Does Jira Align has Cost Benefit Analysis(CBA) capability?
Asked by Hamza Ali:

Hi. I want to know if Jira Align support the cost benefit analysis capability at different levels. Or if there is any other way that we can perform CBA in the tool?

Could someone point me to the right documentation?

Thank you


Answers:
author: Tom O'Connor
body: [@Hamza Ali](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4965120) JA does not have any specific CBA functionality as it takes on more of an agile approach. However, you should check out the benefits and value tabs on the Epic details. This benefits tab can capture information and fields, similar to what you may be looking for with CBA. The value tab allows you to set values in some different areas and score the epic and analyze them against other epics. In addition to epic intake and prioritization, an organization can capture information similar to the outcomes of CBA.

Here are some screen prints of the tabs I mentioned.

Do we have any gadget or a plugin which can automate a Sprint review
Asked by Anuja Kumari:

We are having Sprint review manually now where the whole team discusses What went wrong and good with the Sprint looking at the Scrum boards in Jira . I find this task manual There are high chances that we might miss some important points due to human error .

Is there a way in Jira where we can automate the Sprint Review process


Answers:
author: Allan Maxwell
body: Anuja

The answer is Yes and you don't need a plug-in, although you may need your admin to enable "Team Meetings". We refer to the ceremony you described above as the Team Retrospective and it can be performed interactively or asynchronously. See the screenshot below.

Jira Align to Power BI connection
Asked by Raja Ravanan:

How do I connect Jira Align with PowerBI. I tried using the JA Rest Api but failing during authentication. Has anyone integrated PowerBI and Jira Align before? If yes, Can you provide insights on authentication?


Answers:
author: Raja Ravanan
body: Thank you Enio and Rich for your response. I am able to connect the authenticate and connect Jira Align API to PowerBI. Only drawback I see is, the api returns only 100 records. I am trying to build a simple Dashboard in PowerBI to view the usage of Jira Align Features by Jira Projects. I think my next step is to pull the JA records by batches/pages and build reports on top of it.

For API pagination, you can refer to this [article.](https://help.jiraalign.com/hc/en-us/articles/360048085774-10X-API-2-0-GET-Usage-and-Filters#:~:text=title%2C%2527AP%2527)-,Basic%20Pagination,-The%20top%20and)

This [page](https://help.jiraalign.com/hc/en-us/articles/360060894632-Supported-API-2-0-Query-Syntax) also has some good information about querying data using the API.


author: Enio Marques Junior
body: Hello Raja!

There's no way to connect directly to the cloud Jira Align database, but it's possible via Enterprise Insights (formerly Leo BI).

Enterprise Insights (EI) is an add-on service to Jira Align which enables access to a relational view of the customer's data. The EI database is effectively a data mart for Jira Align.

You can ask your TAM or EA for more details about this add-on.

If you already have Enterprise Insights, you can follow the guide below for SQL users' login (For Azure AD, you should use a different authentication type).

author: Rich Sparks
body: If you are going to use PowerBI for reporting, you should use the Enterprise Insights database. The Rest APIs aren't appropriate for the kind of reporting typically done through PowerBI or other reporting tools.

You can see this article here about connecting PowerBI to Enterprise Insights.

Hi All,

Is there a way to create RISK at Multi-Program Level for tracking, transparency \& visibility?

State color for a Story does not show up correctly under Backlog. How to fix it?
Asked by Vinay Sharma:

We have a Jira Align and Jira integration. A Story which has been completed shows correct state "Accepted" in Jira Align. However, state color is grey under backlog view. When I hover on the state circle it reads correct state "Accepted"![Screenshot.jpg](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/200157i8DAC9F33549C37D6/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screenshot.jpg")

Generic user account ?
Asked by Vincent Delannoy:

Hello everyone,

I wonder if a user account (full or integrated) can be a generic account, i.e. used by several people sharing a unique access code ?

My guess is that it's prohibited but I would like to find the rule in the licence terms and conditions.

Thank you for your help.

Vincent, from France


Answers:
author: Rodrigo Cortez
body: Hi [@Vincent Delannoy](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4950759) your assumption is right, user accounts are meant for individual usage and can't be shared by a group of people.

The [Product Specific Terms](https://www.atlassian.com/legal/product-specific-terms#jira-align-specific-terms) page refers to [Atlassian Cloud Terms of Service](https://www.atlassian.com/legal/cloud-terms-of-service), which states the following:

Estimate Story Points per person on Jira Align
Asked by Esraa Hasib:

Hi,

Does anyone know how can I know story points per person on Jira Align Iteration before I start it?


Answers:
author: Allan Maxwell
body: I do not know of any such option. Have you considered using Tasks to accomplish something similar?

comments: author: Esraa Hasib
body: Hi Allan,

Let me explain, while iteration planning, I have assigned the stories to the team members, and we estimated the stories by giving every story a story points based on Fibonacci series, then I wanted to see how many story points assigned to each member so that I can decease the load from stories' assignees before starting sprints, actually we have this feature on our Jira instance


author: Allan Maxwell

Unfortunately, there's no total results indication in Jira Align API yet, it just returns a list of results (max 100) without other metadata.

You can find a few more useful articles here: [Jira Align 10X: API 2.0](https://help.jiraalign.com/hc/en-us/sections/360008049974-10X-API-2-0)

Hope that helps :)

comments: author: Jason M
body: Thank you, it does help. "skip" is basically the same as "startat" from what I am understanding. I haven't fully tested but I think the main difference is that they would be off by 1 as in if you skip 100 you will start at 101 but if you startat 100 it will start at 100.


author: Kirill Duplyakin

User role tracking
Asked by Esraa Hasib:

Hi,

I want to track how long each user role uses my JA instance, Is there any kind of report or option on Jira Align to get this?

Thanks,


Answers:
author: Anthony Smidl
body: You can also export the People data into excel, create a column with a formula Today () - Column Cell for "Last Log In Date" and use excel pivot table for engagement by tracking days since last log in. It doesn't solve your question in how long when logged in, but is an indicator metric for engagement and adoption of the tool. You can check this each PI or Monthly to see what gaps might exist with your users.


author: Heidi Hendry
body: Hi Esraa,  
There's no role-specific reporting in JA.  

However, you might be able get the information you are after by using the API.  
[10X: API 2.0 -- Jira Align](https://help.jiraalign.com/hc/en-us/sections/360008049974-10X-API-2-0)

Alternatively, talk to your Enterprise Advocate about Enterprise Insights which provides visibility of the data, and you can then develop your own reports.

Answers:

body: I have not come across or know of any companies that want to integrate to Airtable. Jira Align does have an API that could be potentially used. <https://help.jiraalign.com/hc/en-us/sections/360008049974-10X-API-2-0>

We do have many companies that use Enterprise Insights to pull data from various systems together. <https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/align/bi>

What in particular do your stakeholders use Airtable for? Jira Align does have much of the features/functionality that Airtable has such as roadmaps, initiatives, features and objectives.

Migrating Issue ID from JIRA Cloud to Align.
Asked by Hopkinson, Peter:

We are migrating from JIRA Cloud to JIRA align.

1. Can I import my Issues?
2. Can I retain the issue IDs?


Answers:
author: Charles Johnson
body: [@Hopkinson, Peter](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4942174)

I wanted to provide a high-level distinction of the Issue Type migration or integration process:

**Migration**- If you use Issue Type in your instance that are defined hierarchically higher-level artifacts than a Jira Epic, you should have a plan to match them to Jira Align (Initiatives and Thems as examples). Jira Align provides a template that can be prepared for uploading.

**Integrations**- Jira Epics, Stories, and relevant Issue Types can be mapped in the Jira Setting configuration. Additionally, issue types used as additional Story Types can be mapped in the Jira Align configuration. Issues that are mapped in this process retail their IDs.


author: Tom O'Connor
body: [@Hopkinson, Peter](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4942174) can you provide some more details as to what you are expecting to accomplish?

We have a bunch of articles on the integration and how you can see stories in Jira with it's link to Jira Align and vice versa.

Impact of Sprint Automation Plugin in syncing sprints from Jira to Jira Align
Asked by Mit Tolia:

Dear Team,

As part of our initial conversation with one of our clients, have been informed that they have a plugin - Sprint Automation ([Sprint automation](https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__marketplace.atlassian.com_apps_1225720_sprint-2Dautomation-2Dfor-2Djira-3Ftab-3Dreviews-26hosting-3Dcloud&d=DwMFAg&c=eIGjsITfXP_y-DLLX0uEHXJvU8nOHrUK8IrwNKOtkVU&r=xyVmTsACry33artTSAqL3suUuyWgh1HjGNHjsEveS8Y&m=QJk5lDyEh-VCKRGztflCxpwguAmyw_MpSKcrNvrHA6MjChCVKCyzMVLH1lhy_mAn&s=Hvb4TbHCPrLZYkTL66d_QjVGxIhICZ9TytaEhs-IEEA&e=)) on their Jira cloud instance, by virtue of which the sprints in Jira get automatically started \& stopped.

My understanding is that this should not have any impact on the syncing of sprints from Jira to Jira Align, as long as each of the teams have got their own Jira boards and for every board, the sprint automatically starts and finishes off?

Wanted to double confirm if my understanding is correct here? i.e. if the client got Jira Align implemented, the connector would still be able to sync the sprints from Jira to Jira Align?

Having a parallel conversation with the client, of course to understand why do they need a plugin like this and actually not trust their practices \& the scrum masters to manage the sprints, post having a conversation with the team, rather than relying on a plugin like this.


Answers:
author: Tim Keyes
body: Hi [@Mit Tolia](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3603273)

<br />

Thank you for the question. Your understanding is correct. The connector would still be able to sync the sprints from Jira to Jira Align.

Pros-This could remove the margin of error making sure teams (boards) that share a Program Increment maintain the same sprint cadence so it aligns with the Jira Align anchor dates without mapping errors.  

Cons-If the automation is configured with the wrong dates every single sprint mapped between Jira and Jira Align will become misaligned. This wouldn't be that big of a deal but would take some time to clean up.

-Tim

Jira Question
Asked by David McBride:

What is the difference in Jira Align when I setup a new Domain Group vs a project designation. For example if I setup 3 Domains Red, Blue, Orange- how is this attached to projects?


Answers:
author: Tom O'Connor
body: [@David McBride](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4937526)

Domain Group is a not a default terminology in Jira Align. Could this be Theme Group that was changed to Domain Group?

Also, as far as your projects are you talking about mapping Projects from Jira to Jira Align? Also, there are Projects that we can use in JA for time tracking, but my assumption is that is not the project you are talking about.

<https://help.jiraalign.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000088453-10X-Jira-Integration-Setup#h_154a3eec-33d5-4caa-b35f-3049df9e1583>

We may need some more details, screen shots and information to provide more detailed answers.
