Hi @Brian Fletcher , It sounds like you're doing the right thing - my first thought is that the issues might be in a resolved workflow state? If this is the case then there could be several reasons why the issues don't show in a plan - can you check this and if that's the case then I can provide some additional guidance on…

Thanks @Curt Holley - it seems like a sensible idea, but I think it would need to be optional... but we really need to understand the cardinality between teams and boards in practice and this is something we're investigating. Do most users have a 1:1 mapping between board and team? Can multiple teams work off a single…

Hi @Rick Olson , If you're using the "Auto-schedule" capability in Advanced Roadmaps to set the dates then one way of achieving this would be to assign the issues to releases with a fixed start date. The auto-scheduler will not set a start date before the release start date. However, if you're just manually planning then…

Hi @Hisham Balatiah , Happy to help... I've essentially listed the steps in my previous answer but am happy to elaborate on any of them if they're not clear. Regards, Dave

Great article with some great advice! Thanks for sharing!

Hi @tara-ndrc , Sorry for the slow response to your question... unfortunately this isn't possible at the moment and this has come up as a request before. The original intention was that the colouring just provides a way of distinguishing between issues rather than having a direct meaning. We recognise that there is a need…

Hi @ETC DevOps , Sorry for the slow answer to this question.... the short answer, is no it's currently not possible to do this. Something we've been thinking about it the possibility of grouping by team member so that you have nested sub-groups of assignees within each team group and that this could show how much work…

Hey @Smiley me , Can you confirm if you're referring to the Structure add-on for Jira? Or are you looking to filter from the progress fields that you see in Advanced Roadmaps plans? Regards, Dave

@Curt Holley @Hans Meijer Showing lines between dependant issues on a plan is something we're looking at currently, but unfortunately I can't commit on when it will be available ... this is something that will arrive on the Cloud platform before the Server platform though. Regards, Dave

Hi @reinaldo castro , The documentation you've linked refers to the standard "Roadmaps" tool that comes with standard Jira licenses, but your screenshot (and this community space) is for "Advanced Roadmaps" that comes with premium licenses. If you want to view progress of epics (or other issues containing children) in…

Hi @Hisham Balatiah , I would definitely second what @Curt Holley is proposing (and this is how we do it in for our teams). We also have multiple teams working from a single project and we create separate boards for each team. The basic steps to follow are: * Create your plan * Create your teams (commit and share them -…

Hi @Hans Meijer , @Curt Holley has provided the correct guidance on how to configure the dependency management within Advanced Roadmaps so show more than just the default blocks/is blocked by relationship.... however, it's important to note that these relationships are just treated as dependencies. From your question I'm…

Hi @André Tiggelaven , Can I just confirm if you're using the older "Live Plans" interface or the newer improved interface (recently rebranded as Advanced Roadmaps). I'm also wondering if you're using Cloud or Server? It's worth noting that the Live Plans interface has been deprecated so we're not going to be making any…

No worries @Felix Arlandis - happy to have helped!

Thanks for that update @Felix Arlandis - from what you've said I think it's definitely likely to be the start date on the releases that results in the gap. I'd be interested to know if that does turn out to be reason!

Hi @Felix Arlandis , I might have misunderstood the question, but to summarise are you wanting to know why there appears to be a one sprint gap (as indicated by the yellow highlighting on your screenshot)? If so, can I confirm that no issues are scheduled to that sprint that are not currently in view (i.e. they come into…

@Mark.Stewart I don't think we have any specific best practice articles for this, but I personally recommend what you're doing (and is the approach I take) which is to create a board for each team (with a custom JQL filter for issues assigned to the team). I then use those boards as issue sources in my plan so that I can…

Hey @Claire Hevey , That definitely doesn't sound right... you should always be able to narrow a field by dragging the right side to the left (until it collapses into a vertical bar). I'd recommend reaching out to support to help you investigate this problem. I have to admit that it's not something I've seen in practice -…

Hey @Claire Hevey , Do you think you can tell us a little more about the problem you're having when adjusting a field column width? I'd love to be able to help if possible but it's not quite clear what the issue is! Regards, Dave

Thanks for providing that additional info @Mark.Stewart - it's really valuable! One quick follow up question: I am also displaying the Team on the Jira board ...do you mean you've given the board a name that directly maps to the team name? One of the things I'm exploring is whether or not there would be value in setting…

Hi @Renato Rodrigues , Could you provide a bit more information on this problem with maybe some screenshots? One thing I'm wondering is whether or not you have associated the teams that you've created with issue sources for the plan? You can do this by editing each team under the "Teams" tab. Regards, Dave

Hi @Lisy Kane , The documentation page that you've linked to actually related to the old planning interface (commonly referred to as "Live Plans") which has now been deprecated and will no longer be available after 31st July 2021. If you've created a plan recently then you won't be able to switch to the older interface,…

Hey @Mark.Stewart , I just wanted to provide some context around the absence of the direct linking between assignee and team. At one stage (back when Advanced Roadmaps was originally being developed as Portfolio for Jira 3.0 on Server) we were considering having tighter coupling between fields.... So for example you'd only…

Thanks @david.hiatt .... well, I personally use the Teams field in the JQL filters that I use for my boards. I think it's a good way of doing it. I've seen other customers use label or component fields, but I think this provides better context and obviously provides additional value within Advanced Roadmaps plans (i.e. for…

This is actually something that we recognise as being quite confusing and is something I'm looking into at the moment so your question is quite timely! It would be interesting to know what your expectations for a shared team would be (as I'm guessing that it might not be what you expect!) I'm trying to understand how…

Thanks for sharing those screenshots @GoodWhale Admin that helps a lot... The reason you can't see those teams in the JQL is because they have not been shared. This means that the teams scoped to the plan and are not visible outside of that plan. From the meatball menu (in the top-right corner of each team card) you can…

@GoodWhale Admin When you're building the JQL you should be able to start typing the team name and it should appear as an option in the drop-down menu... it only gets converted to a number once you select it. Are you not seeing this?

Hi @david.hiatt , @Curt Holley has done a great job in answering your question, but I'm interested to know if you're using Server or Cloud ? And in particular if you're using Cloud whether or not you're using Atlassian Teams (see https://support.atlassian.com/atlassian-account/docs/what-is-an-atlassian-team/ ) I'm also…

If an issue bar goes off the timeline (either into the past or into the future) then an arrow is shown on it (at the edge of the time frame) and when you click on that arrow the timeframe will adjust so that the start or end (depending on which was out of sight) is shown. There are also presets and the ability to set…

Hi @Max Howarth , As mentioned earlier in the thread - this is something that we're currently working on at the moment, but I can't say when it will be available. I do understand that there might be a preference for scrolling to explore the timeline (if you're a consumer of a plan), but from a planning point of view I…
