Adding More Hierarchy levles on jira board

Assaf Eitan_r5i8dg

I use Jira Cloud,

and I want to have the ability to add more hierarchy levels in jira - *not initiative *

but, let say i want user story to be the parent of task and also to visualize it on the active sprint itself- to see for each story the tasks that are child of that story on the scrum board it self (like when using swimlanes).

I tries the add on - "hierarchy for jira" and it can make that kind of hierarchy but can't visualize it on the active sprint itself like I want,

Does anyone, know a way to make it happen?

Regards,

Assaf

Hi @Assaf Eitan - The only way you'll be able to do this is with a 3rd party app like structure.

Aaron Hayward

Sounds like you are talking about sub-tasks (all link up to the story) and nicely show on the active sprint screen.

I have worked with teams that like to use these, break the story down into sub-tasks and then these proceed through the sprint.

@Mark Segall is right, @Assaf Eitan — specifically, Structure for Jira.

But, there are other, similar products you may want to consider, too. Let us know if you need help crafting a relevant Atlassian Marketplace search.

Hey thanks!

I tried to use the structure for Jira, it does work in some way and show me new hierarchy as I like, but it does not show me the hierarchy on the board it self- active sprint.

let say I want to create a new issue type that is between task and story (not subtask) I can visualize it on the structure board but from what I tried I can't see it on the active board for the sprint, if I want to use swimlanes or something like that.

Am I missing somthing on structure?

Unfortunately, you're not going to get what you're looking for on the active sprint board even with structure. I don't believe Jira provides the necessary APIs for 3rd parties to provide such capability.

It may be best to rethink your hierarchal strategy. As @Aaron Hayward mentioned, you could be using sub-tasks and get the native capability. Would you mind sharing why you have this need for additional level of hierarchy below the epic?
