Hello, I added Story Map app/plug-in my JIRA instance and trying to understand the differences between the story map and advanced roadmap view in JIRA. Both have similar capabilities to add/view different issue types and maintaining the top-level planning view. There is some difference in visualization on how the story map view shows as card layout etc., What are the other differences? What is not available in JIRA Advance Roadmap vs available in Story Map app?
Any insights would help?
When it comes to functionality they might seem similar, but they have different purposes (at least I use them differently). Advanced Roadmap provides you with a high-level timeline view for presenting and communicating the roadmap, and items in Roadmap are usually epics, features, or modules, whereas Story Map is for visualizing and managing the flow of user stories and tasks in the context of user journeys or workflows, useful for planning, defining MVP or specific feature, ensuring that all necessary steps and user interactions are covered comprehensively.
Hi @Senthil V,
That's a great question. While both tools are valuable for project management, story maps are best for understanding and organizing work from a user perspective. In contrast, advanced roadmaps are essential for strategic planning and tracking progress over time.
Here's a breakdown of the key differences to help you decide which one is better suited for your needs:
Focus:
Visualization:
Additional functionalities in Story Map (compared to Advanced Roadmap):
You can try out our user story map tool for Jira which's named ProductGo here (https://marketplace.atlassian.com/1222309). We also provide in the app the roadmap and personas feature to help users fully understand user needs and better control their projects.
Hope it helps 🙌
