Clarification on some of the upcoming Jira Align functionality to be deprecated?

[Heidi Hendry]

Hi,
I have just reviewed this document:
Announcing end-of-support status and future removals for legacy Jira Align functionality – Jira Align

in relation to permission toggles, so that we can look at disabling deprecated functionality now, rather than later.

Generally, it would be helpful if you could supply a list of permissions that map to the deprecated functionality, so that we can see what would have an impact on our customers.

Specifically, for some of the items, I couldn't find a permission. Does this mean that it's not in my version?
I was looking on version 10.126.3

I have some questions about the list.

Maps	Journey Maps	Does this relate to a particular permission?
	Program increment tree map	Does this relate to a particular permission?
	Story maps	Does this relate to a particular permission?
Reports for portfolios and products	Demand vs capacity by asset	Is this the same as "Demand vs Capacity by Team" ?
	Investment distribution	I couldn't find this. Is there a particular permission for this?
	Metrics	Which Metrics is this referring to? "Metric Report" ? Or something else?
	Portfolio Escalations	Is this "Escalations" at the Portfolio layer in permissions?
	Strategy dashboard	What is this? Is this the Strategy Room?
Reports for programs and program increments	Dashboard	What is this? Is this a typo?
	Program dashboard	What is this? Is this the Program Room?
	Program increment sprint report	Is this "Program Increment / Sprint Metrics" found under Additional Options > Reports ?
	Velocity by certainty	I couldn't find this. Is there a particular permission for this?
Reports for teams and sprints	Sprint hours	I couldn't find this. Is there a particular permission for this?
	Team emotion	Is this "Team emotion by sprint" ?
	Team states	I couldn't find this. Is there a particular permission for this?
	Value earned	I couldn't find this. Is there a particular permission for this?
Users and attributes	Skill levels	I couldn't find this. Is there a particular permission for this?
Work items	Object promote	I couldn't find this. Is there a particular permission for this?
	Edit asset title	I couldn't find this. Is there a particular permission for this?

Hi Heidi,

Thanks for being proactive in starting to hide functionality that we’ll no longer support!

Here are answers for questions in your table:

Functions without permission toggles (located in Admin > Roles)

Not every page, report, or function in Jira Align has an associated role permission toggle. We’ve reviewed your table, and for items where you ask about permissions, there are not associated toggles, save for two items:

• Story maps are controlled with the Program > Track > Story maps toggle.
• Portfolio escalations are controlled with the Portfolio > Manage > Escalations toggle.

Also note that when a page name cannot be found, it may be a legacy page or report that is still in our codebase, but not fully accessible. To ensure we don’t catch anyone by surprise, we included all parts of our codebase that we intend to eventually remove.

Other questions

• Is demand vs capacity by asset the same as demand vs capacity by team?
  • No, the former is a legacy report that can not be accessed in most instances.
• What is investment distribution?
  • This is a legacy report that we removed in 10.98.X when we updated our financial calculations functionality. We’re removing this entry from the announcement to reduce confusion, thanks for the catch!
• What is metrics?
  • This is a legacy report that is related to the Enterprise > Transform > Metrics permission toggle. It is also known as metric sheet. We’ll update the announcement to include both names.
• What is the program increment sprint report?
  • This is not related to the permission toggle you mentioned. It does not have a dedicated toggle. More info about the report can be found at https://help.jiraalign.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000252273-Program-increment-sprint-report
• Is team emotion the same as team emotion by sprint?
  • Yes, we’ll update the announcement to include both name variants that exist between the page title and the related permission toggle.
• What is the program dashboard report?
  • This is a report that does not have a permission toggle. More info can be found at https://help.jiraalign.com/hc/en-us/articles/115004398467-Program-dashboard
• What are dashboard and strategy dashboard?
  • These are legacy pages that don’t have related permission toggles, which may not be accessible in most instances.

Hi Kyle, thanks for the quick response.

I've had another pass through and would like to check the following with you:

Are these items Legacy?

• Journey Maps
• Program Increment Tree Maps
• Edit Asset Title
• Velocity by certainty
• Value Earned

And:

• Program Increment status - is this "Program Increment status summary" ?
• Split analysis - is this "Split story analysis" ?
• Sprint coverage - is this "Sprint story coverage" ?
• Sprint hours -is this "Sprint performance" ?
• Team states - is this "Sprint states" ?

Thank you

Hi Heidi, not a problem!

I've looked through your items in the first section, and all of those appear to be legacy, due to no presence of a page/report when searching in Jira Align, and no complimentary Help articles.

For the second group of items, I scanned through Help and a test instance, and it looks like you found a chunk of items that have one name in the title/URL, and sometimes a different name in the navigation and/or reports landing page. I've updated those five items in the announcement with the secondary name. Thanks!

Thanks Kyle, that helps a lot!
