VersionOne DevOps CenterThe recent ClearCode Labs acquisition will bring all the continuous delivery & automation power into the VersionOne platform. The unified DevOps offering brings the complete feature set of the entire software delivery platform and in addition the VersionOne DevOps Center. The VersionOne DevOps Center provides teams the ability to configure custom actions to be triggered within VersionOne workitems. Tasks such as setting up environments, building, deploying, testing, can now be triggered directly in VersionOne with a single click. VersionOne DevOps and the DevOps Center are currently offered in limited release. If you are interested in participating in our early adopter program, please send us an email at devops-eap@versionone.com

BudgetsBudget capabilities have been enhanced in the Fall Release with the ability to set budgets by Strategic Themes, new visualizations to better understand the budget makeup and progress against it, and more flexibility in setting the budget.
|
|
Some of the new budget features were rolled out in point releases to the Summer '15 release. | |
Multi-Select Custom FieldsA new custom field type was added to support assigning multiple custom values to a custom attribute. The Multi-Select field type now allows tagging items with multiple values, as well as filtering for those values on grids and boards using the More Filters button. | |
Kanban EnhancementsClass of ServicePrior to this release, Class of Service had to be configured as a custom field. Now, Class of Service is a built-in field, available in all instances. Having this field as a system field opens up our ability to use it in more views and reports in the future. Class of Service attribute on stories and defects allows for categorization of items into appropriate classes, based on business impact and cost of delay in order to manage your throughput by class. Class of Service is available as a board grouping option, which creates “swim lanes” on the board for each class. The default values for classes of Standard, Expedite and Intangible can be easily customized to match your process. Board Grouping by Portfolio ItemStoryboards can now be grouped by the parent portfolio item. Selecting Portfolio Item as a "group by" choice in the board configuration dialog creates a swim lane for each direct parent portfolio item for all the backlog items on the board. In addition to grouping by the immediate parent item, storyboards can be configured to group backlog items by any specific portfolio level, for example, Feature or Initiative. This allows for added flexibility when configuring boards. To learn more, see Customizing the Storyboard. Please note that this feature is not available in the VersionOne Team and VersionOne Catalyst editions. |

Workitem Cycle Time by StatusWorkitem Cycle Time by Status Report was updated to show cycle time by the following dimensions:
|
|
My Dashboard UpdatesThe list of available panels on My Dashboard was updated to include two new panels:
Both panels contain the same filtered options available to those charts in other location. They also include a Project filter which allows you to lock-in a Project for the panel independent of the global Project selector. Finally, you can add multiple instances of each panels and configure them independently. |

Core Reporting Updates | |
Project TimelineHave you enjoyed the Portfolio Item timeline and wanted the same thing for projects, program increments, or releases? After planning a release or program increment, would you like to know if the plan seems realistic? Are you tired of manually updating an external timeline? Have no fear, the new Project Timeline is here. The Project Timeline lays out projects across a timeline to show when they begin, when they end and their current progress. Zoom out to see wider spans of time, scroll to look further into the past or history, filter to view a specific layer of your project tree, or click to see details. The timeline presents an interactive display that puts you in control and allows you to see past delivery and future plans. What's more, the timeline presents a unique roll-up graph that shows the organizations past delivery and future plans from a project perspective, allowing you to:
The Project Timeline is not a replacement for the Project/Program Summary report located in the Reports menu. That report is still available. |
|
Release ForecastingThe Release Forecasting report has been updated with a new chart that simultaneously shows forecasted end dates based on optimistic, pessimistic, and average velocity. These velocity values are calculated from the visible historical data. This chart also indicates the end date of the selected project so you can compare forecasted dates to the planned end date. In addition we added the ability to forecast end dates based on total estimate or workitem count. Finally, the Team filter now applies to the entire data-set giving you the ability to forecast for a team. Not pictured, but soon to be available, is support for specifying the remaining estimate and manually entering a velocity value. |

Data Mart | |
Multi-Select Custom Drop-downsTo facilitate reporting on the current values selected in a custom mulit-select dropdown, the ETL program creates a bridge table for each mulit-select custom drop-down defined in the core product. The bridge table name is determined by concatenating the asset type (Issue, Story, Defect, PrimiaryWorkitem, etc) to the system name for the custom field. Each bridge table has two columns: one for the identifier of the asset and another for the identifier of the list value. Each row in this table represents 1 value relationship. | |
Workitem Broken By DefectTo facilitate reporting on Workitem currently Broken By Defects, the ETL program will create a Bridge table (Bridge.PrimaryWorkitemBrokenByDefect). This table has two columns: One that containing the identifier of the Workitem (Story, Defect, TestSet) broken by the defect and one containing the identifier of the defect. Each row in this table represents one defect breaking a workitem. | |
Multi-Select Custom DropdownsTo facilitate reporting on the current values selected in a custom mulit-select drop-down, the ETL program creates a bridge table for each mulit-select custom drop-down defined in the core product. The bridge table name is determined by concatenating the asset type (issue, story, defect, primiary workitem, etc) to the system name for the custom field. Each bridge table has two columns: one for the identifier of the asset and another for the identifier of the list value. Each row in this table represents one value relationship. | |
Workitem Broken By DefectTo facilitate reporting on Workitem currently Broken By Defects, the ETL program will create a Bridge table (Bridge.PrimaryWorkitemBrokenByDefect). This table has two columns: One that containing the identifier of the Workitem (story, defect, testset) broken by the defect and one containing the identifier of the defect. Each row in this table represents one defect breaking a workitem. | |
Other AdditionsTo facilitate richer filtering and grouping on date details for Create Date and Last Modified Date, foreign key columns were added between dimension tables and the date dimension (Dim.Date). | |
Analytics | |
Main Menu ChangesThe top level menu in Analytics has been expanded to facilitate focused reporting by organizational level. The new Menu Items are
Reporting at the Portfolio level is focused on tracking high-level business initiatives across multiple programs and/or organizations. Reporting at the Program, or Release, level is focused on tracking features across one or more products and/or releases. Reporting at the Team level is focused on tracking backlog progress of individual teams. The existing dashboards remain and are located under the new menu structure as follows:
| |
New DashboardsAs part of the new menu structure we added three three new dashboards; one for each level in the organization. Unlike the existing dashboards, the new dashboards only require a Project and/or Program parameter at the Dashboard level. Each panel available on the Dashboard contains panel specific filter and aggregation options. Additionally, all panels on the new Dashboards can be added more than once. | |
New Backlog Item GridA new Analytic Grid was added that contains Stories, Defects and TestSets. Using this Grid you can charts, tables, and cross-tab tables that represent the entire backlog.
|
|
Custom ReportingYou can now create Custom Reports to identify Workitems (Stories, Defects, and TestSets) that are currently broken by Defects and reports based on current values in multi-select fields. | |
Kanban EnhancemetsThe following dashboard panels in Analytics now support item-count aggregation:
