Digital.ai Agility

VersionOne is now Digital.ai Agility

Digital.ai recently announced the renaming of VersionOne to Digital.ai Agility. This name change is reflected in the Fall 2020 release and over the next several months will be reflected on the community site.

New Filters in the TeamRoom Backlog Panel

The Backlog panel in TeamRooms received several updates in the Fall 2020 release.

• Regardless of methodology, the Backlog Panel includes an option to hide forecast lines when viewing the unplanned backlog.
• Teams following an Iterative methodology, and planning work into future Iterations, often discover that the "unplanned backlog" does not contain the next most important items. In these environments, if the team is able to accept additional work into the current iteration, they often prefer to consider planned work first before pulling from the unplanned backlog. The Fall 2020 release includes a "Show Unplanned Only" option in the Backlog panel for Iteration-based TeamRooms. When this option is checked, the Backlog Panel contains backlog items that are not planned into an Iteration. When the option is cleared, the Backlog Panel contains backlog items that are planned into future Iterations. This improves visibility into planned backlog items and makes it easier to locate and move them into the current iteration when necessary. This change also removes forecast lines for existing Iterations. Additionally, in Iteration TeamRooms, creating Stories or Defects from the Backlog Panel no longer assigns the new item to the selected Iteration.

Important Field Enforcement in the Bulk Close Wizard

The multi-select close wizard on grids supports closing multiple items when Important Field Enforcement is enabled in a workspace. The new wizard identifies which work items are missing Important Field values and prevents closing until those values have been populated. As with the previous wizard, the new close wizard contains a grid that can be customized to include Important Fields so that Important Field values can be set in bulk. Additionally, each item can be opened individually to set values for the missing Important Fields.

Performance Updates

There have been several performance updates recently. These changes were made available in point releases as they were completed. Below is a recap of those changes.

• Delivery at a Glance (DaaG) queries were split and optimized to improve performance on page loads and updates.
• Grids on the Sprint Scheduling page were updated to improve performance when lots of columns are in edit mode.
• Roadmap Bucket views were optimized to improve rendering on page loads and updates.

We would like to thank everyone who partnered with us to identify and work through these issues. We sincerely appreciate your feedback and patience.

Other Enhancements and Updates

Digital.ai Agility

Select items included in this release which were completed since the last major release. Most, if not all, of these items were available in previous point releases.

Enhancements

• Milestones can be hidden on Roadmap Board and Timeline views.
