Committing plan changes
This page discusses the usage of Advanced Roadmaps live plans. If you're using the redesigned planning interface, see this page instead.
In Advanced Roadmaps, you can play with different scenarios before deciding to commit changes back to Jira. This lets you play out different scenarios in your plan, like having just 2 teams instead of 3 teams handling the work items during a specific period, and then you can see how this scenario affects your plan.
The changes made in your scenario are indicated by orange markers.
Each time you change something in your plan, a number appears in an orange bubble with Uncommitted changes, representing the number of changes you've made.
Reviewing changes in your plan
Depending on the results of these scenarios on your plan, you can then decide to commit to your Jira application, or discard these changes. Before committing these changes, make sure to review all changes made in your plan.
The changes made in your plan may be any of the following change types:
| Created |
|
|---|---|
| Updated |
|
| Deleted |
|
| Excluded |
|
