    Warum und wann dieser Vorgang ausgeführt wird

    Release planning is done using the Kanban board. The vertical lanes represent versionsreleases that are in the Draft or Pending state. The cards in each release lane represent product featuresenhancements associated with the release.

    When linking a plan version from ServiceNow® Agile Development 2.0, Jira, or GitLab, you can select the Auto-create product versions from plan versions option. Selecting this option automatically creates a releaseproduct version associated with one of the following, depending on the tool you select:
    • A Fix version created in Jira.
    • A Milestone created in GitLab.
    • A Release created in Agile Development 2.0.
    When a releaseproduct version is created from a version from one of these planning tools, the product enhancements are planned for the appropriate product versionrelease as well. This option verifies that the release planning in DPR reflects the planning state from the planning tool.

    When associating a plan from Jira, if you have selected the Auto-create product versions for Fix Versions from Jira option, then a product version is automatically created in DPR corresponding to a Fix version created in Jira. When a product version is created from the Jira fix version, the product features are planned to the appropriate product version as well. This option verifies that the release planning in DPR reflects the planning state from Jira.
