Understanding Activity Feeds

Overview

Activity feeds provide a chronological record of changes and discussion.

They support fast reviews without opening every item.

Key Concepts

• Event: comment, status change, owner change, or field update
• Timestamp: recorded time of the event
• Filter: constraints for narrowing activity to a time window or event type

How It’s Used

Use activity feeds during weekly governance to validate progress signals.

Use them during handoffs to understand recent changes quickly.

Benefits

• Faster triage of blocker and approval signals
• Reduced status meeting overhead
• Better continuity across delivery teams

Setup Steps

1

Open the activity feed

1. Open a requirement, task, test case, or Artifact.
2. Locate Activity or History.

2

Filter for signal

1. Filter by a time window when available.
2. Filter by event type when available.
3. Open the source item for high-impact changes.

Best Practices

• Standardize decision language to improve scanability.
• Use Blocked as a high-signal status only.
• Pair activity review with Save Views for blocked and overdue work.

Summary

Activity feeds provide fast visibility into what changed and why.
