How do I visually see tasks hierarchy?

Question

I have a ticket (well actually 4 or 5 of them) that have a parent ticket (or a story or whatever) which has a parent ticket (or an epic or whatever). And there are also adjacent/siblings on each level. 
Q: how do i visually layout all of them so I can overview a) what I has been assigned to and b) can see the scope of total work (i.e. sibling tickets not specifically assigned to me, but to other team members) so I can stay sane?

Thanks,

Thanks everyone for the replies!

Since i'm a layman, I'll have to talk to the managers to install either of the plugins, all of them look awesome btw!

Thanks again

Hi @peter gusev

Welcome to the community !!

If you are on Jira premium, you can use Advanced roadmaps. Or if you are ok with a mktplace add-on,you may want to try our app

Issue Hierarchy

The app shows your issues and its issues in a hierarchy view. You can add your Jira fields to the report as well.

The app can help you easily Sum up values (time tracking/story point/custom numeric fields) to see overall progress for your Issues at each parent level, in percentage terms wrt time tracking and story points.

(Disclaimer: I work on RVS, the vendor for this app)

Hi @peter gusev,

You can do that in Advanced Roadmaps, but you'll need the Jira Premium plan for this.

An alternative would be to search on Atlassian Marketplace for an app (extension) that provides such functionality.

If you are open to the idea of using an app, our Great Gadgets app has a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) gadget that displays the issues from a filter / JQL by their hierarchy (Epic > Story > Sub-task) along with their status, thus giving you a quick overview.

You could configure the gadget with a filter that returns only the issues assigned to you, for example.
