Version: 1.2.1

Version 1.2.0

SDLC 1.2.0 enhances the capabilities of the Sprint Planning widget. New capabilities allow to manage sprints across their life-cycle from creating a new sprint to completing it. In addition, some fixes have been made to the New sprint modal window.

New features​

Sprint management

Options to edit, cancel, and complete sprints have been added to the Sprint Planning widget. You can edit or cancel a sprint from the Sprint options menu. An active sprint can be completed by clicking the icon to the right of the state badge.

Edit a sprint

When editing a sprint, the modal window appears where you can change the start and end dates of the sprint, its goal, as well as release for completed tasks (if the project is related to the product development). Changing the start date is only available for new sprints. You can select a release in the Planning, Planned, or In progress state related to the product of the current project.

Cancel a sprint

When canceling a sprint, the modal window appears that allows you to distribute tasks in all states other than Canceled (canceled tasks remain unchanged). The following options are available:

  • Move to the common task list. The Sprint field of the tasks will be cleared.
  • Move to a different sprint. Select a different sprint of the same project in the New or Active state. The incomplete tasks of the canceled sprint will be moved to the selected sprint.
  • Create new sprint. This option is only available when an active sprint is canceled. A new sprint for the current project will be created after the confirmation. The incomplete tasks from the canceled sprint will be automatically moved to the new sprint.

Complete a sprint

When completing a sprint, the modal window shows the number of completed and incomplete tasks. An option for their distribution must be selected. The same options are available as when canceling a sprint. You can additionally specify a release for the completed tasks if the sprint project is related to the product development.

After the confirmation, the sprint is moved to the Completed state, the tasks in the Done state remain in the sprint and a selected action is applied to the completed tasks.

Other improvements

  • Sprint sorting: The records in the sprint list are now sorted by the creation date from the oldest to newest. If there is an active sprint, it is placed at the top of the list.

  • Deleting sprints: When a sprint record is deleted, the Sprint field is now automatically cleared for all tasks that have been added to it.

Integration of processes between the SDLC and ITSM applications​

Starting with the 1.2.0 version, a cross-product integration is available for the SDLC application. It is designed to establish connection between the processes of SDLC and ITSM applications and organize cooperation between the employees of the customer care team and the product developers. After the integration package is installed and configured, you will be able to:

  • Create defects from the incident form using a new burger menu item. The steps to reproduce, description, attached files and screenshots are copied into the created defect.

  • Notify the incident caller when a new or existing defect is attached to the incident they have reported and keep them updated on the progress of fixing the defect. Corresponding messages appear in the incident form activity feed when the following events occur:

    • One or more defects are attached to the incident.
    • A related defect is moved into the Development state.
    • A related defect is moved into the Released state.

  • Manage relationships between incidents and defects. For this purpose, the following elements have been added:

    • The Related defects field on the incident form.
    • The Incidents related list on the defect form.
    • The Related incidents field on the defect form (the field is read-only and hidden by default, use it to filter the lists).

The SDLC-ITSM integration will be enhanced in the future releases to accomodate for new cross-product integration scenarios.

The SDLC-ITSM package is supported by the SDLC application, starting from the version 1.2.0, and is compatible with the ITSM application version 1.12.1.

To learn more about the functionality and configuration of the SDLC-ITSM integration, see the documentation.

Fixes​

DEF0018283:

  • The logic for filling in the Start date and End date fields has been added to the New sprint modal window of the Sprint Planning widget. Now the fields are automatically populated according to the following rules:

    • Start date = the date of the latest sprint created for the project + 1 day (or the current date, if the calculated date is in the past or there are no sprints in the project).
    • End date = Start date + sprint duration, as specified in the project - 1 day.

  • Restrictions have been added to the date picker for the Start date and End date fields. Now only the current or a later date can be selected for the Start date. The dates prior to the Start date can no longer be selected for the End date.

  • The sprint duration label is now correctly displayed in the New sprint modal window.

  • You can now select a release in the Planning, Planned, or In progress states, related to the product specified in the sprint project.
