Hi, @Mathieu Canourgues. I'm afraid @Jacob Vu is correct. The Roadmaps feature in standard Jira will not do this for you. The Advanced Roadmaps feature in Jira Cloud Premium or Entrerprise will. Or, you can use a Marketplace app with the Jira you already have. BigPicture is one, but there are many more.…

Hi, @Vye Alexander. Welcome to the community. It looks like you are off to an awesome start with Structure Formulas! I've asked one of my colleagues to take a closer look and suggest a fix. Stay tuned 👍🏻 -dave 

Welcome!

Not to "rain on" @Jacob Vu's advice, but Advanced Roadmaps is no longer available for Jira Server (unless you already happen to have it). It is now only available in Jira Cloud Premium and Jira Data Center. There are however a number of Jira add-on applications in the Atlassian Marketplace that do similar things should you…

x2 on the welcome, @Tina Sampath. Jira Core (on-prem) or Jira Work Management (cloud) are geared more towards projects that aren’t necessarily following Agile software development principles. However, the majority of community members are probably doing some form of Agile. You might have better luck asking for examples of…

Hi, @Jim Stewart. You may also wish to explore apps that let you create WBS boards where you can organize Jira issues according to their dependecies (i.e., hierarchically) — even if they are not in the same projects. This search will help you get started:…

Haha... Nic and I were answering at the same time. He explained why to do it this way, I included a pretty pic. ;)

Welcome to the community, @Rob B. It's easy... go to the "+" menu, start typing "child" and select the "Children Display" macro. -dave

Welcome to the community, @nathaniel stephens! Are you working with Jira Cloud or Jira Data Center? You may wish to add this and fill in a few other blanks on your profile. That way, when community members answer questions you post, they can do so in the right context. :) Best, -dave 

Hi, @Brendan Murphy. Does your company qualify for the 75% discount Atlassian offers for "registered charitable non-profit organizations that are non-government, non-academic, non-commercial in nature, non-political, and have no religious affiliation?" If so, we may be able to offer the same discount for Structure &…

Hi, @Brendan Murphy. In my experience, you are not alone. Many organizations have a mix of Agile (maybe even multiple flavors of Agile) and Waterfall methodologies. Also from experience, I have seen many Atlassian customers struggle with exporting to MS Project or other tools because the data can become stale as soon as it…

Hi, @Luciana Padua. For that specific question, I only have first-hand knowledge of Structure. It supports team-managed projects, yes. Unfortunately, I am not familiar enough to say for sure for any of the others. Hope this helps, -dave [ALM Works] 

Hi, @Martin Fukatko. To add to what Dmitrii said, you (anyone) can also keep an eye on the Structure Cloud roadmap to see what's coming next. And, you can add your vote to our priority-setting process anytime by reaching out to our support team via our support portal. -dave [ALM Works]

@Karen Waterlander: I can honestly say you are the first detassler I've ever met — digitally or otherwise. Lol Welcome to the community!

Hi, @Kristján Geir Mathiesen. My first job, as a teenager, was in an ice cream warehouse. It was my job to work in the large freezer, preparing/loading the trollies that would be taken outside and loaded on the delivery vehicles by the drivers (who would check my work and sign-off that they had the right items for the next…

Hi, @Luciana Padua. Welcome to the community. The simple answer to your question is, unfortunately, no. If you want to keep that hierarchy, you will need an add-on. Here's a search that will show options you may wish to consider. https://marketplace.atlassian.com/addons/app/jira/top-selling?hosting=cloud&query=hierarchy…

Hi, @Elizabeth Sangers. You can find Structure on the Atlassian Marketplace if you want to have a look. Structure was originally created because of a popular Jira enhancement request from someone who was looking for sub-tasks of sub-tasks. Hope this helps, -dave [ALM Works]

Thanks for the additional info., @Chris Williams. I think what all of us (above) are trying to say is, "yes - there is a way." We are also saying you might be better off using a 3rd-party app to do what you describe ( cuz we've seen this sort of thing before and think it might be easier that way ;) ). However, if you want…

That's okay, @David Dsouza. Whether they are using SAFe or not, you can create the hierarchy (parent-child relationships) you describe above. There is no right or wrong way (IMO). You just have to keep in mind that Jira expects you to use an Epic > Story > Sub-task hierarchy. You CAN add a Feature issue type, and use an…

Welcome, @Ruslana Smirnova.

Hi, @Tracy Gallant. It's not necessary to use sprints to create some form of progress report. What is necessary is that your team is recording progress in some fashion -- e.g. story points completed or hours worked. And, that you have a way of showing that information, it sounds like you're looking for a visual way — like…

@Alex Koxaras -Relational- is right, @Chris Williams. Structure.Gantt can definitely help you. (Note that Structure.Gantt is an extension to Structure for Jira, so you'd have to start there.) Your other alternatives are Advanced Roadmaps (from Atlassian - only available on Jira Cloud Premium), or one of the many Gantt…

You can find Structure on the Atlassian Marketplace, @Jack Howard. Best of luck, -dave [ALM Works]

Welcome to the community, @David Dsouza. First, you have to keep in mind Jira Software is built around the assumption that most Jira Software customers use an (Agile) Epic > Story > Subtask hierarchy. It sounds like your company, along with many others, prefers a different hierarchy. You are not alone. Many companies use…

Hi, @siva karamcheti. It sounds like you may be using SAFe with Jira? Unfortunately, I think most people would agree "as is" Jira needs a little help to implement SAFe. In fact, Atlassian acquired a company to address this need. The resulting product — Jira Align — supports cases like yours (and then some), but not exactly…

Hello, @Hiten Rajpal. Welcome to the community! Unfortunately, there is no concept of "folders" in Jira. One can create new, custom issue types, and conceptually speaking, nest those under one another with issue links (parent/child relationships) but I don't think you will be able to visualize those as you depict above.…

Hi, @Alejandro Sanchez. Welcome to the community! I agree with @Fabian Lim. Jira, "out of the box," doesn't include built-in Gantt capability. However, there are a number of options, including Atlassian's own <Advanced> Roadmaps. It includes something they describe as a "Gantt-like feature." You'll have to tell us which…

Thank you for choosing Structure, @Adi Lerner. Please feel free to reach out to our support team any time with any questions you may have about your use cases. In particular, we'd love to show you how the Linked Issues section in the Jira issue view — with its link and issue types — reflects the hierarchy you create with…

Hi, @Sintarose Jose. To add to what @Nic said. * (Advanced) Roadmaps (Atlassian) Atlassian Marketplace Apps * https://marketplace.atlassian.com/addons/app/jira/top-rated?hosting=server&query=hierarchy Unfortunately, Advanced Roadmaps is not available for Jira Server (only Data Center or Cloud Premium or Cloud Enterprise).…

Hi, @Preet Inder Singh. Do you happen to know which Gantt solution you are using? If you are unsure, please ask a colleague and let us know. Then, someone can probably help. :) -dave
