Sync Jira Product discovery and advanced plans

[Martin Pendlebury]

Hi

We are using Jira product discovery to plan out high level roadmaps.

We have also recently upgraded to Jira premium which has given us access to Jira plans. I hope to use this to show lower level plans at epic level.

I'm worried that if I start to use Jira plans, I will have to maintain two sets of dates. For example, if I have to move the date of an epic or an initiate in a plan, I then need to go back into Jira product discovery and move the idea to match this updated date. This creates two things I need to maintain and these can easily fall out of sync.

If Jira product discovery or a Jira plan is updated, can it this then influence the other tool?

It feels like I can't be the only one with this issue and I am fundamentally missing a principle of how this these two tools should work together?

Thanks

Jira Product Discovery has an option to sync dates with work items in a Jira plan. See the following post for more details: https://community.atlassian.com/forums/Jira-Product-Discovery-articles/New-Jira-Integration-Autofill-dates-in-JPD-from-linked-delivery/ba-p/2618305
