Sprint Support Indicator for Team-Managed Boards

We've added a helpful note to indicate whether team-managed boards support sprints. If the board does not support sprints, users will see a clear notification. This ensures teams are always aware of the board's capabilities, preventing confusion and streamlining the planning process.

Improve error message when the board is private

We've refined the error message for private boards to be clearer and more concise. This update ensures you receive a succinct notification about the board's privacy status, directing you to adjust the board configuration if needed.

Add the active sprint to the list of sprints on Sprint planning

Teams can now modify the active sprint directly from the Sprint planning view. This enhancement allows for better visibility and management by showing the active sprint prominently.

Show warning when aggregate time of a story is longer than the sprint length

Receive immediate notifications when the estimated aggregate time for a story exceeds the duration of a sprint. This enhancement ensures you're always aware of potential timeline issues, enabling better sprint planning and resource allocation.

Show commitment bar under the user when adding time to issues

The commitment bar is now displayed under each user's image for a clear visual representation of workload. The bar appears blue when no tasks are assigned, gradually fills with green as hours are allocated, and turns red if a user is over-allocated.

General usability improvements

This update introduces several enhancements designed to improve the overall user experience in Jira: optimized navigation menus for quicker access to frequently used features, refined layout adjustments to streamline issue management, and updated tooltips for better guidance.
