JPD - Global Types

[Brian Pearcy]

Right now in JPD we only have three global Types.  Ideas, Experiments, and Capabilities.  With our organization being over 40 teams, three items isn't enough.   

Capabilities aren't high level enough for our senior leadership.  I know you can make additional work types in a space but it doesn't appear that they can be global.  This add almost zero value as leadership will not be clicking through multiple spaces, want to see work combined in multiple spaces for programs where work mixes between spaces.  

Are there plans to allow organization to add addition global work types or other suggestions of how to approach this issue.  I

I could see this being a deal breaker for JPD adding value and being used by our organization.

Hello, 

If you are using the Premium plan, you have more features, which we created specifically for the purpose of helping you set up many teams collaborating in many spaces with the ability to get visibility centrally:Demo: teams contributing to company priorities in JPD

Hi @Brian Pearcy , did you figure it out? Indeed you can't create global types, but you can reference ideas of different types in different spaces like so. 

And as long as you use the same type name in these spaces, it works:

@Tanguy Crusson based on videos I've seen through Atlassian we're trying global connectors.  It seems to work in our Sandbox.

Only having three global work types seems to be a big hole if connectors doesn't solve this issue.

OK cool. There's no "global work types" by the way in Jira Product Discovery, every type is scoped to the space - but you can connect across spaces.
