Three new tools have been added to the AI assistant integration (MCP), bringing the total to 17. In addition to retrieving project members and tasks, you can now update a PBI's story points, priority, sprint, and more — all in a single command.

The PBI list now fetches only the data it actually needs, making it faster to load. Task progress detection also now matches the Kanban column state (to-do, in progress, done), so PBI progress bars show values that better reflect reality.

The tooltip frames on Sprint Burndown / Burnup / Velocity charts, and the column background, card border, and hover state on the task Kanban, used to stay in light-mode cream even when the rest of the app was in dark mode. Now they follow dark mode through. Light-mode users see no visual difference.

When another teammate bulk-imports PBIs via CSV, every member viewing the same project now sees an 'Another user added N PBIs / Reload' badge in the bottom-right corner. Back-to-back imports coalesce into one badge, and your own imports stay quiet on your own screen. The default statuses seeded on a new project ('New / Ready / In Progress / In Review / Done', etc.) now align with your language — English, Tagalog, and Vietnamese members can write their CSV and complete the import end-to-end in their own tongue. We also closed a dark-mode gap inside the CSV import dialog and a translation key that was showing raw on the subscription-expired banner for non-Japanese locales.

The product backlog list no longer flashes a 'zero rows' overlay on initial load and tab switches — you now see a row skeleton while it loads. The Incomplete tab was sometimes mixing in completed items, and projects with the Epic feature turned off could still surface completed-epic cards through other paths; both are now closed. Behind the scenes, we've put hard caps on DB connections and GraphQL request timeouts so heavy operations like CSV import can't squeeze other tenants, and rolled in security-advisory dependency updates.

CSV import has landed on the product backlog list. Drop in a spreadsheet of PBIs you've prepared in Excel or Google Sheets, walk through the 4-step wizard — download template, edit, upload, preview, confirm — and they're all registered. Row-level partial success means a single bad row doesn't throw out the good ones: successful rows go in, and only the rejected ones come back for you to fix and re-upload.

Open and Closed tabs have been added to the top of the product backlog list. Each tab carries a live count badge and updates in real time as teammates change statuses. The Closed tab also shows 'completed N days ago' next to each item, so your retro is half-prepped before you even open it.

Character limits on text fields now count the way humans count, so Japanese and other multibyte text reaches the limit you see on screen. We also tightened consistency checks for project and sprint start/end dates and ScrumTeam name length that were slipping through on certain update paths.

We've fixed a bug where assignee avatars on the kanban board could fall back to default initials after the board had been open for a while or when tasks were updated in real time. You can keep recognizing 'who owns which task' at a glance — no reload required.

The Product Backlog filter panel now has an 'Exclude completed' checkbox. Hide finished work from the list and zero in on the PBIs that haven't been started yet. The state is preserved in the URL, so it survives reloads and works when shared.

Task cards on the kanban board now render the first few lines of the task body inline, with light Markdown formatting. Headings and checklists are visible at a glance, so you can take in the whole sprint without opening a single drawer.

A new bell icon in the header puts task assignments and other notifications one click away. Notifications arrive in real time, and clicking through opens the target item directly without leaving your current screen.

Fixed an issue where pasting Markdown into the PBI description (and other rich text fields) left headings and lists as raw characters. Copy-paste from Notion or Slack now becomes formatted rich text right away.

Profile pictures now use a new delivery method for more reliable rendering. The sprint team detail page loads faster on first paint, and the sprint-start rocket animation has been polished.

Fixed an issue where, depending on your timezone, work done on the project's last day could be treated as outside the project window. End dates now consistently include up to 23:59:59 in your timezone.

Set, edit, close, and review the Scrum Guide 2020 Product Goal. The dashboard has a dedicated widget; the backlog page shows an always-on reminder.

Once a sprint ends, record goal achievement in three choices — Achieved / Partial / Not achieved. It flows directly into the AI retrospective analysis.

Estimate PBI story points synchronously as a team with the new Planning Poker feature. AI-powered reference estimates are also available.

A new capacity gauge on the Sprint team detail page shows how your team's assignments compare to average velocity. AI feature stability has also been improved.

AI now analyzes sprint PBIs to suggest sprint goals. MCP tools expanded to 14, with new scrum team information retrieval capabilities.

Added priority chips to the Sprint backlog PBI list for at-a-glance visibility, and made priority changes feel more seamless. Ceremony phase detection now works per team.

Refined header actions while a detail drawer is open, preserved PBI accordion state, unified PBI list ordering, and enriched retro AI analysis with burnup/burndown trends and velocity history.

We've improved the read-only mode after subscription expiry. Clearer banner notifications, better editing restriction guidance, and smoother plan reactivation.

New sprint ceremony step guide, retrospective KPT board, and AI-powered retrospective analysis to support your team's Scrum practice.

We've fixed the ideal line, scope line, and sprint active detection on the burnup chart for much better accuracy.

We've fixed the burnup chart ideal line and improved the plan change dialog UX.

We've improved the plan change screen and fixed subscription cancellation handling.

PBI, Epic, and Task editors now auto-save your changes — no more manual saving required. The sprint start animation has also been improved.

The ship animation on sprint start now plays correctly. When there are no refinement candidates, a helpful guide prompts you to create a new PBI.

PBIs on the sprint board are now automatically sorted by status and priority. In-progress tasks always appear at the top, giving your team instant visibility into current work.

A new refinement suggestion widget now appears on the dashboard's empty state, showing your top priority PBIs. Sprint-assigned PBIs also display a new icon indicator.

MCP now supports specifying a sprint when creating tasks, plus burn-down chart recalculation and date display bug fixes.

AI PBI generation now includes automatic story point estimation, and epic visibility controls have been expanded to detail pages. Kanban board and PBI detail panel usability have also improved.

Epic show/hide controls now apply to detail pages, and the burndown chart ideal line is more accurate.

MCP tools now support Markdown descriptions when creating tasks, plus chart timezone-related bug fixes.

Three new write tools have been added to MCP, bringing the total to 11 tools. Changes made via MCP are now reflected in the browser in real time.

MCP tools expanded to 11, with table and task list support added to the TipTap editor.

MCP tools have been expanded to 8, and dark mode display has been improved.
