Looking for a way to handle portfolio demand planning in Jira

Question

I am currently working on a demand planning solution in Jira for the delivery team in Jira software and Advanced Roadmaps. I am looking to avoid the use of third party apps. At the moment the delivery plan is being managed in a spreadsheet.

One of the key things I am trying to track is estimated effort for multiple teams on a single initiative (which is represented by a single initiative ticket). There will usually be a number of teams working together on an initiative and I need to capture each of their estimate effort.

Due to the number of teams it is not possible to have an effort estimate field per team. The only way I can think of to handle it at the moment is maybe a linked ticket for each team that has their own estimate, linked to the initiative.

Wondering whether anyone has dealt with something similar in the past and has any recommendations?

Thanks :-)

Hi @Dave Rosenlund  _Trundl_ , thanks for your reply. I don't doubt your sincerity as I am in complete agreement with you but just wanted to post incase anyone had any ideas and I was missing something.

Hi, @Stephen.Marsh . As far as I know, there's no way to do what you describe without writing your own code OR using a marketplace app.

I promise you, my answer is sincere. However, you may wish it with a grain of salt. I work for an Atlassian Marketplace vendor after all. And at least one of them may be able to address your use case.

Best,
