Can I add a new hierarchy level above epics in a team managed project?

[Laura Pitkänen]

I found that in company-managed projects there's the possibility to add custom hierarchy, but nothing on doing it in team-managed projects. Is it possible?

Extending the issue hierarchy is a feature of Advanced Roadmaps which is available only in Jira Cloud Premium subscriptions. I have only a Standard subscription so I have not been able to work with Advanced Roadmaps. I don't know how well it works with Team Managed projects.

It doesn't work with team-managed projects yet.  Atlassian is planning to implement it, but I don't know a time-line (If you "create new plan from a project", it lists only my Company Managed projects)

Hi @Laura Pitkänen 

You can use issue links to create your own hierarchy at any level.

If you would be interested in a paid app, to visualize the hierarchy based on the issue links, we have created an add-on to track the progress at each level,

Agile Tools - Epic Tree, Links Tree and Time in Status 

Key features of Links Hierarchy:

• Hierarchy upto 10 levels deep
• Progress % on "remaining estimate" or "original estimates"
• Edit Issue summary, time estimates, story points and assignee on the tree with real time updates in the progress
• Rolled up percentage completion at all levels
• Ability to add/remove the columns on the report

Disclaimer: I work for RVS, the vendor for this app, and I am one of the developers in the team

Thanks Rahul!

Hi @Laura Pitkänen , 

Another option for a 3rd party could be Pivot Report we develop. It allows you to add new hierarchy levels with issue links:

Thanks Dmitry! I'll check this out as well.

Hi @Laura Pitkänen

welcome to the community! Just to add to Trudy's answer: If you're open to solutions from the Atlassian Marketplace, there are a number of apps that allow you view and manage issue hierarchies based on issue links.

E.g., this is how a 5-level hierarchy looks in JXL for Jira (the app that I'm working on):

 

These apps typically work with all kinds of projects, including team-managed ones. 

Hope this helps,

Hannes

Thanks for the tip! I'll check these out.
