Releases

Kanban support has arrived in Execution Mode, making Agile collaboration more seamless than ever. This new feature allows teams to start managing their work in a fully Jira-synced Kanban board.

You’ll find the Utilities menu in the lower-right corner, making key board functions like adding sticky notes, scaling, zooming, and the new Pan Mode easier to access. With Pan Mode, effortlessly navigate your board using the hand icon or by holding the spacebar and dragging. Selecting multiple sticky notes is now smoother, too. Plus, the Plan vs. Execution switch is now right next to your profile for quicker toggling.

Clicking on the logo in the top navgiation opens your org structure and allows you to switch easily your PI sessions

Canvases can now be copied from one session to another. That allows you to create templates and re-use them in future PI sessions.

You can now assign work items on a risk board to a person.

You can now link any sticky note to another within the same PI session, allowing for better cross-team and cross-ART (Agile Release Train) collaboration. Easily link stories within or across teams, as well as to features in other ARTs, with an improved UI that includes team and type filtering plus full-text search for streamlined navigation.

The Connection Status Page is designed to provide better insights and help diagnose connection issues more effectively.

Easily track changes on sticky notes with the new Board Activity Compare feature. Compare any two points in time—such as Now vs. Last Workday, Now vs. Start of Iteration, or Now vs. Start of PI—to view updates on attributes and actions taken on each sticky note, providing clear insights into recent activity and progress.

A new "Assignee" field on sticky notes now allows you to assign users directly within the app. The assignee syncs seamlessly with Jira and Rally, displaying user IDs and enabling easy edits. This update enhances collaboration by linking ALM user assignments to piplanning.io.

piplanning.io is now fully compliant with Section 508 and WCAG 2.1 Level AA accessibility standards! This update ensures an improved experience for all users, including those with disabilities, by enhancing keyboard navigation, screen reader support, color contrast, and more.

piplanning.io now fully supports Jira's new "parent/child" link type, allowing admins to configure this standardized way of linking Features, User Stories, and other work items. This update streamlines project setup, enhances linking in the RTE Cockpit, and ensures a smooth experience for customers using the Jira Integration.

As a PI Admin, you now have the ability to add and edit team members, as well as manage teams within your Agile Release Train.

Prepare New PI: Retain the original PI configuration while updating teams, iteration names, and mappings. Duplicate This PI: Create a copy of the PI with the option to update team compositions, typically used when teams change before PI Planning begins.

Jira users can now use the out of the box Jira team field for mapping team and ART level items.

Automatically mirror Backlog Board items onto the Team Board when the team is assigned. This can easily be done in the RTE Cockpit by ticking the relevant box located under the ART Backlog Board.

Within this new role, known as the PI Admin, individuals are granted access to the RTE Cockpit. They assume the responsibility of managing teams within their ART and Solution Trains, including the ability to add new team members. Moreover, they are entrusted with overseeing PI sessions in which they are actively involved as part of their Teams.

In addition to English, you can now set Spanish or Japanese as your preferred language. Choose the language under your profile.

Lately, we added additional tools to help you to troubleshoot ALM connectivity issues. This allows you to narrow down the problem with your stuck Jira or ADO sync faster than ever before. We highlight connection issues for each PI Planning session and provide a detailed log for each ALM connection.

You can enjoy new navigation in the RTE Cockpit. The menu got a cool design and the footer has been removed. We love it!

When you edit a session, you know which one you're editing because the session name in the title is always visible whichever settings menu you are editing.
