As an RTE at the first step of the session creation "General" you can set a date for your PI Planning. As soon as the day is approaching, in the piplanning app the PI Planning session will be highlighted in grey.
The PI Planning Sessions whose dates are current are highlighted in gray. The RTE sets this date in the RTE Cockpit. It usually corresponds to the first day on which PI Planning starts.
With Rally sync you can now manually synchronize single iterations. So you don't have to stop and restart the whole sync from the RTE Cockpit. The teams can manage this themselves on team level.
Allow teams to access session they are not part of
Under Teams you can now assign teams to a session without giving them a Team Board. This way you can also create e.g. a Solution session that allows you to visualize dependencies between ARTs.
