Advanced Roadmaps sequencing

Question

Two people on the team created their own plan using the same project as input. Person A sorts Initiatives / epics in a certain way.

Epic-1

Epic-3

Epic-2

Person B goes in and sorts in a diff way in his plan.

Epic-3

Epic-2

Epic-1

Result is that B's changes get reflected in A's plan.

Why is that so and is there a way around it?

Hi @Vivek Goel

This is likely because you didn't commit the changes to Jira :)  - thus didn't edit the issues officially.

In Plans, you can have multiple scenarios which allows you to add issues, change estimates, etc without confirming those issue modifications. It allows you to scenario plan for different outcomes.

Nice workaround!

Hi Steve,

I read thru the page, it was very helpful.

Some follow-up thoughts.

I setup two scenarios 'Baseline' and 'Best Case'.

Both had different rankings. However I DID NOT 'Save Changes to Jira' under 'Review Changes'. Result is that both Plans (scenarios) have different rankings. Not perfect but this does allow me to achieve my desired result. Thoughts!

Appreciate your feedback.
