Mission Summary

By clicking on the in the status area, you can designate a mission to be a 'favourite' mission. Clicking on the icon again removes the "favourite" status. A favourite mission can then be filtered in the "View all Missions" and is shown on the Mission Reports page.

The widgets displayed depends on the configuration of the mission, however for Jira - this report is based on the issues that are currently:

1. Open
2. In Progress
3. Done in the past 90 days
4. Issues that are Overdue

This data is then filtered into Past, Future and Overdue dates. This includes any sprints, versions etc associated with the avocet items. In addition to this the Mission status is retrieved and used.

The mission report shows a narrative version of the overall status of the mission. This is something you as the mission specialist fills out as your mission progresses. A mission status has 2 parts: The status and the general report.

Choose a status from the existing list:

• Mission prep
• Just launched
• On track
• Needs course correction
• Lost in space
• Mission accomplished

Then add text to explain your choice in the General Report rich text field.

One a mission status has been created, it's then added to the Mission status page and any previous entries are pushed down on the page giving anyone a way to easily see the history of the mission as it has been worked on. The mission status is also used on the Summary page in the "Mission status" widget.

On this screen you can easily add a new status (1). The latest status is always shown expanded (2). 

Finally whenever a new status is added - the previous status is added (3) under Previous Entries. From here you can remove the entry or expand it.

Work Tracker

The work tracker aggregates all work items into a single pane of work. The contents is limited to the last 1000 updated items and respects the visibility item configured in the upper right corner of the page.

To only reflect the past 7 days of updated items (default), simply click on the "Up to last week" link and select the new time window.

If you have multiple work source, by default each source is in it's own table. However in order to view things in context, you can click on "Show in single list" which will combine all of the items into one large table.

In addition to this, you can change your table preferences which will allow you to determine which columns should be displayed.

Linked Missions

Is your mission dependent on another mission? Or that mission dependent on yours? If so, you can simply connect the 2 missions by linking them. This will allow a visitor to your mission be able to easily see the connection and review the status of the other status. Simply go to the Linked missions page, click "Add linked mission" and select the second (or third) mission to connect.

Mission Settings

A mission has 2 parts in the configuration.

The title and description are there to help your users to understand what the mission is really about. Keep it clear and concise (and per Lagom Solutions Terms of Service - do not use any PII in these fields).

The second part is the Mission data, or the status mapping and data sources. A mission can have multiple data source configurations for each mission. This allows you to group mission data the Work Tracker and future data source reports. For example if you have 2 teams working on the mission - you can easily separate the work by having 2 different data sources.

Remove a mission

To remove a mission, head over to the Mission settings page and click Delete mission. In the dialog that appears, enter in the mission name (matching case) to confirm. 

Note: Deletion of a mission is not recoverable.
