Releases

We just released a new feature that gives you a better overview. When clicking on the link icon where you find all the stickies that are linked to this particular sticky note you now also have the information which teams the stickies are assigned, in which iteration they sit and (if they are synced with an ALM tool) what ALM key they have.

Click on the Jira issue key or Rally work item key in the upper right corner of the sticky note and you will be immediately redirected to the Jira issue or Rally work item.

The sticky notes you have in the Iteration Overview which you can access by double clicking an iteration has now all the information on the sticky notes you wanted. Makes it easy to present them to the team or stakeholders.

Now you can also see what the sticky type of the stickies on the Program Backlog Board are. Furthermore is it possible now to sort the Program Backlog Board items overview by which teams are assigned to the sticky notes.

You don't plan with the Fibonacci sequence? No problem with this release. Now just click on the Story Points field and enter your own preferred value in the text field.

We removed the flag from the sticky note menu and added it to the upper left corner where you can click it to flag sticky notes.

Press the buttons in the lower left corner of the Objectives overview to upsize or downsize the Objectives. This gives you better readability when presenting them for example on a projector.

Today is a big day! After countless hours of hard work we are finally ready to release the beta version of the piplanning app. When designing the new web-based version of the piplanning app we took all the customer feedback we got and all the learnings from the previous version and turned it into a beautiful and extremely intuitive new piplanning app version. Check it out yourself.

Load Warning and Capacity Limit Theshol are now configurable in the RTE Cockpit under the Team Board configuration

PI-Admins can now be assigned to specific ARTs and Solution Trains (STs), extending their permissions to manage teams, ARTs, and STs based on their assignments. This change enhances control over visibility and editing capabilities in the RTE Cockpit. Important: When a user’s role is modified, the system retains their ART/ST associations but adjusts permissions accordingly. Please be aware that this is a breaking change, and further guidance on managing these new permissions will be provided in our documentation.

Helping organizsations meet compliance needs, admins can optionally adjust an inactivity timeout in the cockpit settings after which users get automatically logged out. This functionality detects mouse and keyboard activity, ensuring that only active sessions remain logged in.

ART backlog issues in Jira can now be filtered by additional field types beyond labels, these are FixVersion, Component, Single-select (customfield), and Multi-select (customfield). This does simplify your configuration and providing greater flexibility in synchronizing your ART backlog.

You can now setup your team by mapping Microsoft Azure AD groups directly to teams using OIDC. This feature allows for efficient team management and synchronization with your organization's AD structure, making user and team onboarding quicker and more consistent.

We’ve updated the login behavior for environments with SSO enabled. When SSO-only is active, username and password options are hidden, and user management is streamlined, allowing admins to add users via team assignments but removing password reset options. When SSO is off, login fields for username and password, password resets, and user invitations via email are available, offering greater flexibility in user management.

piplanning.io now supports Azure DevOps (ADO) instances (on-prem) using XML process templates, enabling seamless bidirectional sync of work item statuses. By refining the integration to exclude unused properties like custom rules, this update improves compatibility with XML process templates while maintaining clear logging of any API errors due to custom rules for admin visibility in ALM Events.

Admins can now export a comprehensive list of all users within their company as an XLSX or CSV file. The export includes user details such as ID, email, name, role, teams, last login, and SSO linkage, supporting compliance needs with easy access to user data.

The precond-team and depend-team you add on dependencies are now part of the xlsx session export.

You can now synchronize the team-field (project) between Rally and piplanning.io ART-level sticky notes.
