    Product announcements

    • Time in state widget release: A speaker announced the release of a new time and date widget that helps identify process bottlenecks by showing aggregate and individual time-in-state data.

      06:17
    • Widget configuration options: The new widget can follow a view filter or use a custom date range.

      06:45
    • Upcoming widget features: Future updates to the widget will include options to show non-value add time (blocked/ready states), exclude non-work days, and support work item flow states.

      06:55
    • Supported artifact types: The widget functions with schedulable artifacts (user stories, defects, defect suites) and single portfolio item types.

      07:13

    Q&A

    • Board performance suggestions: A speaker addressed concerns about board slowness, suggesting the use of query tiles instead of multiple custom lists to reduce data rendering overhead.

      14:15
    • Blank navigation bar bug: A participant demonstrated an issue in which opening a link in a new tab resulted in a blank navigation bar, and a speaker advised opening a support defect.

      16:44
    • Managing multiple risk templates: A user asked how to prepopulate tags and fields for PI objectives versus standard risks, leading to a discussion on default templates and using AI tools via the MCP server to automate creation.

      21:50
    • Auditing missing fields with query tiles: A participant shared a setup using query counters and content blocks on a dashboard to audit whether required fields are filled out on stories.

      27:19
    • Visualizing dependency chains: A participant asked about viewing critical path dependency chains visually, and speakers noted that while native functionality only shows immediate dependencies, custom apps or AI vibe coding could generate dependency graphs.

      37:04
    • Grouping stories during iteration planning: A participant requested swim lanes to group stories by feature on the iteration planning board, and a speaker demonstrated using the left-hand backlog panel grouped by feature and release as a current workaround.
