How to add a starting date and a ending date of a project on Jira?

Question

Hi,

I want to know how to add starting and ending dates of a project that reflect on the roadmap. For example:

The start date of a project is 2/aug/2021 and I want it to end it on 2/aug/2022, so how to add these dates, so that roadmap shows progress of only those 12 months.

Thank you,

Shermeen

Hi @Shermeen Hasan ,

Jira projects don't have start and end dates. Projects in Jira are "containers" with issues (epics, stories, tasks,...) that relate to each other (or in other words, a collection of issues).  I wonder if for your use case you could create a 'project' issue type that is active for those 12 months in your example, and link all the other tickets that form your project.
