Comparing alpha and current versions
This is the alpha version of Portfolio for Jira 3.0 — your sneak peek at the improved functionality that's just around the corner. As such, do note the following:
- Some features may not be complete just yet, as we're continuously iterating on these.
- Because it's an alpha version, the documentation will only be visible to you, our alpha users. You will not find any alpha pages in the usual page sidebar.
We've linked the table of contents below, so you can easily navigate to the alpha pages at any time.
The following table lists the important differences between 3.0 alpha plans and 2.0 plans.
| タスク | 違い |

プランの課題を表示する | Portfolio for Jira 2.0
In 2.0 plans, issues are displayed in a timeline at the top of the plan, with the work items of your teams displayed in a scope table at the bottom. Portfolio for Jira 3.0 alpha
In 3.0 alpha plans, you still have the scope table in fairly the same position in the plan, but we now call this the scope section. However, we've moved the timeline to the right of the scope section, and each issue has its corresponding schedule block. The schedule blocks are displayed in the timeline, according to how these are scheduled. |
課題の作成 | In 2.0 plans, there are several ways to create issues, and some of these ways are not directly obvious to users. In 3.0 alpha plans, we're redesigning how you can create issues, making these more obvious and more intuitive:
See Planning work for more details. |

課題のスケジュール | In 2.0 plans, you need to use the calculate functionality, to interact with the timeline itself. When you calculate your plan, Portfolio calculates the realistic scheduled start and scheduled end dates of the issues, and then creates a realistic schedule of the issues. In 3.0 alpha plans, we're simplifying the experience by using only one type of date — target dates, We're also letting you interact with the timeline itself to schedule issues. You can now manually drag and drop issues directly in the timeline, according to how you want to schedule these issues. You can also choose to make Portfolio optimize your plan for you and create a schedule of your work. But it's up to you to decide whether or not you'll accept the optimized changes made by Portfolio. 詳細については、「作業のスケジュール」をご覧ください。 In 2.0 plans, you can use the scheduling factors section, to understand how issues are scheduled off your backlog, as well as why some issues aren't scheduled as expected. In 3.0 plans, this section isn't available anymore. If an issue is not scheduled as expected, you can manually reschedule the issue straight away. |
進捗を計算する | In 2.0 plans, progress is calculated by the percentage of the estimates completed against the total estimates. In 3.0 plans, we now display progress more visually — in a status breakdown bar, which displays issues grouped by status category:
|
Updating changes in Jira | In 2.0 plans, you can choose which changes you want to commit to Jira, and which ones to revert. In 3.0 alpha plans, we're still iterating on how changes are updated in Jira. Currently, you can't choose which changes to save in Jira — you can either save all changes or revert all changes. We'll roll out the iterations in future releases. We do have workarounds for this in alpha. See Saving changes in Jira for the current workarounds. |
Zooming in and out of the work in your timeline | In 3.0 alpha, you can quickly see issues for a set timeframe, like 3 months, 1 year, or even a custom date range. This lets you focus on only the issues scheduled within the selected timeframe. You can also do this in 2.0 plans; however, you'd need to use the scheduled range filter — and this method wasn't too obvious to use. |
チームの管理 | There are no functionality differences between 2.0 and 3.0 alpha plans yet, when it comes to managing teams. The only difference is how you access the 'team management' page in 3.0 alpha plans. In 2.0 plans, you can manage teams by clicking the Teams view, at the top-right area of your plan. In 3.0 alpha plans, team management is accessed via the Team capacity tab above the scope table. We're currently iterating on how teams are managed in 3.0 alpha plans, so stay tuned. |
| キャパシティの管理 | In 2.0 plans, individual capacity planning is available. In 3.0 plans, we're still considering how capacity is best managed. We're starting with the following details, in the alpha version:

リリースを管理する | There are no functionality differences between 2.0 and 3.0 alpha plans yet, when it comes to managing releases. The only difference is how you access the 'release management' page in 3.0 alpha plans. In 2.0 plans, you can manage releases by clicking the Releases view, at the top-right section of your plan. In 3.0 alpha plans, release management is accessed via the Releases tab above the scope table. We're currently iterating on how releases are managed in 3.0 alpha plans, so stay tuned. |
| Managing plan access | 3.0 alpha plans have no way for you to control who can access your plans. If you need to change who has access to your plan, you will need to switch your plan to the 2.0 plan view. To do this, click |
