Epic-Master User Story -sub User Story -sub-task hierarchy

Yashveer

Hello Friends,

Approach I am planning to follow for below Scenario-  

I have an EPIC (Project 1) at department level.

Same Project 1 has to be worked between different sub-departments on different functionalities (I am considering those as master story for each department like

A. Master user story 1 name = "Project 1 - Master US1 - sub-department 1"

B. Master user story 2 name = "Project 1 - Master US2 - sub-department 2"

C. Master user story 3 name = "Project 1 - Master US 3- sub-department 3"

Then further master user story will be linked to functional sub user stories with the help of "relates to" like

A. Master story 1 name = "Project 1 - Master story 1 - sub-department 1"

  A.1 Sub user Story name 1= Sub US functionality 1

  A.2 Sub user Story name 2= Sub US functionality 2 etc

and so on for master user story 2 and 3.

Is there any better way to organize it?

Looking forward for your valuable suggestions and feedback

Thanks in advance.

Cheers!!

Hello Yashveer,

Analyzing your description, it seems that you can use the already existing hierarchy Epic > Task > Sub-task to achieve your need on JIRA, where:

Epics = Project

Stories = sub-department

Sub-tasks = Sub-Story functionality

Please, check the documentation below to know more details about it:

JIRA Software Hierarchy

P.S: If you need more levels od Hierarchy, you will need to use the plugin Portfolio for JIRA.
