How do I visually see tasks hierarchy?

[peter gusev]

I have a ticket (well actually 4 or 5 of them) that have a parent ticket (or a story or whatever) which has a parent ticket (or an epic or whatever). And there are also adjacent/siblings on each level. 
Q: how do i visually layout all of them so I can overview a) what I has been assigned to and b) can see the scope of total work (i.e. sibling tickets not specifically assigned to me, but to other team members) so I can stay sane?

Thanks,

Hi @peter gusev 

To visually layout the hierarchy of tickets in Jira, you can use Advanced Roadmaps. It provides a visual hierarchy with clear parent-child relationships and customizable filters and timeline views. However, it requires Premium Plan access.

Alternatively, you can use timeline or Gantt chart plugins available in the Atlassian Marketplace.

I hope it will help!

Thanks everyone for the replies! 

Since i'm a layman, I'll have to talk to the managers to install either of the plugins, all of them look awesome btw!

Thanks again

Hi @peter gusev 

Welcome to the community !!

If you are on Jira premium, you can use Advanced roadmaps. Or if you are ok with a mktplace add-on,you may want to try our app

Issue Hierarchy 

The app shows your issues and its issues in a hierarchy view. You can add your Jira fields to the report as well.

The app can help you easily Sum up values (time tracking/story point/custom numeric fields) to see overall progress for your Issues at each parent level, in percentage terms wrt time tracking and story points.

(Disclaimer: I work on RVS, the vendor for this app)

Hi @peter gusev,

You can do that in Advanced Roadmaps, but you'll need the Jira Premium plan for this.

An alternative would be to search on Atlassian Marketplace for an app (extension) that provides such functionality.

If you are open to the idea of using an app, our Great Gadgets app has a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) gadget that displays the issues from a filter / JQL by their hierarchy (Epic > Story > Sub-task) along with their status, thus giving you a quick overview.

You could configure the gadget with a filter that returns only the issues assigned to you, for example.

Hi @peter gusev

welcome to the community!

Just to add to @Teresa_DevSamurai's great answer: If you're open to solutions from the Atlassian Marketplace, there are a number of hierarchy-focused apps available that can help here. These apps typically don't require Jira Premium.

E.g., my team and I work on a app that I think you might like, JXL for Jira.

JXL is a full-fledged spreadsheet/table view for your issues that allows viewing, inline-editing, sorting, and filtering by all your issue fields, much like you’d do in e.g. Excel or Google Sheets. You can also view your issues in their default epic/base-task/sub-task hierarchy in just one click, like so:

Every JXL sheet is powered by a JQL statement or saved filter, plus you can apply various column filtering operations directly in JXL - so you have full control over which issues you want or don't want to see.

I should add that JXL can do much more than the above: From support for configurable custom issue hierarchies, to issue grouping by any issue field(s), sum-ups, or conditional formatting.

Any questions just let me know,

Best,

Hannes
