Road Map in JIRA

[Ivan Scattergood]

Hi, 

You have recently announced the ability to create Road Maps in JIRA:

How do I enable this for my projects? 

I can only see the Road Map Gadget:

You’ll need to create a new project using the nextgen type and the roadmap feature comes with it.

Is there any way I can copy over the history (including releases) from my existing  projects to the next gen format? 

Does the next gen project now support time estimates? When I tried that a few months ago I couldn't get time estimates to work correctly.

Hi, 

Just to help any other feature hunters out there, the estimation piece is now available in Next Gen projects (you need to switch it on in the features page). 

Please note this is done in Story points, not days. 

However you cannot have releases in a next gen project:

Which for a software project is a bit of a problem....

Love this feature - is there a way to drill down on the road map to see either % complete of the tasks associated with the epic or click on the epic and it would expand so you could see X number of tasks not started, X number of tasks in progress and the same for done?

Hi Beth - a little late, but Welcome to the Atlassian Community!  :-)

You should probably post your question in a new post so more people will see it, if you haven't gotten an answer yet. I don't use Next Gen so not sure of an answer.

The Roadmap feature is currently only available for Jira Cloud. Your link seems to indicate that you're on Jira Server 7.3.0 so it's not available. There is an Atlassian Marketplace partner that has a Roadmap app for that though: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1215695/easy-agile-roadmaps-for-jira?hosting=cloud&tab=overview

Hi, 

I am using JIRA Cloud. How do I activate the Road Map feature?

[John Funk]

It must a Next Gen project (not a Classic project).

Hi John, 

I did indeed discover this feature is only available in a next gen project. However you cannot have releases in a next gen project:

@John Funk ,

Am I right that The Roadmap feature is still only available for Jira Cloud?

We are having Jira Server 8.1.0 

When it will be available for this version?

Or what else may I use for this version (with similar features)?

[John Funk]

Hi Maryna - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Sorry, but I do not use Server, so not sure of the answer. You might try posting that same question in a new post so more people will see it.  :-)
