In the PI planning, we are facing lots of difficulties in case of showcasing efforts or storypoints on the Miro board. As the Miro board azure cards extension used for azure devops integration just supports certain fields and in which only for estimation/calculating/tracking efforts only “Story Points” is the field which can be used to reflect it on the Miro boards.

If a work item in azure devops has “Story Points” as a field name, then it works fine and showcases that number on the Miro board but if the field is other than “Story Points” like “effort” or ”storypoint estimation” or for that matter any other field to measure the work, it does not work that is it does not show up on the miro board. 

It is really a pain while doing a PI planning, as in azure devops we make use of multiple templates which use different fields to measure the work based on the needs of our projects. So, its really becomes a cumbersome  task while we do our PI planning as the “Story Points” like fields do not show up and currently we are making use some kind of sticky notes to do the planning.

So, could you please let me know if we can have fields like “Effort” or “storypoint estimation” in addition to the supported field “Story Points”. And by when can we expect it.

Suggestion would be to make it compatible with custom fields as well. i think that would really help as different organizations or different projects may have different fields to measure their work.

Looking forward for some help from the community and hope to see a resolution for this. Could someone help us in this regards?

Thanks in advance.

Hi ​@Nakul Deshmukh,

 

Thanks for bringing this up! We’ll escalate this by converting your post into a support ticket so the Miro team can take a closer look at your request. You should receive a follow-up from the support team soon.

 

In the meantime, if you need urgent assistance, you can also reach out to Miro Support directly here: How to contact Miro Support.

 

 

 

We have this issue as well. The Planner is almost perfect for what we need, but without the “Effort” showing from Azure DevOps, it is useless for PI Planning. The Capacity does not update even if I manually add Story Points or use the estimate tool. We have three ARTs in our organization with a total of roughly 30 teams across them that use Miro for our global PI planning events. 

 

Is there a ticket or something I can follow for this?

Hi ​@Joanna P, thanks for adding your input here.

 

To confirm, Miro Support has responded that the Azure Cards integration currently only supports the “Story Points” field for estimation and tracking. Fields such as “Effort” or custom estimation fields like “Storypoint Estimation” are not supported at this time and won’t display on Miro boards.

The good news is that this limitation has already been passed to the Product team and is on their backlog as a feature request. However, Miro Support clarified that:

  • This is not treated as a bug.

  • There’s no current ETA for when support for additional or custom fields might be introduced.

You can subscribe to email notifications and keep an eye on the Changelog for product related updates.
