Welcome to the community, @Andrew Weisbeck 👋

Hello, @Graham Twine. Welcome to the New to Jira group. 👋

To add (very) little to what @Mikael Sandberg suggests, here is an example search you might use in this case, @Sandra Middleton: Of course, you can use diff. -- better for you -- search criteria. Best, -dave

Hi, @Priscila Vieira. What you are describing is not at all uncommon. However, as you point out the spreadsheets (or powerpoints, or whatever) are out-of-date by the time you assemble all of the data. But what if you could replicate that spreadsheet with real time Jira data? Two Jira add-ons from the Atlassian Marketplace…

In that case, in addition to what @Jack Brickey points out above about upgrading to Jira Cloud Premium to get access to Advanced Roadmaps, you may want to consider Atlassian Marketplace apps that can also help you extend the Jira hierarchy as you wish: Best of luck to you. 👍

Hi, @usman_malik. As @Walter Buggenhout points out above, there are many to be found on the Atlassian Marketplace. This is just an example search. You should choose your own search criteria. Hope this helps, -dave

You're welcome, @Raymond Wohltman! "I agree that Agile is a great approach for developmental work, but there are going to be traditional waterfall projects around for a long time to come." I agree 💯％

Hi, @Archana Keswani. Welcome to the community 👋 It's not really that surprising. Jira has been around much longer than SAFe and it embraced the Agile Manifesto Epic > Story > Subtask hierarchy long ago. Luckily, because of Jira's popularity, there are multiple ways you can extend Jira to address SAFe and/or other…

FYI, according to the article you cite, @Dave Mathijs, that functionality is not yet released (to anyone). But, you may know something that we don't. And, I am assuming the author would update that "Note" when the time comes. "Note: The functionality outlined below in this post is not yet available. We’re currently working…

Hi, @Karin van Driel. IF you are so inclined, you can learn more about Structure (mentioned by @Michael Andolfatto above) on the Atlassian Marketplace. Best, -dave P.S. I work for the company that develops Structure.

Welcome to the community, @Uyen Herault-Huynh 👋 There are a number of ways you might do this using either Atlassian or Atlassian Marketplace extensions. However, the recommendations you seek will depend of what "flavor" of Jira you are using. * Cloud, Server, or Data Center?* Standard, Premium or Enterprise? * Jira…

To add a little to what @Brant Schroeder has already said, here's an example search you can tune to your needs, @Kyle McGee: That's just the first row of the results. There are lots of choices for you to consider. Full disclosure: I work for Tempo, makers of the #1 time tracking solution for Jira. But, as I said, you…

Yikes, @Teodora V _Warsaw Dynamics_!

That's unfortunate. I'm sorry you couldn't find what you needed.

Hi, @Lloyd Bullard. To add (a little) to what @Walter Buggenhout has already said... I work for an Atlassian Marketplace partner. And I can tell you that we — I think all — marketplace partners take your concern into consideration when pricing our products. For example, if we believe only 10% of the total number of the…

It's good to see you were able to solve this yourself, @Manoj Gupta (with an assist from @Kelly Arrey) 👍 If you ever find yourself waiting on an Atlassian Community response to a Structure question you can always reach out to the Structure support team at Tempo directly. Best, -dave

Welcome, @Michel Picard 👋

Yikes! Your sketchy hotel story beats mine for sure, @John Funk

Hi, @Glenn.Weissel. Welcome to the community 👋 Glad you were able to resolve this on your own. You may be interested in the following recorded video sessions on Structure Formulas. Best, -dave

Welcome, @Raymond Wohltman. I am aware of many organizations that use some form of Waterfall project management for some or all of the work they do. It can be done. However, to get you started on the right foot, I'd suggest you think of Jira as a tool that was/is developed for agile software teams first and foremost. It's…

You're welcome, @Kenny Baker.

@Nicholas Ellis _ALM Works_ or @David Niro, can one of you answer @Kenny Baker's question?

Welcome to the community, @Kenny Baker 👋 We may do it live again if there's demand enough. Meanwhile, the previous session was recorded if that helps? -dave

I have many, but the one that really stands out... I once was a last-minute addition to my employer's "booth staff" for a very large trade show in Las Vegas. At the time, it was the kind of show that practically took over the whole city and all of its hotels for the week of the show. The company travel dept had trouble…

Hi, @Stefan Seefeld. Welcome back to the community 👋 The simple answer is, no. Not easily anyway. See @Trudy P Claspill's explanation above. It's still valid. Reason: Jira out-of-the-box is designed for a project, and the work contained in it. Yes, Jira may contain many projects, but you should assume Jira is optimized for…

Thanks for letting me know, Alexa. I have linked the dev ticket to this support ticket as well.

Hi, @Alexa. I am one of the many (other) Dave's at Tempo 😉 Thank you for being a Structure user. I will add your name to the related ticket (which, sorry, we do not expose externally). -dave

Hey, @Mark Trotter. There are also some Jira apps on the Atlassian Marketplace that provide better exporting capabilities that may help. (I cannot vouch for them personally for your use case.) And, there are some advanced hierarchy apps that is some cases can create the board you describe without having to export anything.…

Hi, @Antun Štefančić. You are right. In fact everything about Jira is oriented around project management. It's both a blessing and a curse, IMO. (More of a blessing though.) What you are describing fall broadly under the heading of Project Portfolio Management (PPM), and specifically around time tracking and reporting that…

Hi, @[deleted]. I just want to second what @Trudy P Claspill has already suggested and highlight the fact that Jira's out-the-box time tracking is usually not sufficient for anything more than very rudimentary time tracking. That's why, as Trudy correctly pointed out there are number of competing solutions available on the…
