Customers details for every single Epic

Kentaro Iijima

Hi Jira specialists,

This is Ken, a beginner of Jira. I have never ever posted in Atlassian Community - it is my first post.

It would be great if you could help me out how to link between the customers details (e.g. company name, address, email address, and etc.) and every single Epic.

FYI, the customers do NOT access to our Jira. It means that our customers are NOT the user of our Jira service.

I look forward to your advice.

Best regards,

Ken

Hello @Kentaro Iijima

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

Is the customer data stored in another system/database that you want Jira to access?

Will there be only one customer to associate with each Epic?

How will you know which customer should be associated with each Epic?

Are you anticipating a need to get reports of Epics based on associated customers, or other reports about how Epics and customers are related?

Hi Trudy,

Thank you so much for your prompt help!

>Is the customer data stored in another system/database that you want Jira to access?

The customer data is in other system so far, but it should be exported in CSV or other format. Alternatively, I am more than happy to create a new customer data from scratch.

>Will there be only one customer to associate with each Epic?

No, we have many customers, and they should individually be linked to the respective Epics.

For example, a customer of a first job (=Epic 1) is Company (A), and we got the job through an agent (i). Namely, Epic 1 is represented by (i) and is owned by (A) .

Another example, a customer of a second job (=Epic 2) is Company (B), and we got the job through an agent (ii). In that case, Epic 2 is represented by (i) and is owned by (B) .

>How will you know which customer should be associated with each Epic?

I willl manually make a new link (i.e. newly input the customer's information into Jira) when I newly create every single Epic.

>Are you anticipating a need to get reports of Epics based on associated customers, or other reports about how Epics and customers are related?

It should be both, perhaps...? I need to indicate the owner and the agent in every Epic. Further, I may sort the Epics by the 'owner' or 'agent' once the Epics created.

I am not too sure, whether or not Jira is a good choice for our requirements as discussed above, maybe...?

Best regards,

Ken

Hi Trudy,

It looks I posted my reply into an incorrect box by mistake. My apologies.

Kind regards,

Hello Ken,

In your example each Epic had only one Customer and only one agent. Will that always be true, or might you need to associate multiple customers and/or multiple agents to a single Epic?

Would you want people to be able to enter new customer and agent data, or restrict them to selecting from predefined lists?

Thank you, Trudy.

>In your example each Epic had only one Customer and only one agent. Will that always be true, or might you need to associate multiple customers and/or multiple agents to a single Epic?

The number of the customer is normally one, but occasionally 2-4 if multiple customers own the project.

The number of the agent should be only one, as far as I know.

>Would you want people to be able to enter new customer and agent data, or restrict them to selecting from predefined lists?

I don't think we need the restriction. I am happy to our Jira members add/edit/delete the customer data. However, it would be easier to simply select the customer if they has already been recorded in our data.

Does it make sense...?

Thank you,

Ken
