What are we up to? Public roadmap for Jira Product Discovery

[Dmitriy Panyukov _Stiltsoft_]

Some of our customers have requested that our Jira apps be made available in Jira Product Discovery. We would greatly appreciate it if support for third-party apps were introduced in Jira Product Discovery.

We were looking into few options for our SAAS model products and their roadmaps. The teams prefer to keep the JPD project/workspace set as private in case of any Tenant specific roadmap items. A majority of the roadmap items would be universal to all tenants however we were requested to maintain some confidentiality with certain tenant specific roadmap items. Hence, we made the JPD project private, filtered on tenant specific tags and created public-facing Views/published Views per tenant. Since these tenant specific roadmaps are now in 4 different JPD projects/workspaces (could be in more projects later), we didn't see or find a way to consolidate roadmaps across multiple projects and create a public facing View. We can use Roadmaps/Plans space and used a filter to get one list of roadmap items from multiple JPD projects however did not see an option to create a public-facing View from there. Is there any other way or future option to allow published Views from Roadmap/Plan space?

Hi @Shalini Devi - the team's currently working on supporting publishing views from Roadmaps. 

Question: what do you mean by "public facing view"? Did you want to publish it so that anyone on the internet can access the view without logging in (anonymous access), or just people from your company or people you add via email address? Thanks. 

[Shalini Devi]

@Tanguy Crusson I was thinking people you add via email address. If we made the JPD project private then I don't think we want Tenant A to see some specific features that Tenant B asked for. For example, if we create these selective roadmap View for Tenant B and made this public, as in without logging, then Tenant A or any others will be able to see it anyway. If we made it visible to people in your/our company, then it may not work if Tenant A is the business side people in your/our company itself. Tech, Product and select reps would be working for all Tenants. Tenants may be in house business side or externals tenants when we have a SAAS model.

@Shalini Devi perfect. We're actually not going to support public views (anonymous access) for publishing views from Roadmaps for exactly that reason: figuring out what data to show / permissions is way too tricky

[Shalini Devi]

@Tanguy Crusson Thank you. Indeed, permissions can be tricky. I was thinking if we used some sort of Group option and provided access to cross-project Views to select Groups. I know JSM has/had some sort of Group concepts and access by Groups. If something like that was possible then we could set up Groups for each Tenant and provided access to Group. I haven't explored the Teams side yet in case that is similar setup.

[Tanguy Crusson]

@Shalini Devi yes, groups should definitely work for this use case 👍
