New Year of Jira Work Management updates 🎆 Board grouping, integrated release calendars, and more

[#1]

We’re kicking 2023 off with exciting new features in your Jira Work Management projects.

Board grouping

Get more insight into ongoing work by customizing your boards. Now you can visualize tasks not only based on Status, but also on Priority, Assignee, and Category.

Coming soon: Faster selection in list view

Manage the items in your lists with fewer clicks. Need to copy or delete multiple tasks? Select them to take action and get organized right away. That leaves you with more time to collaborate as a team and make an impact.

💡Check out that shift + select action!

Coming soon: Integrated calendars with Jira Software

Coordinating work between business and software teams takes expert planning, consistent communication, and lots of alignment. Make it easier by adding release dates from Jira Software directly to your Jira Work Management calendars.

Choose a Jira Software project to add and you’ll get a synced view of upcoming releases in your workspace. That means less check-in pings, status meetings, and back and forth.

Sneak peeks

We’ve got Slack integration and filtering improvements on the horizon. Stay tuned for more details!

What are you most excited about this month? Let us know below 👇

[Daniel Filous]

Can't wait for the integrated calendar!! 

[Fúlvio Carvalhido]

Board Grouping awesome 

[Yoni Az]

So glad to see the Trello UI finally integrated into Jira. Can't wait!

[Ericka Loveland]

So excited to be able to group by assignee! I was just asking a co-worker about this the other day!

[Thiago Vinícius]

Board grouping not visible for business project type (team-managed). 

[Jo-Lee Bertrand]

Updates coming to software projects?

[Paul Howard]

Board Grouping seems only available for Team Managed projects, as I'm not seeing in our Company Managed project Software Project boards, which is 95% of our projects. @Abby Stiris , can you clarify project types this applies to, as there are questions.

[Deleted user]

Will Calendar integration ONLY come in Team Managed/Work Management projects, or will Calendar integration also work with Company Managed Projects as well......

Inquiring minds want to know @Abby Stiris

How do people manage to work across multiple projects without a global view?

Maybe I'm missing something, but we usually work on multiple projects in a single week, how can we properly plan our work?

[Nicole Downes]

I have encountered some problems with the board grouping.  One JWM company managed project has all the staff using it.  When I group by assignee it shows assignees that have left the company (inactive), assignees that no longer have any open work assigned to them, (so there is nothing to see when you expand the grouping) and doesn't show everyone, just the first 50 names alphabetically.  

[Abby Stiris]

Thanks for your comments everyone! Board grouping is still rolling out but should be available for both team-managed and company-managed projects in JWM. If you're not seeing it yet, stay tuned! Thanks for your patience.

[Sue]

Board Grouping, can't wait! 

[Epsa Katahra]

Amazingly amazing!! Can't wait to start using them in the daily business!!

[Giacomo Lupini]

 In Jira Work Management, will we able to integrate only software project calendar?

[David Cruz]

We will have the tasks grouped by epics in the timeline of the Management projects bug fixed?

[Armando Porretta]

I think this would be really useful to have on Jira Software - could this be done? 

[Ram Kumar Aravindakshan _Adaptavist_]

This is a great feature.

[dmitry_gil]

Great features.

Will it be possible to select just one JSW calendar to be displayed in JWM? Or multiple as well. Really would like to be able to select multiple because one business team can work with dozens of SW projects.

[Abby Stiris]

Great feedback everyone, thank you!! Sharing your questions with our product team.

[Manikanta A M]

Thank you team, insightful article. Board grouping feature is amazing. 

Any forecasting date, by when we can expect to see in this feature.

[Serosoft Jira Administrator]

Group by Assignee is simply great!

[Daniel]

Integration with google calendar would be the most useful. let's keep pushing 💪🏼

[Tomas Tittl]

Hi Guys, maybe a silly question, but how can I change a view of the left bar ? I preferred the old version where I could see Roadmap, Board, Kanban or Active Sprints, etc... Thank you

[dmitry_gil]

Is Board grouping available for all?

BTW I still don't see a feature that was announced few weeks ago - backlog for calendar/list view
