Development status in JQL
Answer critical development questions or do reporting on the fly with the 'Development Status' from Bitbucket or GitHub shown in basic search or by JQL.
Find work faster with quick search
Search just got smarter. Start typing in the search bar to find relevant issues, projects, and recently viewed items. Or simply click on the search bar to see recently viewed issues and projects—no typing needed.
Unique priorities per project
Global Admins can now assign priority schemes per project, creating more clarity for teams to assign the right priority to their tickets and speeding up the process between planning to work. A new REST API for priority schemes helps admins manage priority schemes programmatically.
Backlog for kanban boards
Teams working in kanban now get a dedicated backlog view, allowing them to plan and prioritize work still in the planning phase in a separate space from the development phase. Also, there's a panel with version and epic filters so issues stay organized and easy to find.
Set your goals
Add a goal for each of your sprints to keep your team focused. Improving performance, fixing bugs, or perhaps reaching for the stars? It's all up to you. Whatever goal you choose, it will be displayed below the sprint name in the backlog, and on your board and reports.
Rename and delete sprints
Whether it's because of a typo, a scope change, or a sudden outburst of creativity, you can now change a sprint's name, or even delete a sprint completely. This is useful when users have created test sprints, or a sprint by mistake. Instead of keeping these sprints in your project, which might affect your reports and future planning, just delete them and never look back.
