Jira Backlog Board - Team field sync

Sync the Team field on ART Backlog Item Features between piplanning.io and Jira

Updated over a month ago

Overview of Team Field Mapping on the ART Backlog Board

Team field mapping in piplanning.io enables the synchronisation of the specific field in your Jira Project/s that denotes Team ownership (assignment) of the ART Backlog work item.

For example, if a Team pulls a Feature from the ART Backlog, that Team value in piplanning.io can be synchronized with the appropriate field in Jira, and vice versa.

This article and the configuration for the Team field mapping applies only to the Sticky Notes on ART level boards (i.e. the ART level work items such as Features, Enablers, Epics, etc. synchronized with Jira)

Team field mapping for single ART sessions

Within your PI session configuration under Backlog Board you can find a separate Tab to do the team field mapping
