Hi Ive installed trial for Jira cloud premium but I failed to understand how to install jira roadmap - what am I missing? Do you have the support for cloud? @Roi Fine do you have any support for Jira cloud?
@Roi Fine thanks as I understand you are not working yet with next gen. Im waiting for that, as soon as you release I will upgrade to premium and check it. I would like to be your Beta :-) Do you have any eta?
@Roi Fine Thank you so much for taking the time to create these videos.
Where would be the best place for me to better understand the following (docs, video, etc.):
Team/user setup & how it associates to capacity planning
Like some others I have certain individuals who will do certain work & I have assigned them epics or stories as part of our initial planning
I have other issues that could be picked up by several users on a team & the team approach makes sense for capacity planning
How AR is using the dates fields relative to the estimates (Number of hours, story points, etc)
I would expect to set one side of a date & the estimate/team capacity would define the end date but that is not happening.
How AR uses the dependencies (dependency, blocks, must be finished with...ect)
I have some issues that have dependencies defined & yet AR has them on the calendar concurrent - I would expect it to automatically move something that is blocked after it predecessor
Cool videos @Roi Fine . I've been looking for a long time for some instructions of how to use the roadmap feature in Jira cloud and have just started experimenting it with my teams.
I still have some questions about the way one should plan and assign to teams. In our setup each team has its own space as they operate completely independently.
Then I have a space for myself as the pm running the initiatives.
It would be great if you could shoot a video that explains a sample end to end flow.
Usually the PM starts with an initiative. an EPIC or something above it. during grooming we start creating the user stories.
1. where should we create the stories. in what space?
2. then say we create them on the product space how do we move them to the team's spaces easily.
3. will they still be connect to the epic if we move them to a different space and will I still see progress with these?
Something I have been wondering for a long time, can you assign more than one team to an issue? Very often, the hardware and the software teams are working together on a story. It always kind of annoyed me that Jira wasn't able to define more than one estimate for a story. Does that become possible with Advanced Roadmaps?
@Marc Schreiber I had the same problem. in my case I use EPICs as a cross team item and user story is a team based level.
So in case I have an item that two team are working on, they work on different user stories.
guess you can also do that on the sub-task level, but I actually have a different project per team, so I needed to have the split on the user story level, as this is the lowest level that is project specific.
@Amir Baruch Thanks for sharing. This is indeed a solution but it strikes me that we have to find a workaround to get something done that looks logical. As its name implies, a user story is seen from a user perspective (independent of our resources) and not from a team perspective. Didn't they state that we should not adapt our processes to the tool but the tool to our processes?
Well yes, but Jira is far from perfect in that regards. very rigid an inflexible.
I also don't try to fixate myself to much to the terminology (EPIC, Ticket, User Story). At the end of day these are tickets with hierarchies and you need to find the right place to store what you want. For example you can treat EPICs as User Stories and place there the user story definition and group EPICs in Initiatives in order to create themes.
Does anyone know why the bars aren't showing up in the plan, even though the epic is showing on the left? I set a target start and end date in the issue view.
I've searched the net for a good demonstration of using Jira Plans for capacity planning of Kanban teams (time tracking), but had no luck. Do any exist?
Could we have the possibility of capacity planning by Assignee please? My teams have individually assigned work, and don't share work, so I'm using a workaround by creating multiple teams of one. Which works well to factor in the individual work hours/days of team members.
Can you add Priorty to the colum filter on Plans? Seems obvious we would wasn't to filter by priority.
@Roi Fine Great, to the point, and informative videos to get you up and running. Thanks! Do you have any videos around shared teams and story points or point me in the right direction?
A team has an issue source (scrum board for example). Still, we need to add set the team field on the individual stories before we can properly group by team.
So we must define the issue source for the team + select the team in the team field for every item in that source. This feels like double work.
Any suggestion on how to improve this? With an automation rule for example?
