jira align sprints not in calendar order

Getting error : jira align sprints not in calendar order

not sure though what is the issue. dates and mapping look to be okay.

Answers:
author: Jennelle Stearns
body: [@manish a](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4541675) This is just occurring because based on the sprint ID numerical order (oldest to newest), the system would expect the dates to be flip flopped (oldest to newest). So on Sprint ID 3026, it is expecting the dates would have been 8/17-8/25 and Sprint ID 3028 would have been 8/28-9/8. If your sprints are mapping to the correct anchor sprint (far right), then you can just ignore the error.
Getting error: multiple jira align sprints are mapped to a signle jira align team sprint
Asked by manish a:

Getting error multiple jira align sprints are mapped to a signle jira align team sprint

though as per the screenshot you can see only one sprint is mapped to one jira align sprint. ![multiple jira align sprints are mapped to a signle jira align team sprint.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/283437i2B15B64F2A08547E/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "multiple jira align sprints are mapped to a signle jira align team sprint.png")


Answers:
author: Shannon Wright
body: I haven't seen that error in quite a while. The updates from Atlassian typically keeps that from happening now.   

The only thought I have is to check the anchor dates for the sprints that have been suggested and are currently mapped to the Jira sprints. There have been times where I've seen the anchor dates are not set up properly and are mismatched on the Align sprints. Take a look at this example screenshot. My Align sprint has one set of dates, but the sync(anchor) date

is a different time.  

Also, have you tried syncing the board again?

author: Mary Heather Cox
body: We are having the same issue, it seems to coincide with migrating Jira Server to Jira Cloud. Also, once the sprint mapping error is resolved (and it is rarely actually bc there's more than 1 sprint trying to map), the error flags do **not** clear and it is maddening!

My process for resolving is to make sure there not an extra scrum board pulling in the sprints of the JA connected board. Then I check to make sure all of the dates on the sprints on the JA connected board are right. Then I go in JA and delete the unlocked sprints, then in Jira Settings go to the Jira Intergration tab and sync the project and the board. 95% of the time this fixes the actual error. Doesn't clear the flag, but fixes the actual problem.

comments: author: Shannon Wright
body: That's interesting. I've seen some strange behavior after migrations from server to cloud, or merging multiple Jira instances to one.
is there a way to indentify in jira align which stories the sprint has been changed
Asked by manish a:

There are multiple stories for which sprint was changed from 216 to 217 in jira.

jira align is now considering these stories for 217 which is fine. but for the leadership they want to know which all stories that were planned for sprint 216 have got moved to sprint 217.


Answers:
author: Allan Maxwell
body: I feel like there should be a simpler way to do this, so this might be a last resort type of suggestion. I frequently want to generate a list of Issues for which there is NO built-in filter, so I created a Postman Script that does the following:

1) Retrieve some set of issues (such as Stories) using any criteria I need (Stories for ART 1, for example)

2) Search through the Audit Log of all the issues in the resultant list for a text string that indicates the change I want to know about (Iteration changed, for example)

3) Output a list that I can pull into some other tool such as excel.

can i get a report by category
Asked by manish a:

Can i get a report by category. I have four categories defined. I want to see for each sprint what % of the story points are getting planned for each category.

If there any dashboard available. One way for me is to download the list of stories and then filter the sprint and do a pivot on the category. wanted to check if something ready made is available in jira align.


Answers:
author: Jennelle Stearns
body: [@manish a](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4541675) If you are talking about the category field for a feature, there is a report that will show you features planned vs features accepted by category for the PI (not the sprint). It is also by count rather than points. However, you can click it and it will show you the specific features for that category. The report is called Investment by Feature.

can i change the sprints which are being considered for calculation of average team velocity
Asked by manish a:

For some of the teams previous sprint numbers are not correct which is leading to incorrect calculation of team velocity. is it possible to remove that sprint from average velocity calculations.


Answers:
author: manish a
body: Thanks. I tried it.

It updated the overide velocity but the average velocity in the program allocation report still remains the same.


author: Allan Maxwell
body: No, you cannot change the which 5 sprints are used to estimate the velocity for future Sprints. You can, however, override the calculated velocity if the sprint has not yet started. One way to do this is from the Story Backlog -\> Kanban -\> Sprint view.

Does Jira Align dynamically adjust live roadmaps and metrics when team members move?
Asked by Derwin Roland:

We are running Scrum teams but very project focused. We understand it is not best practice to move team members from one team to another but that is where we are today. From a capacity management perspective, when you move a team member from team a to team b, does Jira Align automatically adjust live roadmaps, target dates, to reflect the people changes?


Answers:

API access to Portfolio Epic Discussions
Asked by Ross Beehler:

Is there API access to the Portfolio Epic Discussions, also referred to as Comments in the UIs? I see nothing in the OpenAPI specification at \`rest/align/api/docs/2/swagger.json\` to suggest this is available, but not sure if it's hidden in some sort of structure that isn't named related to "discussion" or "comment".


Answers:
author: Rodrigo San Vicente
body: Hi [@Ross Beehler](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4959736) !

<br />

Thanks for posting this question on the Jira Align Community! It can help a lot of customers!

At this moment, no API Endpoints are available to retrieve Discussions/Comments from any Work Items.

You can get it via Enterprise Insights using a query similar to the one below:  
SELECT \* FROM current_dw.Discussion where \[FK Object Item ID\]=\[EPIC ID\]  
I hope it helps!

Is there a way to see the progress of an Objective over time?
Asked by Heidi Hendry:

Currently it's possible in the OKR Hub/Tree to see the progress of an Objective by seeing progress of the Key Results and the progress of Accepted Work Items.

But, is there a graph anywhere that shows the progress of the Objective score itself?


Answers:
author: Allan Maxwell
body: "View Trends"

comments: author: Heidi Hendry
body: Thanks for the prompt response.   
i could not see that for the Objective Score. Only for the Key Results.

How do I get to that view?


author: Kirill Duplyakin
body: Hey Heidi,

Just expanding further on Allan's response.

There is no averaged-out graph of all key results in one trend line as far as I can see, but the classic objectives details panel has the 'View Trends' button that Allan mentioned. View Trends shows all key result trend lines separately but in one window, so you don't have to click on them one by one.

Please check the 'View Trends' button next to Key Results list in the classic details panel. You can get to the classic details panel by clicking on the ??? more options menu in the details panel and clicking Go back to legacy experience.

I also discussed a similar topic with one of our SAs a while ago, they mentioned that from use case perspective it doesn't make sense for there to be a graph that averages all key results together because it can potentially distort the health of the objective by hiding a critical key result that's lagging. It can be convenient to have it, but it can also be counterproductive. I would recommend double-checking with our SAs about this since this was some time ago.

Thanks!

author: Tina Behers
body: No the chat field(s) from work objects, meetings, etc. are not available outside of Jira Align. They are not exportable either via the API or in the platform export function. They also do not appear in the (current) Enterprise Insights schema.


author: Peter Jessen
body: Hi [@manish a](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4541675) ,

My first thought was to use the rest api. Unfortunately, based on looking at the documentation for the rest api 2.0, it doesn't look like you can access the chat that way.

There may be another way, but I can't think of one off the top of my head.

How to insert an architecture review step into Feature creation?
Asked by SANDERS, MANDY:

I need to know if this is technically possible and the right words to use when speaking to my Jira Align administrators. I'm open to any and all suggestions about the best way to accomplish what we need.

When a new feature is created, I need the creator to indicate if the work is architecturally-significant. I've been told that a required field can be added to the feature for this purpose. (Though the team is a bit hesitant as they say this would use up their last custom field???) I would prefer that the creator be forced to answer 10 simple yes/no questions and that answering yes to any of them would result in architecturally-significant = yes, but we can attempt to handle that via education if necessary.

The next step is the one that I do not know how to accomplish... If architecturally-significant = yes, I need the appropriate architect to be notified so they can make sure a peer review occurs at the appropriate time. Each Jira project has an associated architect, but I maintain this list in a spreadsheet because I don't know how to do it in JA.

In a perfect world, a Jira story would be automatically created and assigned to the appropriate architect so they can track the status of the peer review.

In an even more perfect world, the feature would not be allowed to move to an Accepted status until the peer review is complete.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on how you would tackle this requirement.


Answers:
author: Peter Jessen
body: Hi [@SANDERS, MANDY](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5173123) ,

What you are describing is best addressed through process vs platform- or tool-enforced requirements.

You can certainly have your 10 questions in Jira and do the scoring there. That logic won't and can't go to Jira Align via the current connector.

On the Jira Align Side you could simply use the feature type to indicate an architecturally-significant feature vs a business feature. Jira Align has several feature types that can be used to indicate, enabler, architectural. non-functional, debt, etc. The list is not expandable or customizable, but you can choose to use the existing list as you chose.

You can use the process flow functionality in Jira Align to insert an Architecture Review step for all features for a program (team-of-teams). Architects for the program can be notified each time a feature flows through that step for review. You can't add logic in Jira Align (at this time) to route features to specific architects.

Regards,  
Peter

author: Tina Behers
body: Hi Stephanie!

No comments are not visible on the assessment results (spider web only). They should be retained within the system for the user's reference the next time they take the assessment. Each subsequent time has its own comments box, to help remind the participant why they scored the question as they did previously.


author: Edvaldo Lima

Can you please please share the steps you're using to add a comment to an assessment while closing it, I currently don't see a comment field available in JA for that.

OKR in Jira Align
Asked by Roman Mural:

Good afternoon!  

My name is Roman, I'm a project manager in a large company called NovaPoshta (NovaGlobal, NovaAirline, NovaDigital, NovaPost), we have about 30,000 employees and millions of customers.  
<https://novaposhtaglobal.ua/en/>

<br />

I have a question about your product Jira Align.  

There are a few questions we would like to have answered as soon as possible, as it is important for us to purchase licenses of this product and cooperate with you.

1) Could you please tell me how OKR cascading looks like in Jira Align (with examples)? What is the OKR hierarchy in Jira Align?

2) Is there any flow (standard functionality) for Jira administrators, what does it look like for admin rights, for adding new projects to Jira for large companies, maybe there is some kind of back office?

Please, is it possible to get answers at once with some visual and more detailed examples!

I will be very grateful for your response!

JIRA Align is a tool that helps you to connect to your Strategy (that will be set in JIRA Align) to your Execution (which is happening in JIRA)

It talks about the Why (Mission, Vision, Goals, OKR's), What (What will you develop and whatever you are building, is it aligned to your over all Why?) and When (Time, when are you going to deliver it, using the Program Increment) of your product and planning roadmap process.

In Short, JIRA Align is used more than just an OKR tool. It has lot of capabilities that will help organizations to successfully building roadmap and delivery.

Identify missed stories in the sprint
Asked by manish a:

in jira align program room i can see sprint 215: 131 out of 135 stories complete. How to know the stories which were actually missed.


Answers:
author: Jennelle Stearns
body: [@manish a](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4541675) one way you could do it is to go to the Stories Grid (not backlog) (New Nav - Items -\> Stories, filter by the Program and the increment (same as what you are using for Program Room) and State not= Accepted. Select More Actions and export the stories. Then filter on the column called Sync Sprint (select Sprint 215). That should show you the stories in that sync/anchor sprint that weren't completed.
