Description - The process of planning an iteration on the Backlog tab of the New Experience is not intuitive and causes a lot of problems when trying to respect a teams capacity when planning an iteration.

 

Why is this feature important to you - Users must be able to easily see if stories selected exceed the total iteration capacity during the planning of an iteration in order to respect the teams capacity. This will also make it much easier for user to properly plan iterations without having to go back and forth through pages in Workfront.

 

How would you like the feature to work - When a user wishes to plan/create a new iteration from the Backlog tab, the user can click on the "Plan Iteration" button and a new section appears above the list of stories. The user can enter the necessary iteration information (name, start date, end date, focus, capacity, and goal). The user can also see in the same section the total capacity available for the iteration (capacity x focus). The user can then go through the list of stories and check/uncheck work. If the user selects stories that exceed the total available capacity for the iteration, the stories that exceed are highlighted in red in the backlog. Bring back the previous Workfront behavior as shown in the video on the following Experience League page - Plan and create an iteration | Adobe Workfront.

Current Behaviour - When a user wishes to plan/create a new iteration from the Backlog tab, the user must first select work items, then click the "Plan Iteration" button. The "Plan Iteration" dialog box appears where the user can see if they have selected too many/little stories for the iteration (based on team capacity = total points). If the user has selected too many/little stories for the iteration, they must close the "Plan Iteration" dialog box in order to deselect/select stories.
