Managing multiple projects, epics, and dependencies in Jira just got a whole lot easier. We’re thrilled to announce the official launch of Portfolio by HeroCoders — a powerful evolution of the Epics Map app, now rebuilt as a full-featured Jira Portfolio Management and Team Capacity solution.
From Visualization to Total Project Oversight
When we first built Epics Map, our goal was to simplify project tracking by bringing visibility to your Jira hierarchies. Your feedback told us we were on the right path—but also that you wanted more: more control, more visibility, and a more holistic view of your work in Jira.
Portfolio delivers just that. It builds on the strengths of Epics Map and expands them into a complete project portfolio management (PPM) and resource capacity solution, all within the comfort of Jira.
What Makes Portfolio by HeroCoders Stand Out
Whether you’re scaling a small team or wrangling a multi-department program, Portfolio by HeroCoders helps product owners, program leads, project managers, and teams visualize and manage their work in Jira. Here's how it works:
🔍 360° Visibility for Smarter Decisions
Bring full visibility to the entirety of your work in Jira. Whether you’re juggling resources to prevent bottlenecks, mitigating risks, or sharing the big picture with stakeholders, Portfolio surfaces real-time insights so you can make decisions quickly and confidently. View your portfolio as an interactive table, pie chart, graph or tree map.
đź”— Alignment Across Teams and Stakeholders
Create tailored views and share them live with anyone—from team leads to executives. Keeping everyone on the same page has never been easier with live-sharing and customizable exports.
đźš© Proactive Risk Detection
Capacity alerts, delivery alerts, and progress bars for parent items, make it easy to identify when deliverables are at risk. You’ll love being able to spot trouble early enough to make the needed adjustments.
🔄 Agile, Adaptive Planning
Enjoy drag-and-drop timelines, inline editing, and flexible layouts that move with your teams so you can adapt your plans as work evolves without losing momentum.
đź“Š Forecasting with Confidence
Track estimates and resource use in a centralized view for better forecasting, stronger accountability, and a more sustainable workload.
