Enable rank in JPD?

Glenn A

I need to enable stack ranking of ideas in JPD such that I can sort. Jira seems to have this with the global rank field that can be enabled. How can I do the same in JPD?

Also, if I create a JQL filter, and add columns named Rank, there are a more than one that show up, and in fact my JPD ideas all have a custom field (I didn't create) populated with 'jibberish.' Yet, non of these fields can be added to my JPD project, nor do they appear as global variables (assuming most are not global-scoped). Yet... there's that one that isn't the system rank with data?

Thanks!

I created a custom field "rank" and use this to manually order - you would need to manually input the numbers for each idea though.
Then i order by "rank"

Hi @Glenn A,

JPD is built to prioritise ideas in different ways, with different views that go beyond linear, manual ranking.

e.g. on the Product Roadmap view, you can order ideas across relative time dimensions first: what are we working on now, what next and what later:

Inside the columns you will see that you can drag cards around to change the order (which I expect is using the rank behind the scenes, as that is how Jira determines ranking behind the scenes).

The jibberish you refer to is how a issue rank is stored. Jira uses Lexorank for this, which is indeed not readable to the human eye, but capable to handle the impact of reordering items across your entire Jira instance.

Other views reorder issues automatically or display items differently, such as the impact x effort matrix view:

All these views can be shared with stakeholders and span multiple dimensions. It is worth adding those in when you search. Note that with the following search, I can select all ideas in the Next stage of the roadmap and display them in reverse order:

Hope this helps!

I understand that it prioritizes based on different variables. But that assumes a certain maturity of process with its customer. Unfortunately, I need a linear mechanism to start.
