Parenting a team-managed epic with a company-managed initiative is now possible

[#1]

Parenting a team-managed epic with a company-managed initiative is now possible in Jira Plans, available on Premium and Enterprise subscriptions.

Scaling agile with Jira Software may mean you have a mix of company and team-managed projects running at any one time.

To help you better integrate work across project types, you can now assign a company-managed initiative as a parent to a team-managed epic. Configuring a hierarchy level above epic is only possible in Premium or Enterprise editions.

This could apply to scenarios where an autonomous team needs to work in a unique way while contributing to and reporting on progress towards a common initiative from another project.

There are two ways to re-parent a team-managed epic to a company-managed initiative:

• Simply drag and drop your epics in the timeline view of your plan as you would in any company-managed project

• Re-parent the issues in your backlog / issue view
