Product managers must align their work with strategic objectives. This enhancement simplifies that alignment by allowing epics and features to be directly connected to portfolio Objectives and Key Results. It provides clear visibility into how product development efforts contribute to high-level company missions and goals.

By creating a direct link, product managers can demonstrate the impact of work items on strategic outcomes and respond more effectively to shifting business priorities. All directly impact the ability to measure and communicate the value delivered by product development efforts.

Previously, aligning epics and features to Portfolio OKRs was limited and often indirect, resulting in reduced visibility and inefficiencies. This enhancement resolves those limitations by enabling users to assign Epics or Features directly to a Portfolio Objective or Key Result. The "Objective" field is now consistently available across views and within the work item property panel. When accessing this field, users will find a consolidated display that includes both portfolio OKRs and workspace OKRs, making selection intuitive and efficient.
