Why is "Epic" not a "Group by" option on my team-managed project?

Melinda_apa7po

Could you please tell me how to get my team-managed project Board grouped by Epics? I seem to be missing that option in the "Group By" dropdown menu, and I also just noticed that I am missing the "Features" submenu from the project settings menu. 

What's going on?

I’m sorry to hear that you’re having trouble with your Jira Cloud project. Here are some possible reasons why you might not be able to group your JWM team-managed project Board by Epics:

• The “Epic” option might not be available in the “Group By” dropdown menu for team-managed projects. You can refer to the Atlassian Community for more information on this.
• To group your JWM team-managed project Board by Epics, you can follow these steps:
  1. Navigate to your JWM team-managed project Board.
  2. Click on the three-dot icon in the top-right corner of the board and select Board settings.
  3. Click on Swimlanes.
  4. Under Base Swimlanes, select Epics.

This should group your JWM team-managed project Board by Epics.

Regarding the missing “Features” submenu from the Jira Cloud project settings menu, it could be because you’re using a company-managed project instead of a team-managed project.

 

However, the JWM list view currently supports hierarchy nesting (Epics > Stories > Subtasks) in the list view.  This works across both CMP and TMP projects!

But the issue in the list view  is while you can see Epics, we move tasks or sub-tasks under epics or between epics.

 

 If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.
