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.

If you scroll down it will automatically load and display more users.

For the Program Backlog Board you can now filter your features by releases. So only the features that are in a specific release will be reflected in the piplanning app on the Program Backlog Board.

You can now set your own preferred order for the teams on the Program Board. Just arrange them the way you want. This can help you to optimize the dependency visualization as you can place teams that have many dependencies to other teams in the center of the board.

We have made it consistent that you always have to press save when you change something in the configuration.

Want to be really fast when preparing your next PI Planning? Simply duplicate a previous session with all the configuration including sticky types and ALM configuration. This way you are ready for PI Planning within a few minutes.
