Need Project, Epic, Feature, Story Hierarchy

Jane Deese

Is there a way to create the hierarchy above in Jira? I need to have an overall Project at the top, then Epics, Features under Epics and then Stories under Features. I am seeing conflicting opinions and advice in the community forum and some responses are so old, I am not sure what applies or not. Thanks in advance!

Hi @Jane Deese,

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

The short answer is no, you cannot change the default hierarchy which is Epic - Standard issue types - Sub-tasks. What you can do if you have Jira Premium is to add additional hierarchy above Epic, see Configure custom hierarchy levels in Advanced Roadmaps for more information.

Thank you so much!

Hi @Jane Deese

We use Structure by Tempo to implement our extended hierarchy. We've found it to be a little more flexible than Advanced Roadmaps in our context. There's some detail on how we did it here.

The default Jira hierarchy is Epics -> Stories -> Sub-tasks. Here's an article about renaming the Epic level to Feature level if you're following the SAFe approach.
