I stumbled upon "Advanced Roadmap Features" but I can't figure out a way to enable them in Jira. I already have next-gen projects and am using roadmaps, but I can't find how to enable the features outlined in the article below (for example creating and visualizing dependencies)
https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirasoftwarecloud/premium-roadmap-features-968680505.html
Very true... "next-gen" = less futures, doesn't seem very "next generation". Next-generation suggest to take "the previous generation" and make it better, not worst or without essential futures, and what is even worst, to promise some development/futures and then drop it without clearly communicating so... bad atlassian! bad!
Am I missing something? We have Premium and do not see an option for roadmaps in our classic.
@Brian Robison All the Advanced Roadmaps features are available in the plans dropdown in your top navigation. Hope that helps!
Atlassian: any updates on when Advanced Roadmap will be available with Next-gen?
Is there a third-party add-on that provides similar features on next-gen you can recommend until that is available?
I am using roadmaps on paid jira classic but would like to enable advanced roadmaps - is this as a separate cost if yes? how do i enable it?
Nope, it doesn't work with next gen project boards. I'm only using next gen, so not at all useful.
@Josh Frank can you clarify this? Seems that many people (including me) are waiting for Advanced Roadmap being available for Next Gen projects.
Unfortunately when It will take a longer time from now we need to make some other strategy business decisions in order to keep our processes optimized and continued.
Hope you can inform us all about the current progress/time line.
(Although we like to hear that it will be available soon, no is also an answer)
thanks!
Hi @BenjaminIt remains something we are looking into, but unfortunately I can't share a timeline for when this will happen.
@Bruno Advanced Roadmaps is a feature in Jira Software Premium. You would just need to start a trial of Jira Software Premium from your account.
I just read this thread and the announcement here:
https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-articles/Introducing-Advanced-Roadmaps/ba-p/1378497
I get that there are probably under-the-hood reasons in the software that the Advanced Roadmaps rolled out this way - but wow! You took a feature that customers first saw for 18 months and got excited about on NextGen projects, then developed an advanced version of it and rolled it out (along with the original basic version) in Classic projects - without even a timeline for when the users who were originally excited about it and asked for it can get it for their projects?
I mean, my bad for not learning this first, but I just had my company start a trial of Premium just so we could try Advanced Roadmaps on our NextGen projects. We want that better project planning capability in our Kanban Roadmaps!
When will that happen? It's been another week+ since the last post saying there isn't a timeline.
I used 10 minutes of the Premium trial to find out that all of my projects aren't being supported.
I actually found out that fact only by this forum because there isn't any indication to that that this feature isn't being supported
Anyway, without a timeline, the Premium doesn't give much value to us
I agree that investing for premium just for road-mapping is not worth enough - Perhaps, if you have a strategic plan why you migrate, go for it. If your goal is to use road-map, there a quite a few good alternatives. I have done quite significant study on road-maps and finally settled with EasyAgile Road-maps - It's extremely cheap and reliable - try that.
@Josh Frank (or anyone else from Atlassian) I'm really hoping Advanced Roadmaps will be released for Next Gen soon. My company's about to do a large planning session for 2021 and I'd rather use Advanced Roadmaps than swap to a different product for planning.Is there a ticket on Atlassian's public-facing JIRA page that I could throw a vote in for? Is that the best way to influence the prioritization of Advanced Roadmaps for Next Gen projects?
Answering my own question -- it SEEMS to be this ticket, but hard to tell because that seems like an overly specific problem (one of many that might have to be resolved to release Advanced Roadmaps for Next-Gen)
Hi @NIROSHAN MADAMPITIGE
Thanks for the feedback on Easy Agile Roadmaps! We're glad we can provide a valuable alternative to Advanced Roadmaps for you and your teams.
Kind regards, Stephanie Seymour | Easy Agile
Can't believe that Advanced Roadmaps is not working for next Gen projects. This is so annoying und non-logic, that I am speechless.
If anyone wanted to use Advanced Roadmaps mainly to get a birds-eye of their program on a single page, I recently released Program Tree.
It's compatible with both Next-Gen and Classic projects.
It doesn't have a timeline view for planning like Advanced Roadmaps, but lets you:
- Group all your projects and issues into a single page view using nested JQL queries
- Create levels of hierarchy above Epics (without needing to manually link your Epics to a higher level issue type).
- Track the estimate progress of every level of your issue hierarchy.
I created it so I'm obviously biased, but it may serve the needs of some of you.
Oh this is so unfortunate to be in Premium only, This should be standard to be able to have normal granular project issue organizing with roadmaps. Or please just make issues to be available on gantt view on normal roadmaps.
@Josh Frank Is there an update? My company just purchased Premium so that we could use the Advanced Roadmaps feature, and now (about a year after the last official update) it's still not available? This is a significant problem, as upper management was told we'd have this feature ready for their use.
I echo the frustrated comments of many others that "next gen" means less features. I've used Jira for many years, and this is a difficult pill to swallow.
---[ EDIT ]---
Aaaaaand...wow. After much searching elsewhere (NOT on Atlassian sites) I find the answer. "Plans." Not named "Advanced Roadmaps" or available via the "Roadmap" link in project navigation, but "Plans."
Not intuitive, Atlassian. Not intuitive at all.
Hi @Sabrina Beach I do indeed have an update - We’ve completed scoping and started working on this. We will be supporting:
This is a large piece of work touching many different parts of Jira, we will provide ship dates and Early Access Program details as we get closer to release both here and on the Jira Cloud Public Roadmap and appreciate your patience in the interim.
Please follow along here https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSWCLOUD-20012 by adding yourself as a Watcher (top right) to receive updates.
@Sabrina Beach - I am a Jira Admin on Cloud. We just upgraded to Premium and for the life of us can't figure out how to enable Advanced Roadmaps.
Can you provide the steps how you did it?
It seems crazy that Atlassian doesn't have pop-up helpers to guide you when you change the plan.
Thanks much!
@Tara L Conklin Hi! This is a horrible UI issue....Advanced Roadmaps are found in the top level navigation under "Plans." Why Atlassian calls it two different things is frustrating, at best.There was nothing I needed to enable.
Ugh. then something on our side isn't configured correctly because when I upgraded Jira, the subscription does show we are in our 30-day premium trial window but 'plans' does not show up on our nav bar.
It looks like you're new here. Sign in or register to get started.
