Surveys (Beta)

January 8, 2025

MS Teams Integration (Beta)

Haystack’s MS Teams integration sends real-time alerts for blockers, progress, risks, and SLAs. Alerts include issue status, bug SLA risks, PR link issues, sprint overcapacity, mid-sprint reviews, cycle completions, release notes, and epic completions. Interested teams can reach out to support to have it enabled. To integrate, go to Settings > Integrations > Alerts and click Connect MS Teams.

Dynamic End Date in Reporting

You can automatically update the 'End Date' for your reports. By setting a fixed 'Start Date' (e.g., October 1st), the 'End Date' will dynamically adjust to today's date.

Improved

  • Expanded Date Range for Epics (Beta): The Epics view can now include the option to filter data by the past quarter. Reach out to our support team to enable this functionality.

  • Improved User/Deployments Management: A search box has been added to manage Users and Deployments, along with the ability to change a user's full name and sort by name or access level.


Sprint Completion Rate metric without injections

November 19, 2024

Now you can track Sprint Completion Rate excluding injections, which we called Commitment Reliability.

We also added Commitment Reliability (Issues) and Commitment Reliability (Points) as a metric option to Metrics and Reports.

New

  • User settings added ability to change user names

  • User settings added search through the list of invited users

  • Deployments added search through the list of services


Q3 summary

October 9, 2024

Filter by no value

You can now filter by property values that are empty. This feature is available for all properties that can have empty values across the app.

Improveed

  • Epics calculation Epics are included in the metrics and reports calculation even if they are not added to a sprint.


Hide GIFs from alerts

September 19, 2024

While GIFs in alerts provide more fun during your working hours, we realized that if you use Alerts for a long time, they become less exciting and more of a distraction. If you want to hide GIFs from the UI, do it in Team Settings -> Alerts -> Show GIFs (at the bottom of the page).

Improved

  • Settings we have hidden the "Show member's work outside of the board" in UI and enabled it by default.

  • Integrations new UI when you integrate Jira. Now it should be easier to understand how to integrate your Jira.


Q2 Summary improvement

September 12, 2024

Improved

  • Q2 Summary We now hide the epics slide in the Q2 summary if you didn’t use epics for the past quarter


Labels for PR metrics

September 10, 2024

New

  • PR metrics labels Added labels for grouping PR metrics

Improved

  • Exclusions We now hide the excluded information when 0 issues are excluded

Fixed

  • Data fetching Fixed an issue where data fetching was frozen for some users during onboarding

  • Investments setup Fixed an issue where the priority field would be empty if "High" or "Highest" priorities weren't found in Jira, which broke the investments setup

  • Slack notifications Fixed an issue that caused removed Slack notification recipients to reappear when multiple entries were removed in quick succession


Faster log in

September 3, 2024

Improved

  • Performance Your account now loads faster after logging in

  • Onboarding Large teams (100+ engineers) can now set up their account without scheduling a call

  • SLAs settings We removed "time-sensitive issues" from the description in SLA settings to reduce confusion

Fixed

  • Investments Fixed a bug where manually selected investment categories were being overwritten by investment rules

Developer Experience Surveys (Beta) enables teams to gather valuable feedback about their development processes. This new feature combines with our existing metrics to create a complete picture of team health and productivity. Managers can now track both data-driven measurements and team sentiment in one place. Interested teams can to get started.

Dynamic end date is available in and

Go to team settings -> Sprint success metric, to enable tracking Commitment Reliability.
