When using the roadmap plugin, how can I view a hierarchy using implements links

Question

Hi,

My organization created a hierarchy of work based on customer deliverables, which is fine. But I need to track it from a different view of overall functionality of the whole. So I want to create a parallel hierarchy of themes and initiatives using the "implements" and "is implemented by" links, but those type of links don't show up in the plan view.

Is there a way that I can use a plan roadmap view where the hierarchy is based on these other links as opposed to just parent and child?

I know it's a long shot, but who knows.

Thanks.

Hello @Mitch Kulberg

In BigPicture/BigGantt, you can automatically create a no-limited number of WBS levels. Task Structure can be created based on both build-in task attributes (e.g., Epic link, Component, Version, Sprint) as well as any links.

Please le me know if you need more information.

Hey Mitch,

not really IMHO - the Atlassian Plans/Roadmaps plugins are designed to be used with a normal work hierarchy: how to configure hierarchy levels or how to expose these levels in Jira.

You could trial some other plugins like BigGantt or Structure which let you create plan-like views with automation based on other fields and see if that works for you perhaps?
