This release brings you our most requested feature to date - the ability to add an additional hierarchy level that sits above an epic on the Story Map.

We’re really keen to hear your feedback on this release, so please share any thoughts/questions/suggestions for improvement to support@easyagile.com

Other bugs and small improvements

• We fixed a bug where the estimate statistics on swimlanes weren't updating when sending an issue to a sprint using the context menu
• We fixed a bug where saving a view with an assignee resulted in "Unknown user" in the filters menu. This occurred as a result of Atlassian changing the assignee API we had previously used to fetch the assignee

This small improvement release introduces a 'filter visible issues' search option to the header. This enables you to quickly narrow down the story map to only those issues you are most interested in *right now*.

You'll also see a revised (and tidier!) header with a new 'Filters' menu that brings together all of the filtering options. High time we did that, thanks for your patience.

And thank you for your ongoing support and feature suggestions.

Finally, if you are at Atlassian Summit in Las Vegas next month be sure to swing by our booth and say g'day.

In this release we have made it easier to navigate around a large story map by introducing the ability to drag and scroll around the story map (similar to Easy Agile Roadmaps).

We have also improved the performance of the story map for large backlogs, and fixed an issue where time estimate statistics would use inconsistent formats (e.g. pretty vs hours).

In version 5.1.2 we changed the way that we retrieve issues in unreleased versions - to improve performance we scoped the request by projects present in the agile board filter query. Unfortunately we had a conflict where project keys were reserved JQL keywords ("AS", "IN", etc).

In this release we retain the project scoping when we retrieve issues in unreleased versions, yet we use the project ID instead of the key.

Huge apologies for this bug.

This small improvement release introduces a 'focus mode' that hides epics without related issues and collapses empty swimlanes. Focus mode makes it easier to navigate a large story map during backlog grooming.

Also in 5.1.2:

• drag issues into a collapsed swimlane
• selecting issues from unreleased fix versions is now limited to the fix versions of the projects included in the agile board filter which improves performance

Thanks to Max, Nicolas, Marcus, Rasmus, Matt, Hezi, Gerrie, Rene, Kemal, Jakub and Benny for their suggested improvements.

We saw a customer support request this past week where a Jira instance had more than one Rank field. While the Rank field is a 'locked' (i.e. managed) Jira Software field it is possible to add additional Rank fields, yet they are not respected by the newer versions of Jira Software so should not be used.

This update makes sure the official Jira Software Rank field is used on the story map.

This release fixes a bug which prevented closing the quick create issue card. It also fixes the order of sample epics created during onboarding.

You will now see a helpful link on multi project boards explaining why you cannot see Version swim lanes (for now).

A strange behaviour in the Atlaskit Dropdown component in IE11 was preventing being able to select the issue type or project when quick creating new issues on the story map. This made us take a closer look at the way we handle quick creating issues.

A bad side-effect of the old "quick create on text area blur" heuristic was that you could not use the keyboard to navigate to the project or issue type drop down. The 5.0.6 release resolves this issue.

Happy issue quick creating!

This release ensures the correct sidebar icon appears for Jira 7.11.

We fixed a plethora of bugs!

• You can now click to move the cursor in the quick create issue summary field.
• We now show the "Back to board" link on multi-project boards (as it's not possible to show the sidebar)
• You can now load the Story Map, even if you don't have the Epic Name field on the screen for the project.
• We show a nicer Story Map icon in the sidebar for Jira 7.10's new design.

This is a small improvement release following our major 5.0 launch.

Changes in this version include:

• Exclude issues from the Status Category Done showing up in a quick search in the backlog if they are not in an open sprint / unreleased version
• Fixed an issue where story map exports would break

Read the full release notes.

The story map now gracefully handles the absence of a list of projects returned from Jira. This occurs with 'complex' JQL queries in an agile board filter due to a bug in Jira: JSWSERVER-16172

We encourage you to vote and comment to show your support if that bug affects you.

In addition:

• estimate statistics now update when an issue is moved from one sprint/version to another in the Backlog panel,
• exporting a large story map (>200 epics) works once again, and
• a performance improvement when loading many epics and issues

Read the full release notes.

We had a regression in this release related to localised Rank fields (which was possible prior to Jira Server 6.2), for example 'Rang' in German. This is now fixed.

This release includes a known issue with Jira Server being unable to determine the projects from the saved filter, as detailed in this knowledge base article. If you experience this issue we encourage you to vote and comment on JSWSERVER-16172 to show your support for Atlassian to fix it.

We've heard from customers that they are using the story map more and more for weekly sprint planning and backlog grooming sessions.

For an effective backlog grooming session it is incredibly important to show issues that are and are not associated with an epic. Teams can then plan their sprints and versions in the story map even when work (like technical debt) isn't linked to an epic.

We're ecstatic to welcome the new 'Backlog' panel which allows your team to:

• See issues not already associated with an epic
• Search for issues via text summary or issue key
• Group issues without epics into sprints or versions for better sequencing
• Multi-select issues then drag and drop them onto the story map
• Apply quick filters specifically to those issues without epics for focused search results

For the complete release notes see Easy Agile User Story Maps 5.0 Release Notes.

The Easy Agile team is proud to announce the release of Easy Agile User Story Maps 4.1.1. Read the full release notes.

Two significant improvements in this release build upon our 4.1 release from November:

• automatic sizing of the card height
• full width sprint/version headers

With these powers combined you will have greater information density on the story map, enabling you to see more of the story map at a glance. All of these improvements are in service of more effective team story mapping and backlog grooming sessions.

We've also fixed a niggling (and hard to reproduce issue) with Jira issue indexing.

Now you can create issues inline on the story map for single project agile boards that contain issue types without required fields. You are no longer blocked waiting for Jira to do its thing! Simply create, create, create, until you're done.

Woohoo!

Read the full release notes for a demonstration.

Thanks for all your support and encouragement as we work to continuously improve the story map!

This is a minor bugfix release that addresses the following:

• an issue in a completed sprint which has been returned to the backlog (not a future sprint) is not shown on the story map
• Quick Filter is selected on load yet issues are still shown
• XLS export fails when agile board name contains : / \ ? * [ ]

Thank you to Nobukazu, Matthew, Juliane and David for flagging these issues. Apologies for the inconvenience.

Easy Agile's development team is growing! We've dedicated the latest iteration to the biggest bugfix release of Easy Agile User Story Maps to date.

This release includes some cool improvements:

• The story map will now scroll when you drag an Issue or Epic to the edge (or bottom/top) of a large story map
• Done Issues and Epics are now shown in a lower opacity, making them stand out less (or more depending on what you're looking for)

And heaps of bug fixes:

• The Epic completion progress bar is back! (sorry about that)
• Image exports would sometimes break due to not being able to load an issue type icon
• XLS export (Chrome only) would break if the board's name was greater than 31 characters
• The AtlasKit dropdown component was updated to fix an error in IE
• You can now search for existing issues to add to a story map on a board which is not ordered by Rank

Thanks to all those who provided feedback, and for your patience while we worked to fix these bugs.

This version addresses the following bugs:

• Creating a version fails
• Creating an Epic from the Jira header results in an error
• Creating an Epic with 'Apply quick filters to epics' applied doesn't show the epic even though it matches the applied quick filters

Thanks to Joanne for bringing these to our attention.

This release helps users to resolve the dreaded "Duplicate key error" which hampers a lot of older Jira instances which are affected by a faulty version of the Jira Software sample data generator.

• Zooming out in Safari and full screen mode now work as expected.
• Users are now notified if they are not logged in and try to perform an action.

Thanks to Nicolas and Chris for bringing these bugs to our attention.

This release fixes an error that occurred when exporting the story map as an Excel document in Google Chrome.

Thanks to Cem, Simon and Matthew for pointing out a few bugs.

• Done issues in future sprints are displayed and the associated sprint statistics are correct
• Epics appear on the image export
• Assignee avatars are shown

This release fixes two bugs with scrolling.

• Issues remain aligned under the epic when scrolling to the far right of the story map
• Vertical and horizontal scroll bars are now shown when a Jira announcement banner is enabled

Thanks to Ann, Rick and Matthew for their feedback

This release fixes two bugs with Quick Filters.

• Even when Apply Quick Filters to Epics was applied, all epics remained visible
• We now show a helpful error when a selected quick filter causes a JQL error (i.e. when it references a version whose name has since changed).

This is the biggest release of Easy Agile User Story Maps since it was originally released in March last year. We've optimised the story map to be factors faster for large story maps. You can read more about it here:

https://blog.easyagile.com/from-mvp-to-product-a-better-story-map-283feba056d9

Thanks for all of your amazing feedback making this product the success it is today!

Fixes the integration with our new support system.

• Epics are now considered "Done" if they either have Epic Status of "done" or Status Category key of "done".
• Reordering of versions on the story map works as expected, even when you have many unreleased versions.
• Image export now shows Done issues and Epics with the familiar strike-through look.

Thanks to Otmar, David, Amin, Mario, Michael, Christian, Piotr, Tom, Lou and Nobukazu for the amazing feedback making this the most requested release of Easy Agile User Story Maps to date!

This release fixes a bug where searching for closed issues on Jira 6.4 through 7.1 would cause a bad request error on non-english Jira installations. We were asking for the "Epic Link" field by name, which on some non-english Jira instances can be translated into the local language. We now request this field by its ID.

Happy story mapping and sorry for any inconvenience caused!

Thanks to Badreddine for the help in isolating this issue. :)

Minor update to improve version edit experience in Internet Explorer

Wow, what a fun release!

We’ve rolled up a few new features into 3.7 including the ability to:

• edit version details
• reorder versions
• versions are now shown in the same order as the Releases page
• export as an image
• export as an XLS (beta)

We also squashed a few bugs, the big one being the inability for a user with a language other than English set to search for an issue in the 'Add existing' dialog. It was due to a localised response from the Jira API which we didn't anticipate. Clearly a big bug - apologies for the inconvenience caused.

Finally, a huge thank you to Vivien, Laura, Emmie, Robin, Colette, Sion, Anh, Aaron, Ricardo, Kevin, Bill, Oscar, Steve, Kurt, Duncan, Javier, Rob, Ali, David, Rico, Steven, Peter, Alexandre, Jeffery, Nobukazu, Jesper, Jan and Kazunori - you folks are awesome, the feedback is awesome, thank you!

Minor improvement to the way we find issue types, minimising the chance of an error.

The story map now remembers your quick filter selections between loads.

Thanks to Otmar and Ed for this suggestion!

Minor release which ends our 2.x versions which were 6.4 compatible, in favour of a single release which works for both Jira 6.4 and 7.x.

Thanks for your support.

In this release we improve the way we handle complex JQL queries such as 'type in (Epic, Story) order by Rank'. In that example there is no project specified and Easy Agile User Story Maps needs to know what projects are on an agile board so we can display versions, for example.

In 3.5.7 we find the projects even when you are using a complex JQL query.

Thanks to Ken and Edwin for helping us investigate and address this scenario.

• Improved the way we retrieve Epics
• Order the results in the 'add existing' dialog by Rank

Thanks to Tobias and Rob for their feedback!

Over the past six months as the customer base has grown significantly we've seen more and more edge cases caused by various Jira configurations (phew, Jira is a configurable beast, eh?!). This release improves the way we deal with many of these scenarios.

Long story short, you should see less error messages and just get on with your work faster.

Thanks for your help and patience as we worked through these issues!

This release resolves an issue where we assumed there was always at least one project in a board's configuration. Thanks to Ed for the heads up on this one.

We also crushed a bug where changing the status of an issue (on Server) would hide issues in adjacent sprints.

• Browsing to the story map directly from the Project dropdown menu now works correctly
• We now show a helpful error message when we cannot access the Fix Version field
• Re-ranking Epics now works when completed Epics are hidden.

Thanks to Shannon, Robin, Andy and Seth for the help in highlighting these issues.

We heard loud and clear: you want to see the sum of the story points on an epic. We're happy to say this is now possible.

In addition to that you should see an improvement in the load time of the story map - making your story mapping and backlog grooming sessions more fluid.

We also squashed a few bugs. Sorry for the inconvenience they caused.

Finally, a huge thank you to Angela, Robin, Jessie, Shannon, Alex, @jwalpole, Mark, Renato, Chris, Josh, Mads and Shaun - you folks are awesome, we love the feedback!

This release addresses an issue with Jira 7.2 where the story map did not load for a Kanban board.

Big thanks to Rodolfo, Pavel and Sergei for bringing this to our attention!

Folks, this is a big release, thank you for your feedback - absolutely fantastic!

• It is now possible to view and edit time estimates on issues, and time estimates are used in the epic progress statistics
• Version/sprint/filtering options are remembered on a per story map basis
• Ability to create a new sprint, or a new version, on the story map
• There are now two filtering options for the epic row - "Show Done epics" will display those epics with an 'Epic Status' of done, and "Apply quick filters" will show/hide epics that match Quick Filters

We have also fixed a few bugs

• Unestimated count on epic stats uses total issue count
• Top swimlane header hovers over issues in fullscreen mode
• Issues float under sprint/version markers and issues without epics in Safari
• Creating an issue with 'c' keyboard shortcut on board doesn't show issue after create
• Editing an issue and changing sprint doesn't update issue position
• '+' characters in quick filters are not escaped

Sincere apologies. There was a bug which led to a conflict between keyboard shortcuts, this is now fixed.

Thanks to Tobias for flagging this issue.

Thanks to Nils and Mark for raising this.

Introducing:

• Quick Filters, use the same filters from the agile board on the story map for ease and consistency,
• Epic Progress Bar, each epic now shows the amount of work completed,
• Collapsible Sprint/Version swimlanes, making it easier to navigate and plan a large story map, plus
• clicking the issue key now opens in a new tab so you don't lose your place in the story map.

Thanks for all the fantastic feedback and support. We're now over 250 active installs and feel like this is a superb release to celebrate that milestone.

• Time estimates disabled on the story map until we bring them back in version 3.3 (stay tuned, not long now)
• Fixed a conflict with Agile User Story Map by Bauer IT (that was our fault, sorry folks)

The "User story map" link will now only display on the project summary page when that project has an associated Scrum or Kanban board.

Thank you to Saavaani, Галина, Daniel and David for bringing this to our attention.

Thanks to Daniel for the feedback.

We improved estimation and sprint planning which an agile team conducts towards the end of a story mapping session. A team can quickly estimate with inline edit on the Story Point field, all while sprint statistics update immediately. The Product Manager can see commitment sprint-by-sprint and ensure sprint workload is balanced. These improvements lead to more successful story mapping sessions.

'Done' issues are no longer shown unless in an active sprint. Many of you have indicated you want to track progress using the story map; we'd love more feedback on this so we can make it happen.

Finally, a huge thanks to Sabine, Anna, Dan, Vince, Steve, Esteban, John, Angel, Heiko and the teams at HND, ACA, Principal, Globant and Twitter. Please keep the feedback coming! (And if you're in the mood to leave a Marketplace review we'd love that too - thank you!)

This release speeds up your story mapping sessions as team members can now inline edit the summary of an issue. In addition you now have access to more keyboard shortcuts enabling you to quickly edit, assign, label, and action issues. Finally, by popular demand, your story map now displays all issue types (Story, Task, Bug, etc).

Thanks to Sabine, Angel, Heiko, Kai, Andres and Peter for their feedback!

Thanks to Christophe and Gerhard for their feedback!

This performance and bug fix release includes the following:

• Significant load-time performance improvement for large projects
• All Epics and Stories are now shown on large projects.
• Creating a new story will add it to the chosen sprint or version on the user story map
• Editing a story will no longer move it to the epic of the previously created story.

This release introduces a completely new user story mapping solution for Jira. After five years facilitating story mapping sessions using sticky notes, I was ready for something better. I wanted a solution that enabled the team to collaborate efficiently and hone in on the minimum viable solution.

We've received extensive feedback from our early access participants and we are confident this is a great story mapping solution. Like any good agile team should, we'll be responding to your feedback and constantly improving the product

We shipped a performance regression in 2.4.0. The cause of this regression was us requesting all fields for closed issues on Jira 6 instead of the subset of fields we require for the story map. This resulted in very large responses causing a slow-down for those with large backlogs on Jira 6.

Apologies if this had any impact on your story mapping sessions. Stay tuned for more performance and usability improvements in the near future.
