Agile tools do not have much, if any, financial capabilities, so it is important to create an eco-system that can support this value stream—from funding, through delivery, and finally to tracking the realization of financial value.

  • The Turn off Notifications process disables all Email, SMS and Alerts notifications for all users. This process is helpful if users would not like to receive emails from the system regarding actions items, timesheet submissions, etc. The script may be modified to include all users or all users that have been created within the last day.
  • The Update Email Ids workflow sets all users’ email addresses to non-working by appending a “ZZZZ” to the end of the email address. This process is used for when there are refreshes to your Development or Testing environments and do not want emails going to users. When complete, the log will display the total amount of email addresses updated. A second process is included in this workflow that will revert the email addresses to remove the “ZZZZ” added in the first workflow. In some instances, the process may be run in error, or you may want to send emails from a Development or Testing environment; using this second process you will be able to enable all emails again.
