Is there a standard for custom hierarchy levels in Advanced Roadmaps?

Frederik Vindum September 13, 2022

In Advanved Roadmaps the default issue hierarchy level is Epic -> Story/Task -> Sub-task. There is an option to extend this issue hierarchy with custom named issues.

I am unable to figure out if there is a standard for custom hierarchy levels but I did find two variants on Atlassian sites:

#1 Odyssey -> Initiative -> Epic -> Story/Task -> Sub-task

#2 Purpose -> Vision -> Goal -> Strategy -> Initiative -> Epic -> Story/Task -> Sub-task

Ref. https://www.atlassian.com/agile/project-management/epics-stories-themes

Is there any standard for building the hierarchy above Initiative?

I really have to ask what the purpose of these levels above Initiative are.

How do they improve the planning and project management of a company?

It is per request from the organization. I guess they think they need it.

To comply, I added a Theme level above initiative.
