HI:
This is Atlassian's policy:
Advanced Roadmaps can handle up to four issue sources with no problems. The impact of issues sources beyond this depends on their complexity. Alternatively, if you only need a handful of issues from an issue source, consider moving those issues to a different project or using exclusion rules to only pull in the relevant issues.
I need to add about 20 Projects (issue sources). What type of challenges should I expect?
Totally appreciate your comments.
Lesley
The biggest impact you'll see will be in performance, both in your plan's initial load time as well as the responsiveness of your plan once its loaded. The cause has less to do with the issue sources themselves, and more about how Advanced Roadmaps loads issues into your plan. We talk about it more on the Performance recommendations for Advanced Roadmaps page.
With fewer than four issue sources, these problems are relatively minor but beyond that, it depends on the issue sources themselves:
For this reason, we don't have a cap on the number of issue sources in the same way we do with total number of issues. It really just depends on the user and their needs.
My advice would be to make your plan with your twenty issue sources, then use the steps in the link above to optimize the performance of your plan. These include things like optimizing any JQL queries, removing unnecessary issues from your plan through exclusion rules, things like that.
Cheers
Eddie
Thank you @Eddie Meardon for the great clarification. I do expect to be creating a plan with more issues than I have in the past so I'll be paying attention and implementing the recommendations in the linked article.
My intention is to make the plan utilizing Initiatives in a Scrum of Scrums board but will now consider only going as deep as the Epics involved. Each Initiative will be drawing Epics from multiple projects without bringing in the issues from each Epic.
Hi @Danno I'm a Product Manager in Atlassian and we are working on new changes to enhance the overall performance of Advanced Roadmaps specially for plans with large number of issues (more than 5K issues).
Would you be interested to have a zoom session so that we can learn more about your experience with Plans and how you are using it for large number of issues?
@Mohamed Almoaz yes, I would be interested in talking about it. Send me the details.
Thanks @Danno
this is my email malmoaz@atlassian.com . Please send me an email and will reply back with all the details.
