Releases

The login page in piplanning.io has been redesigned. After entering your email, select the account you want to use and you are in the familiar application.

Sticky notes can have different functions in PI Planning. Therefore, in piplanning.io they have properties corresponding to the function. From now on, sticky notes with a work item function can also indicate the status of the task, which can be: to do, in progress, or done. In the case of those with note functions, we can make simple notes without unnecessary functions.

The built-in timer helps you with timeboxing. You can configure it for the whole ART that will be visible on all boards. Or you can also set an individual timer for a specific Team Board. You can always see what time is still left. Pause or reset if it's needed. When the time is up, the alarm will sound for those to whom it is addressed.

By clicking on the small icon in the Program Board header, you can access reports such as Capacity Allocation and Load vs. Capacity. They help you plan your resources more accurately during your PI session.

The arrange button has been removed from the navigation bar. This function can be accessed by clicking on the three dots or by right-clicking on the mouse in each iteration.

From now on, when you type in the search bar, the items matching your search will be automatically listed. This is also true if you search for stickers or teams. If nothing is entered, all items will be listed.

We've restructured the functions to make it easier to see which ones apply to the whole board or specifically to the part you clicked on.

In this newly available report, you can get feedback on the load of the iterations to see the status of your planning. The color of the bar helps you get a quick overview: blue indicates that the load is fine, orange is a warning and red is an overload. To do this, click on the pie chart in the upper right corner of any iteration and select the Load vs. Capacity tab.

You can now see on the Program Board and Team Board the risky links where the dependency is planned to be delivered in the same iteration or a later one than the feature. A notification will appear in the bottom right corner and disappears as soon as the risky link is resolved.

Two new canvases are available. The checklist for Scrum of Scrums of Day 2 for PI Planning can serve you as a crutch. And the Impact Effort Matrix assists you to manage time more efficiently.

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.
