Releases

By pressing the Help Button now provides direct access to release notes, courses, documentation and keyboard shortcuts.

You can now see the avatars of the users which are also looking at the same board as you. If you click on or hover over the picture the name of the user will be displayed.

The color palette of sticky notes appears when you click the "Add new" button on the bar and hides when you click it again. Drag and drop the sticky note to the board. Pressing the color pops up the sticky note in the center of the board. The last chosen color won’t be set up as default anymore.

You can enjoy a smooth and snappy zoom in and out transition on the board. There is no lag when you have a lot (400+ items) of sticky notes on the board.

To search on the board for stickers use control + F as a shortcut on your keyboard. For filtering the boards for teams use control + T. If you want to filter for a specific sticky type press control + Y. Be aware: Depending on your system instead of “control” the shortcuts might only work with “option” or “command”.

When you need to look for a particular sticky note on the board, you can set up multiple search criteria at once such as sticky type, teams or stickers.

The accessible canvases have been expanded to include Customer Journey Map, ROAM Kanban, Golden Circle and User Story Map.

Now it’s possible to highlight sticky notes that are not assigned to a team.

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.
