Can Epics Appear in a Program without Scheduled Start and End Dates?

[Kelli Archer]

Does a Roadmaps program only show Epics with Schedule Start and End dates?  Or is there a way to show all Epics including epics without Scheduled Start and End dates?

Thanks,

Hi @Kelli Archer 

Within the program are there any filters currently set, as Epics should appear if they have dates set or not.

[Kelli Archer]

I do not believe so looking at both the Scheule and Scope views I do not see any filters.  And we are using the Data Center version if that makes a difference.  Thanks!

I looked at one of the 3 plans in the Program and I see all the Epics in the Plan are in the Board being used in that plan.  Yet only 1 of the 6 Epics showing in the plan appear in the program.  Also, all 6 Epics have the same Fixed Version set.  What else should I be looking at to determine the issue?

Hi @Kelli Archer 

What is the last time the program was synchronised?

[Kelli Archer]

Well, I actually did synch it yesterday and it had not been done previously.  But the results I reported above are still present after the synch.

What does the configuration of the plan say.

[Kelli Archer]

Sorry not sure what I need to look at in the plan to answer the question about the configuration of the plan.  What do I need to review in the plan?

Thank you Ravi, for confirming.  We have a user that has created a Program but is not seeing Epics without dates in the program.  Is there anything specific we need to do to have the Epics without dates appear?  Or is there Atlassian documentation you can point me to that would guide us?

Hi @Kelli Archer 

Epics can also appear without these dates. In fact when you start planning the epics will not have dates and you can use Advanced Roadmap to create a schedule and commit changes to your epics.

I hope it helps.
