Don't remove lane in feature board view once shipped

When the view you use the most is the board view, I don't care about how many other places I could easily access shipped releases, I want to see shipped releases on the features board, I don't care for other places. This is preventing users from being efficient.

Not sure if it's me but I cannot see where or how to access the Shipped Release details in the Release page.. can anyone help? Also, I believe I should get a warning if I am shipping a Release and there is outstanding Features yet to be worked

Hi Austin, The Release-Details has potential to meet the Use Case, but to make it usable Release filtering is needed, and the Related view needs to be sticky as a user moves between Releases.

During planning and execution, users have access to multi-projects and all features in one view. A similar capability is needed for released Releases.

Thanks

It looks like this feature is requested by dozens of people and also has 80 votes - so clearly it's an important item. I tried going to Releases --> Details within Aha, and it's not giving me any of the info on which features/tickets were included in the release (only showing the release name and dates). Perhaps I'm looking at the wrong view - can you please share the URL where this info should be listed?

Re-enabling this would make it much easier on product managers to show their summary roadmap on the Epics/Features Board, reflecting what's been delivered YTD vs. what's to go.

Hi, Please re-consider allowing us to view shipped releases on feature board view. I have execs that want an easy high level view, they don't know how to use Aha, and they probably won't learn! But they like the feature board view. As a result, many of the product teams don't mark releases shipped, which is a challenge.

The Admin Response points to workarounds, but not the design decision to not let Shipped Releases be shown on the Feature Board even though there is significant customer requests to do this.

Also, adding the Release Settings filter to the Feature Board gives you a way to leave the default as not showing Shipped Releases, but letting users override that default by selecting "show shipped releases" on the Release Settings filter.

Currently, I can add the Release Settings filter, and select "show shipped releases". But the shipped releases don't appear (except sometimes, but they go away again). So this whole area is problematic.

Let us use the Release Settings filter: show shipped releases, and display the shipped releases in a different appearance to make it clear they are shipped. What is the benefit to the customer to not allow this?

You cannot "easily access Shipped releases" in a way that's convenient. The Feature > Details view shows only one release at a time, in isolation. It's an extremely poor substitute for seeing everything in one place (releases both shipped and not).

Until recently, I was not made to 'ship' my releases, so I had the convenience of viewing past & future releases all together, and could see the continuity of multi-Epic, ongoing development efforts. But the dictum has come down that we had to 'ship' past releases, and as soon as I did so and saw the result, I knew I had lost a tremendous amount of convenience - I couldn't even BELIEVE there was no way to get the old releases back on the board! Please, please, let us see shipped releases on the features board alongside unshipped! What could possibly be the advantage of preventing this?

Agree .. this is an important item. When we are planning the next cycle, we do want references to the last quarter or last half year of releases. By default, i understand not showing this but with the option of 'release settings' when we select the shipped release to be shown, it stands to reason that they be displayed. I can even understand from a performance standpoint, if the number of shipped releases that can be shown are limited - but having no option definitely impacts a seamless use of the Feature board.

This is very important when needing to review items that have shipped.

I agree having a filter to see these is important. This filter exists on the "Releases" > "Details" page, so I'm not sure why it couldn't be implemented here.

We depend on the ship status of features so, like others, I'm very disappointed this is marked as "Unlikely to implement". It's important enough to consider evaluating a different solution when the chance arises.

Please bring this back! I find it essential to see shipped releases, both for reporting and future planning reasons.

Really disappointed that this one is currently marked as 'unlikely to implement'. Whilst I appreciate there are other ways to get this data, they aren't as clear as the Features board. Aha is really strong at presenting the future, but being able to report on the past, terrible. Surely it is a small job too, just adding in an extra flag and associated logic?

Being able to compare shipped releases to current and future releases in the Epic/Feature board is useful. Our work around at present is to not mark a release as shipped.

When trying to balance a set of releases over time it is useful to have the past context to hand without having to resort to workarounds such as showing reports and tiling windows.

There is already a filter to allow the selection of which releases to show in the board. Extending this to include shipped releases feels like a quick win for those who this would benefit.

This is the one gap in Aha for me, I understand the reason as to why this is unlikely to be implemented, however I think the benefits to POs like myself outweighs this.

Yes, Enabling this feature can reduce the lot of task. Can you please consider this as a vote

Ability to see Shipped releases on the Feature board is extremely useful. It's very confusing that "Shipped releases are hidden in a number of views..." The help file indicates that you can see Shipped releases in a List and Gantt and Roadmap views, but these are more difficult to work with. I see this is unlikely to be implemented, but hope Aha will reconsider.

A feature Board for shipped Releases. In reality, there are times when product owners need to revisit, review and drill into linked Feature work for shipped releases. This is a major struggle and usability gap in Aha!. I have gone so far as reopening releases for analysis and then flipping them back to shipped. The feature listing is inadequate as it is not a Release view. A report is too cumbersome to maintain and inefficient to find/use. Arguably it is a bug as a user can add a filter for Release Status = Shipped, but nothing appears.

Here are a couple of solution suggestion: Add filtering to include Shipped releases, or a separate Shipped feature board. ...when we hit Shipped we don't necessarily want it to disappear from our planning view (Feature board).

There are many requests for this feature, please update us on why is the status 'unlikely', or your roadmap plans on similar capabilities.

The feature board is intuitive and easy to use. Adding a filter to show shipped releases would make it easy to see those features in an interface users are familiar with. Personally I couldn't get the Pivot view the way i wanted it and i detest the detail view.

Yes please! make it so!

Completely agree with this and the comments stated so far. The feature board is the main working view for product owners in our organization and it is very useful for them to be able to see recently released features in the context of the rest of the features in the release as well as while working with filters in this view.

Some of our product owners like working in this view so much that they have gone as far as avoiding shipping a release just to keep it visible in this view!

I'm of the opinion that the user experience should guide users' behaviour towards the right workflows and in this case it is doing the opposite.
