Action Items ⚡

Continuous improvement starts by choosing the most pressing action items and tracking their execution and impact. We are excited to ship our brand new action items️.

They got a new look, a nice dedicated spot on the board, and action items from previous retrospectives are now also available on your current board!

To add an action item simply click on the ⚡ icon on the relevant card.
When starting your next retro, no need to add an "action item" column! Open the action items drawer, review action items from previous retros, and add new ones as required. Read more here.

Sprint Monitor Updates

Analyze your Sprints to identify trends, track improvements and uncover stumbling blocks. Save time on technical preparation and focus on what's critical - getting better. With the latest update to the sprint monitor you can learn which bugs were added mid-sprint. You can also analyze "done tasks by type" and have a more focused discussion with your teammates.

Bugs, bugs, bugs

• 🐛 Scrolling the page while dragging a card should not take us to "another dimension" and just work as expected.
• 🪲 Users should see their votes, even if votes are hidden.
• 🐞 Dragging cards while sorting by votes will work now.

‍

Facilitated Icebreakers

Get your team talking with an icebreaker question. Try a randomly selected question at the start of the meeting. Create a positive atmosphere for your team and build psychological safety. Click the ❄️ in the board to give it a spin.

Sharing Boards

Sharing is caring, and now it's even easier to bring colleagues on board. From the board, click on "Share Board" and start collaborating.

Jira Cycle Time

Cycle time refers to the time elapsed between the moment a task is started, and its conclusion. It is a measure of how long it takes from when work starts on an item (story, task, bug, etc.) until it is delivered. Cycle time indicates how long (in calendar time) it takes to complete a task.

Now you can get a full breakdown cycle time per status and task in the sprint. This can give you a better indication of what you spend the majority of your time on. Is it coding or review time? Maybe you need to allocate more resources for the review or refresh the priorities?
