This article is relevant in case:
Multiple ARTs (a Solution Train) is added on step #2 Teams
The PI Session is being prepared for a Solution train with two or more ARTs
Make sure that you first complete the ART Mapping. For a Solution Train session you must configure the mapping between Jira projects and ARTs in piplanning.io in your ALM Connection configuration.
Jira Backlog Board Sync
You can add one or more Sticky Types (optionally mapped to a Jira issue type) to the backlog board. As the Jira projects are already define in the ART-Mapping, you only need to specify the Issue Type, optional WSJF field, and any fields you want to use to distinguish issues in.
Number | Description |
1 | The name of the Sticky Type |
2 | The Jira Issue Type which is mapped to this Sticky Type. You will get a warning if the selected Issue Type is not available in all the projects defined in ART Mapping. You can continue with the warning - but the app will not be able to sync new stickies to this project in Jira. |
3 | This is optional. Specify the Jira field which represents the WSJF value / ranking of the stickies on the ART Backlog Board. The field will be ignored if this field is not available for all the issues in all the projects defined under ART Mapping. |
4 | Use these fields to identify this PI’s backlog issues in Jira. You may, for example, use a label such as |
NOTE: If no Jira Fields are specified, all issues in your Jira project (that match the selected type) will be pulled into the PI.
Filter by Jira Fields
You may not want to have all the Jira issues of a project on the ART Backlog Board. In that case, you can choose to only sync issues that have a specific value for a given field. For example, you could give the issues a label (eg. “PI6”) or Fix Version (eg. “1.12”).
The following field types may be used to filter session backlog items:
Labels
Versions
Components
Single-select (customfield)
Multi-select (customfield)
In the example above, only Jira Issues with the Label "PI24.1" AND Fix Version “24.4” will be synchronized on the ART Backlog Board.
An example of Jira Fields available on the Jira Project that can be used to filter the ART Backlog Board for the specific PI Session.
If you specify multiple Jira Fields, OR multiple values in a field (comma-separated), they will be added together using an AND statement. For example, using the Labels PI6, PI7 will only display Epics which have the Labels PI6 AND PI7 set in Jira.
Keep in mind
Jira Labels do NOT have whitespace characters. Labels containing "/" cannot be used in the Jira Labels field as a filter.
Ranking
The sticky notes on the ART Backlog Board are ranked by the value on the bottom right of the Sticky from top left to bottom right.
You can rank them by any numeric field, which is available on the Jira Issue Screen of your synced Issue Type.
Team field synchronization
Sync the team field
You may want to make sure that a Features is pulled on the ART Backlog Board with a predefined team in case you already assigned a Team to that Feature before PI Planning.
To do so, please refer to the Jira Backlog Board - Team Field Sync article
