Epic Timeline
A new view in Measure, next to Epic Analytics. Every Epic sits on one quarter timeline with a bar from its start to its end, its Feature bars one click away, a Today line, and its planned end (the Target Date in Azure DevOps) beside the pace forecast. An Epic whose forecast lands in a later quarter than its plan is marked at risk. Dates that Azure DevOps does not hold are derived from the Epic’s activity and labelled as derived, and Epics with no dates at all are listed as Unscheduled. A Planned vs actual table shows each Epic’s drift in days. CSV and PNG downloads stay on your computer.
Quality & Rework
Also new in Measure. Reopen rate is the share of items that left Done again, out of the items that first reached Done in that sprint. A move between two Done states is not a reopen, and items that end in Removed or an excluded state are left out. Time in review is the average days finished items spent in the review state of your Workflow Mapping; without a mapped review state it reads "Not mapped". Both are team level, finished sprints only, with the sample size beside every rate.
Since you were last here
The Dashboard now opens with a card that lists the measures that changed since your previous visit for that team, and says when a new sprint has started in between. The comparison is kept per person, as numbers only, in your own Azure DevOps organisation. An "Updated" time sits beside the header, and What’s new is one click away in your account menu. New views carry a "New" tag in the sidebar for 30 days.
AGAN AI on more views
AGAN AI now reads the numbers on nineteen views, with the previous sprint or period where the view holds it, and suggests questions built from those numbers. Dashboard, Sprint Summary and Retro Snapshot have "Summarise for stakeholders", where your browser fills in the figures so the model cannot invent them. "Why did this change?" is worked out in your browser, and Copy for AI puts the numbers on your clipboard for a tool of your choice. Nothing new leaves your browser unless you ask.
Workflow Mapping: keep "Dev Done" in its stage
A per-mapping switch lets admins keep states such as "Dev Done" or "Ready for Test" in their own stage instead of counting them as Done. It is off by default, so nothing changes until an admin turns it on. When it is on, Cycle Time, Flow Efficiency and the other views end an item’s clock at the first mapped Done state.
Improvements
Group seat rules, forecast history and the admin activity log keep their saved contents if Azure DevOps fails to answer during a save. Sprint At Risk and Carryover Risk alerts wait for the last fifth of the sprint. Overlapping personal and team days off count once in capacity. The Dashboard no longer says "live" on a finished sprint. Paying organisations stay unlocked for 30 days if our licence service is unreachable. The project and team pickers have a search box.
What you need to do
Nothing. Azure DevOps updates the extension automatically. Open Measure to find Epic Timeline and Quality & Rework, and the Dashboard to see the new card. Admins who want the Done switch find it on the Workflow Mapping tab in Configuration.
