While scheduling work for your teams, Portfolio for Jira will warn you if there are any misaligned dates in your plan.

Jump to:

Child issues starting before parent issues

If you set dates for issues that conflict with the dates of their corresponding parent or child issues, you'll explicitly get a warning message for it. This makes it easy for you to quickly fix any dates that may have been mistakenly updated.

This also applies to issues that use sprint dates as target dates.

Target dates clashing with due dates

If you set target dates for an issue that clash with the due dates coming from Jira, you'll need to modify these dates accordingly.

Sample warning when an issue's due date is earlier than its target end date

Adding issues to or removing issues from active sprints

If you're adding an issue to or removing an issue from an active sprint, note that this will affect the scope of the sprint in progress. In the Review changes dialog, a warning will be shown for such changes on hover.

Current date is past the target end date of an issue

If the current date at the time you're viewing an issue is already past the target end date of that issue, you'll explicitly get a warning message for it. You'll also be prompted to update either the status of the issue, or its target end date.

Using sprint dates as issue target dates

If you're using sprint dates as target dates for issues, these dates will be used when monitoring releases and issue dependencies.

Sprint dates and release status

If the sprint end date of an issue is past the assigned release date, the release will become off track.

Sprint dates and issue dependencies

The sprint dates will be used to monitor the relationship of issue dependencies.

In the example below, IOS-12 is blocked by IOS-15, which means work for IOS-15 must be completed so work for IOS-12 can start. However, IOS-15 is in a sprint that starts later than the sprint where IOS-12 is assigned to. The dependency badges will become red, to clearly indicate that the dates of the dependent issues are clashing.
