Hierarchical view of epics and user stories

Ton van Daelen

Hi there -

Id like to look at all epics and user stories for a release in a hierarchical view. It should display all stories with the epic it belongs to and it should be in prioritized order. Ideally I would be able to collapse/expand stories for each epic. E.g.:

Epic 1 [expand/collapse]
- Story 1
- Story 2
- Story 3
Epic 2 [expand/collapse]
- Story 4
- Story 5

Does such a gadget or view exist?

Thanks - Ton

There is a hierarchy plugin (https://plugins.atlassian.com/plugin/details/5003) but that requires you to create physical links between the issues, and it doesnt take rank into consideration.

Offhand, i dont know of anything like this that currently exists.

I am looking for exactly the same option. The hierarchy plugin is not an option imho, because we 'link' the issues by using Epics.

Ivar

At our current Jira version (4.3.4), the plugin handle epics.

The Links Hierachy Structure plug-in, supports it: Epics related to stories by using Epic labels (Greenhopper 6.0.6+) can be displayed on the hierarchical tree structure as they were standard issue links.

I'd like this feature as well. It exists in pretty much every agile management tool I've ever used.

This view is provided by Easy Agile User Story Maps for Jira Server and Cloud.

No it is not. What we want is the tree view integrated on the issue page, not some additional window that looks like a kanban board.

Dave Elkan

Those requirements weren't listed originally, so no, it does not do that. But it does provide a list of stories by epic ordered by rank for a release.

Hi, I am also looking for tree view hierarchical view where Epics and User Stories can be displayed and I can download in Excel. Can someone take this as future development requirement?

I put together an extension called Agile Docs which does exactly this.

It lets you view and interact with all your projects and releases in an expandable nested tree list like a google doc. It looks like this:

Also gives Epic progress reports based on the story points completed in your Epics.

This is the simplest and mostly common-sense view for everybody working agile. But "sorry no, Jira does not have it". Again. I can hardly understand what customers needs are covering Jira. Seems they are covering of 5% customer needs, but no other 95%.

Agreed. Can't believe this doesn't exist. Navigating the backlog is a complete nightmare without it. Microsoft TFS had this built in over 5 years ago.

When will this be available for server

Selucos Nicator

Compared to TFS, which I used for the better part of 3 years, JIRA is really lagging in some basic features that aid visualization and management of a project

chewbecca

Agree, this is such a basic function that allows a Product Owner to manage their backlog, can't believe Jira does not have it when it is the main view used in MS TFS/Azure Devops

I have a server version coming soon.

Ken Wood

Soon is apparently more than 3 month :-(

That, and this app has been archived for the better part of a decade.

Which, isn't what's being asked for.

Hi All,

You might want to try out the server addon we have built just of this purpose.

Agile Tools - Epic Tree and issue Tracker

It will provide you the below features

Sum up your Epic's Time Spent, Original Estimate, Time Remaining, and Percent Complete
Display and manage Sprint/Epics/Issues of your project
Edit Issue summary, time estimates, story points and assignee on the tree with real time updates in the progress
Rolled up percentage completion and at issue level as well

Sadly, your add-in only works on Jira Server.

IF it were available for Jira Cloud, then it would be INCREDIBLY more useful.

Hi @[deleted]

We have published the cloud version of our add-on.

You might want to try it out.

After I stuck in the same issue, I came with one solution using MS Excel.

Export the data in CSV for any project. You must need "Epic Link" in extraction. In my case, it's on the T column in XLS. And, 2 columns I inserted - parent and epic parent.

Then Apply these formulas for the 4th and 5th columns.

The formula for the 4th column (Parent).

IF(J2="Epic",A2,(IF(T2<>0,T2,IF(C2=0,"NA",IF(J2="Sub-task",INDEX($A$2:$A$319,MATCH(C2,$B$2:$B$319,0)),"NA")))))

The formula for the 5th column (Epic Parent).

IF(J2<>"Sub-task",D2,INDEX($D$2:$D$319,MATCH(D2,$A$2:$A$319,0)))

And, then do a custom sort on "Epic Parent" and then by "Issue Type".

Atlassian has implemented for business projects (JWM) via the List view as illustrated below. Hopefully the view will find its way to JSW projects.

Hey everybody,

I know we're late to the party but you can do this with our app Epic Sum Up. If you add a higher hierarchical level that contains all the Epics (e.g. using Advanced Roadmaps), you can display all your Epics and Stories in one view.

This is called the Detail View Editor and you can open it by clicking any of the progress bars provided by the app.

Within this view you can expand and collapse the Epics as needed as well as sort them by different metrics like priority or time spent.

Hope this helps.
