Enhanced SCM Processor for Faster and More Reliable Data Sync

The SCM (Source Code Management) processor has been upgraded to deliver improved performance, reliability, and scalability. This enhancement ensures faster synchronization of commits, better handling of large repositories, and more accurate KPI computation for the Developer dashboard.

 

Enhancements

  1. Active sprints can be exclude from BACKLOG KPI calculations.

  2. Trends derived from various tool connections are now time-aligned to sprint start and end dates for SCRUM based projects.

  3. AI summarization of Sprint Goals is now available.

  4. A KnowHOW project can now be configured using just the Jira project key.

  5. Local date and time support for global users.

  6. 'Scope Changes' are now reflected in the Iteration Commitment KPI.

 

Breaking Change

  • Unified KPI Data Model
    Legacy KPI structures have been migrated to a new unified schema. APIs and report templates using deprecated fields may require reconfiguration.

  • Trace Log Reset Required for SCM Processor
    With the introduction of the new SCM processor, existing trace logs must be cleared before initiating a fresh data pull. This ensures clean synchronization and prevents conflicts with previously cached data. Please clear all trace logs prior to enabling the updated processor.

Bug Fixes

  • Multiple bug fixes and stability improvements for a smoother experience.
