Search for Issues by Epic Name

We are pleased to announce that you can now find issues in a given epic by simply using the epic's name in your JQL search, e.g.:

"epic link" = Jupiter

You can still use the epic's issue key (as previously) if you wish, e.g.:

"epic link" = ANERDS-317

Please note that your administrator will need to re-index JIRA before you can search by epic name.

The Epic Report shows a list of complete, incomplete and unestimated issues in an epic. It is particularly useful for planning work for an epic that may extend over multiple sprints.

Exclude Weekends from Cycle Time calculations

By (very) popular request, you can now exclude weekends from your cycle time (that is, the time taken to resolve an issue).

For most teams, including the weekend will artificially inflate your actual cycle time. So now, when viewing the Control Chart, you can simply choose to exclude your non-working days:
