In Jira, it is quite simple to break larger projects down by creating a single Jira Project and treating it as a 'Portfolio Project' or a higher level project that contains the larger initiatives you would like to get done.

You can then create more projects specifically to handle each project within the initiative.

Lets say 'Project x' has 2 initiatives that correspond to 2 smaller projects you would like to deliver.

You can create 'Project x', 'Project y', and 'Project z' within Jira.

'Project x' should have an issue for each of the projects you would like to deliver, named after the relevant 'sub-projects'.

'Project y' and 'Project z' will be the smaller projects were the teams will work and the project should be broken down into Epics (project outputs you want to deliver) and Tasks (actions that get you closer to delivering those project outputs).

With Issue links, using the 'Linked Issue' field you can link up each of the Epics in 'Project y' and 'Project z' by giving them the 'Is related to' link and linking the relevant issue in 'Project x'.

Let me know if this helps or if you would like some more guidance!

Cheers,

Matt

IN Jira, I found only to create a project, how can I create a portfolio project?

A method for doing this could be to

* Create a dropdown list custom field called Sub-Project and add the names of the sub-projects to the list - instructions here
* Add the custom field to the relevant screens which are used by the issues in the sub-projects - instructions here
* Assign the issues in corresponding sub-projects their sub-project value (by selecting the correct option in your new custom field)
* Create a new filter for each sub-project to only show issues in that sub-project - instructions here
* Create a new board/dashboard for each of the sub-projects, and filter the issues based off these two new created jql filters

This would be one of the easiest way to create sub-projects in Jira, as this functionality is not really built in to the software...

Hope this helps!
