How about this:
Use Dashboards to Track Regional Releases
- Create custom dashboards for each region or group of countries.
- Add widgets like:
- Deployment Status: Shows release stages (Dev, UAT, Prod) and success/failure indicators
- Work Item Query: Filters features by region, release date, or status
- Markdown Widget: Add notes, timelines, or links to external docs
- Sprint Burndown or Velocity: Shows progress toward release goals
Organize Work Items by Region
- Use tags or custom fields to label features by region (e.g., Region: France, Region: Japan)
- Create saved queries that filter by region and release date
- Link these queries to dashboard widgets so each region sees only relevant items
Surface Release Dates Clearly
- Add a custom field to work items called Planned Release Date
- Use query-based charts or timeline widgets to visualize upcoming releases
- Include a calendar-style view using external tools like Power BI if needed
Share Dashboards with Stakeholders
- Set dashboard permissions so Key Account Managers and Relationship Managers can view (but not edit)
- Use project-level dashboards for cross-team visibility
- Include links to dashboards in your release emails or Teams channels
