Swimlanes more than 3 lines

Question

Hi,

We use more than three layers for different Spaces, such as
BV initiative, Epic , Feature, story , sub task
Is it possible to visualize this on the board using Swimlanes? I don't see this in the board settings, only Feature and no higher level. See attachment.

Grtz.  Eric

Hello @Eric Roetenberg

If you want to replicate the same mechanism as the Epic (Epic per line and its related tasks) or Stories (parent task per line  and subtasks), I don’t think the other swimlane options will work.

The query (jql) will only return one line per ticket type, but not the tasks underneath it, so we can’t reproduce the same behavior.

If the need is not limited to the board, there are other tools, and I’m thinking in particular of Plans (Advanced Roadmaps) to visualize different levels (it’s free on Cloud Enterprise).

Hi @Eric Roetenberg

As mentioned you can create swim lanes based on JQL queries to create different lanes where issues of a type will be listed.

You can't have multiple layers on selecting like on Epic and the lanes are show per Epic and there child issues in the lane.

If you want such a setup, you could start using a Plan, as you are on an Enterprise tier.

Hello @Eric Roetenberg

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

You could use the Queries option from the dropdown and setup JQL such that each JQL fetches an Issue type.

For eg:

worktype = BV initiative

worktype = Epic and so on

I hope this helps!

Thanks
