Target Sprints: This Feature is planned to be worked on from sprint6 (Begins: dd/mm/yyyy) to sprint6 (Ends: dd/mm/yyyy) on the Program Board. This discrepancy does not impact the Feature, it only means that your planned work on the Roadmap is different than the Program Board

Diagnosis

Warning message is on the Feature and is similar to:

Target Sprints: This Feature is planned to be worked on from sprint6 (Begins: dd/mm/yyyy) to sprint6 (Ends: dd/mm/yyyy) on the Program Board. This discrepancy does not impact the Feature, it only means that your planned work on the Roadmap is different than the Program Board 

Cause

The "Begin Work" and "Finish Work" fields in the Program Board view of the Feature are automatically populated to ensure initial alignment between the Feature, Roadmap and Program Board. However they can become misaligned with a change made in the Feature or in the Roadmap view.

• If the Feature’s Target sprints are updated from the Features grid, it will only show the changes in the Roadmap, not on the Program Board

• If the Feature's Target sprints are updated from the Program board, then changes are not shown in the Feature nor in the Roadmap

Solution

Check that the Target Sprints in the Feature match the Roadmap view of the Feature AND

Check the Program Board as this is usually where the problem lies.
