Program and Program Increment JQL Functions

In Easy Agile Programs 2.1 on, we introduced a Program and Program Increment custom field which is added to issues that have been scheduled in a Program. 

Our users told us that being able to access this information on both the issue view and via JQL was crucial for reporting on the progress and success of their Programs. 

Moving issues in/out of Sprints that are part of a Program Increment, will automatically update these new fields to reflect the name of their Program and Program Increment. This can be achieved by moving issues on the backlog, or within Easy Agile Programs. 


Using JQL to search for issues in Programs/Program Increments


"Program Increment"= "Program Increment Name" to pull a list of all the issues that have been scheduled in that Program Increment  

"Program" = "Program Name" to pull a list of all the issues that have been scheduled in that Program 

You can also use the custom fields together for more targeted JQL searching, or where there may be multiple Program Increments with the same name i.e Q1 FY20. 

"Program"= "Program Name" AND "Program Increment"= "Program Increment Name"
