Epic-Master User Story -sub User Story -sub-task hierarchy

[Yashveer]

Hello Friends,

Approach I am planning to follow for below Scenario-  

I have an EPIC (Project 1) at department level.

Same Project 1 has to be worked between different sub-departments on different functionalities (I am considering those as master story for each department like

A. Master user story 1 name = "Project 1 - Master US1 - sub-department 1"

B. Master user story 2 name = "Project 1 - Master US2 - sub-department 2"

C. Master user story 3 name = "Project 1 - Master US 3- sub-department 3"

Then further master user story will be linked to functional sub user stories with the help of "relates to" like

A. Master story 1 name = "Project 1 - Master story 1 - sub-department 1"

  A.1 Sub user Story name 1= Sub US functionality 1

  A.2 Sub user Story name 2= Sub US functionality 2 etc

and so on for master user story 2 and 3.

Is there any better way to organize it?

Looking forward for your valuable suggestions and feedback :)

Thanks in advance.

Cheers!!

Hello Yashveer,

Analyzing your description, it seems that you can use the already existing hierarchy Epic > Task > Sub-task to achieve your need on JIRA, where:

Epics = Project

Stories = sub-department

Sub-tasks = Sub-Story functionality

Please, check the documentation below to know more details about it:

JIRA Software Hierarchy

P.S: If you need more levels od Hierarchy, you will need to use the plugin Portfolio for JIRA.
