🤝 Link Technical Initiatives to Business Goals

Compass Scorecards now link directly with goals in the Atlassian platform, helping teams prioritize what matters most. When you connect a scorecard to a goal, target dates sync automatically, priority scorecards get highlighted, and component teams gain clear visibility into which improvements drive business impact.

🔎 Track Package Dependencies in your Catalog

The new Package Dependencies beta is live! View dependency versions across components, track adoption rates, and identify migration needs. Check out the new dependencies tab on your component pages to see version information and discover which components use specific packages.
