Ally added the capability to add multiple issues with the help of issue ID or title while connecting with an OKR as well as the progress computation logic to consider the task completion progress for the issues.This is great progress, and now allows team members to automatically update their OKR progress with the progress of multiple issues and includes calculation of amount of checkboxes checked.

GitLab Issue Linked KR

The below KR is linked to 3 issues with 1/3 issues closed, Ally grades this to 33% completed.

Examples

An Ally KR that uses 1 GitLab issue

• KR https://app.ally.io/objectives/1442569
  • Open issue - 1/2 tasks checked #17
• KR progress 50%

An Ally KR that uses multiple GitLab issues

An Ally KR linked to 4 GitLab issues with multiple states/checkbox progress

• KR linked to 4 issues with equal weights at 25% each https://app.ally.io/objectives/1442565?skipQuickView=true
  • Open issue - not complete #16
    • Progress: 0%
  • Open issue - 7/9 boxes checked #19
    • Progress: [ 25 x (7/9) ] = 19.5%
  • Closed issue - completed (2/3 checked) #18 (closed)
    • Progress: 25%
  • Closed issue - completed (no checkboxes) #20 (closed)
    • Progress: 25%
• Total: 0+19.5+25+25 = 69.5%, Ally shows 69% it all adds up
