A cross-project timeline that adapts to your Jira hierarchy - not the other way around!

If you've ever found yourself staring at Jira asking, "How does all of this actually connect?" or "Are we really on track?", you're definitely not alone. This comes up all the time for teams in medium-sized organisations, large enterprises, and government bodies trying to coordinate work across multiple teams and projects.

Hierarchy for Jira exists to help you with exactly that. It brings structure and clarity to Jira by letting you build custom hierarchies beyond epics, roll up progress automatically, and see how everyday work supports bigger goals, all using the same Jira data you already have.

Seeing work clearly structured above and below epics for real program-level visibility. 

Meet the brand-new timeline view

One thing customers kept telling us about Hierarchy for Jira was, "This is great, but how do I see it all over time?"

That's where the Timeline view comes in.

It's a native, Gantt-style timeline built directly into Hierarchy for Jira. No separate tool, no expensive add-ons, no setup, configuration, or scripting required. You open it, and it just works!

It automatically reflects your custom hierarchy across multiple projects, updates in Jira in real-time, and lets you see work across projects, teams, and initiatives in one place.

Plan with confidence, spot issues earlier

The timeline view helps teams see the full delivery picture across multiple projects at a glance, including: 

  • Dependencies and cross-team relationships.
  • Milestones and key delivery dates.
  • Baselines to compare planned versus actual progress.
  • Critical scope, so the work that really matters stands out clearly.

Because everything is powered by your existing Jira data, there's no duplication and no new systems to manage, which is especially important for regulated, enterprise or government environments.

Over to you…

We'd love to hear how you're handling timelines and cross-team visibility today.

Are you using spreadsheets, external roadmap tools, or Jira Plans?
