Ability to edit the default Aha! Scorecard

As a company that have just recently started to use Aha! quite extensively we're seeing some issues with the default Aha! scorecard.

Some products and product lines have taken it to heart out of the box, and score all their features in big sessions.

But, now we would like to add a risk parameter to the scorecard. This cannot be done without building a new scorecard and then changing from the old default Aha! score to the new scorecard. When we do this we will lose all existing data in the default aha! score, which will generate more work for us when migrating to the new scorecard. This is less than desired. It might be that I have missed existing functionality, and apologies if that is the case.

    Thanks for the idea!

    Going forward when you create a new workspace, we will automatically add the default scorecard for you to edit further.

    I have another use case for editing the default Aha! Scorecards - not to change the parameters, but to provide instructions in the hover over to users on HOW or WHEN to use it. Also, to rename it to something more descriptive instead of Aha! Score, such as WSJF, or whatever method is being used.

    Just as a suggestion for a quick fix for new users. A little warning text next to the Aha! score saying that "If you want to make your own metrics for scoring backlog items, please note that the Aha! score is not possible to edit. You will have to create your own metrics and then assign it to each product/product line" something like that

    Hi there, as noted, it is not currently possible to edit the default scorecard. We will continue to monitor customer feedback on this idea. 

    There is one suggestion for migrating to a new scorecard. We recently added the ability to import scorecard metrics via CSV. Before changing your score, I would suggest exporting a list report that includes the individual metrics for the features that have already been scored. You can then reimport those once you have updated the scorecard to use your new custom scorecard. 

    This article provides more details on how to update existing features via CSV.
