Next Gen Project Improvements:
@Jason Wong Hey Jason! Thanks for the quick reply! Super excited to hear that most things are planned to be executed.
About point #3: The current portfolio is a bit complicated. It would be great to just have something like the next-gen project roadmap and kanban combined, divided to swimlanes of projects, and have a progress bar, issue counter, team mates, and an estimation date for each one. The estimation should be based on the individual roadmap of each project. Having the users filter will help the management and team leaders understand the statue of their employees, and would also allow each user to see their individual tasks. I think the individual one should even be part of the dashboard along with the simple To Do list.
Something like this:
I'd like to add 2 other things!
1. Disable the option to added double labels - For example, if the label 'Widget' is already added the label 'widget' shouldn't be allowed. It creates a mess if different users add the same labels in different formats - It makes it unnecessarily a bit more complicated to find all the relevant issues later on.
2. The left panel can be a bit confusing. It has 2 states:
State 1
State 2
It would be great to just have one state - it really confuses people, and they don't understand how to navigate to certain things.
Something like this:
Thanks again! Your improvements are awesome and I think my colleagues and many others will find Jira much more likable and simple to use :)
Show on card of issue if it has blockers (color / icon) - You can do this with the flag card feature. Just hover over the card and click on the menu to find the Add flag option.
Well ... no, that is not the answer. If the issue already has a linked "blocked by" issue - why would the user have to manually add a flag on top of that?
Hey @Jason Wong :) Sorry for the delayed answer!
1. It doesn't work - keeps on sending it to the backlog and it's super annoying - especially when opening bugs, since they're usually handled immediately by developers, and not everyone remembers that they need to get them out of the backlog. It would be great to even have a checkbox or something when opening an issue that defines whether it should be sent to the backlog or not.
2. It was following a bug that was solved! People could close sprints of other projects from their project - solved now!
4. We're using the flags feature to mark issues that are covered by feature flags. Moreover, it sucks to add it manually and once all blockers are closed we'll need to remove it manually as well. In the classic an icon is added automatically to the card of an issue with blockers and when hovering over it you can see a list of all the blocker's Jira Ids and their status - if they're resolved the issue ID is crossed-out.
5. We're a global company so sometimes we'd want to add the comment at someone else's time, and sometimes teams like Support, who works at night time, want to set the time for the morning. And people who work weekends. Not critical at all - nice to have.
10. It would be nice to have the design of a feature that the issue is about, and have the CSS that it generates added as well, instead of adding a link / adding screenshots. Also, just nice to have.
12. We'd like to have a mode that doesn't open a popup. Asana has an ability to click on the plus sign (just like the new new one in the next-gen kanban) and it lets you write just the summary, and when pressing enter it moves to the next one. Sort of a 'checklist', but they're still normal cards on the board.
14. It doesn't work for me :/
Thanks for everything!
And one question - Is there an estimation to when the 'Release' feature will be available in next-gen projects?
> This is coming! You’ll see it appear in the new editor where you add description and comments.
Has this landed? It's been just shy of a year since this comment, but I can't find it.
thanks!
I can see that you are waiting for a checklist in the Description. TBH I wouldn't count on Atlassian with this one (at least not in the short term).
New Issue View is evolving very slowly now, and it seems that Atlassian puts more resources into Next-Gen.
Instead of waiting, you can try the free checklist delivered by my team: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1220209/issue-checklist-free?hosting=cloud&tab=overview
I'm happy to answer all the questions that you might have about it.
Cheers,
Jack
