Agile Analytics 6.16 — Trial-reminder signup is now automatic
v6.16 removes a step from the trial-reminder signup flow. The prompt previously asked you to retype the email Azure DevOps already knows about you and click Send; v6.16 subscribes that address for you and shows a 60-second visible Undo banner instead. v6.16.1 also removes a duplicate feedback card from the dashboard so there's one clear path to reach us.

v6.15.6 is a small UX release that makes it easier to reach us from inside the extension. A persistent 👋 Ask Henry button now lives in the dashboard top bar, and the Help & Support page got reorganised from four cards into three clearly distinct paths: Ask Henry, Book a Call, Rate Us. Same CTA is now on the homepage and pricing page of the website too.
Read article →Agile Analytics 6.15 — smarter empty states, sharper project filtering
v6.15 is a focused release of customer-asked-for refinements. A new "Limit to current project" toggle on Live Stats and Sprint Summary scopes metrics to one project instead of every team across the org. The Cycle Time view's empty-state on brand-new ADO setups now reads as a friendly welcome instead of suggesting your workflow mapping might be broken. And Configuration sidebar badges clear in real time the moment an admin approves a user or saves a mapping change — no more page reloads to confirm an action worked.
Read article →Agile Analytics 6.14 — we've broken the language barrier for workflow mapping
6.14 is the release where workflow auto-discovery stops being an English-only tool. Italian, German, and French now classify out of the box, alongside the English / Spanish / Portuguese we already had. We also added a clear, in-product signal the moment a state name doesn't fit — no more silently wrong dashboards — and a one-time "want to re-run discovery?" prompt for teams already on an older mapping. Most of this came directly from customer feedback over the last six weeks.
Read article →Agile Analytics 6.11.2 — Feature Analytics scope filter, Linked PRs in User Metrics
v6.11.2 ships two reporting fixes customers raised during evaluation and adds zero new Azure DevOps permissions. Feature Analytics now respects the team scope you save in Configuration → Feature Filters end-to-end — the feature list itself trims to scope, not just the per-team aggregate table and Completed-SP totals. User Metrics gains a new Linked PRs column that counts pull requests attached to each user's assigned work items, populated from work-item relations so the upgrade is silent — no admin re-authorisation prompt. PR comment counts remain unavailable in this build and now render as an em-dash instead of a misleading zero.
Read article →Agile Analytics 6.7.0 — Per-seat awareness, signed extension auth, and reliability hardening
v6.7.0 brings the in-product side of the per-seat pricing model we rolled out on the website in May: a soft seat-usage banner appears in the hub when an org is over the limit for its tier, with the existing license remaining fully active. Behind the scenes, every license and telemetry call now travels with a JWT signed by the extension's own certificate (Microsoft's recommended auth model), and a stack of resilience fixes since 6.6.1 — chunk-error recovery on stale tabs, tighter input handling at every license endpoint, and a three-layer migration safety net. Founding / Annual / Monthly customers keep their existing plans byte-for-byte; nothing about your subscription changes.
Read article →Agile Analytics 6.6.1 — Vacanti-style flow analytics: bands, signals, and density
v6.6.1 brings four flow-metrics upgrades at feature parity with the analytics suites coaches use in Vacanti / Wheeler workshops — without changing where you go or what you click. Cycle Time and Aging gain shaded percentile bands so the distribution is legible at a glance, and two new views land in Measure: Process Behavior (Wheeler XmR / SPC chart that separates routine variation from genuine process signals) and Cycle Time Heat Map (2D density of completion week × cycle band). Every change is additive — zero impact on existing data, mappings, or settings.
Read article →Agile Analytics 6.5.9 — GitHub Copilot in AI Metrics, AIIP thresholds, and admin email capture
v6.5.9 lands three things customers asked for: a GitHub Copilot tab under Configuration → Admin so AI Metrics auto-connects on load (no more per-session Connect click), low/high AIIP thresholds with an optional Slack/Teams webhook, and a one-time, org-scoped admin email auto-capture (disclosed in the welcome modal, opt-out via Privacy). Plus a stack of behind-the-scenes licensing reliability fixes since 6.5.3.
Read article →Agile Analytics 6.5.3 — Better Workflow Mapping for every Azure DevOps process
v6.5.3 makes Workflow Mapping smarter: it reads your project's actual ADO state names (Agile "Active", CMMI "Resolved", Basic "Doing"/"To Do") and seeds the mapping accordingly, so Cycle Time, Flow Efficiency, and Monte Carlo render real data the first time you open them. Plus quieter handling of transient licensing-service hiccups in Configuration → License.
Read article →Agile Analytics 6.4.1 Release Notes — Privacy-safe usage telemetry, by allow-list
Versions 6.4.0 and 6.4.1 land the privacy-safe usage telemetry we've been talking about for a while: ten allow-listed event names, allow-listed property values, no work-item content, no user identities. The extension records what was used — not what was in it. The server rejects anything that isn't on the allow-list, so even a future bug in the client can't leak content.
Read article →Agile Analytics 6.3.5 Release Notes — Next Sprint Planning, cycle-time honesty, and AI Metrics improvements
Version 6.3.5 makes Next Sprint Planning available to every customer under Plan → Next Sprint Planning — a capacity- and Monte-Carlo-aware forecast that answers "what should we commit to next sprint?" from the team's own history and the upcoming sprint's Azure DevOps Boards capacity. The release also tightens Cycle Time so the chart admits when the data is unreliable instead of reporting a false floor, and bundles three customer-feedback features for AI Metrics.
Read article →Agile Analytics 6.2.3 Release Notes — Per-type Cycle Time, clearer item-type categories, and a warning for unmapped types
Version 6.2.3 adds per-type filtering inside Cycle Time when multiple Azure DevOps work item types share an analytics category, renames the categories to Planned Work, Bugs, and Exploration, and shows a warning when work items have ADO types that aren't mapped into any category. Since 6.2.0 we've also shipped first-install auto-detection of work item types and a simpler Workflow Mapping tab.

Version 6.1 ships a new Flow Efficiency view, Service Level Expectations on the Dashboard, and auto-discovery of custom Azure DevOps workflow states. Patches 6.1.1 and 6.1.2 add lenient state-name matching, a heuristic fallback for fresh installs, and clearer empty-state diagnostics.
