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.

When you create an admin user, you must now also specify an email address so that if he forgets his password, he can reset it himself.

As an RTE at the first step of the session creation "General" you can set a date for your PI Planning. As soon as the day is approaching, in the piplanning app the PI Planning session will be highlighted in grey.

With Rally sync you can now manually synchronize single iterations. So you don't have to stop and restart the whole sync from the RTE Cockpit. The teams can manage this themselves on team level.

Under Teams you can now assign teams to a session without giving them a Team Board. This way you can also create e.g. a Solution session that allows you to visualize dependencies between ARTs.

The XLSX export now also contains the dependencies. This way, you can also feed it back into an ALM tool that has no direct sync.

When uploading a CSV file and something with the iteration numbering is not correct, we let you know with an error message you can understand.

Use default field values if you want that a specific filed in Rally gets filled out automatically when a sticky note is created in the piplanning app. That's also helpful if you have some required fields.

In the Iteration mapping dropdown we only show Rally iterations that don't have the status "Accepted" in Rally. This way you don't have to scroll through hundreds of iterations which aren't relevant for you.
