integrated to JA and you have already parented the Team (based upon their board, which is done in Jira Management --> Add Board) (see screenshot), then the team will already be part of the Program. * You can validate the Team is…

@michael.distelvelt Thank you for your question. This is base functionality for the application and is not available to be altered. There is already a Feature Request (suggestion) existing (linked below), please add yourself as a watcher and vote for the idea. JIRAALIGN-5736 - Allow more control on automatic update to…
