How do I create a project hierarchy in Jira Software?

Julie Mayer

We are planning to use Jira across a number of different product teams. Each team would like to have its own hierarchy or set of projects.

For example, both our mobile and portal application development teams support 2 or 3 different divisions. We would like to create the following hierarchy in Jira so that we can separate our projects from other teams using the tool. Below is an example:

Portal Application Team

• Portal App Division 1 Project
• Portal App Division 2 Project
• Portal App Division 3 Project

Mobile Application Team

• Mobile App Division 1 Project
• Mobile App Division 2 Project

Can you tell me how I can implement something like this?

Hi Julie - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

As Kirstin mentioned, you should be able to get what you need from the Project Category under Project Settings > Details.

You might also want to look at the Jira Portfolio product for even greater functionality.
