Great to see the capability to expand epics in a project roadmap to display related issues. Thank you.
Looking forward to/would like to add my voice to the userbase asking to see some ability to add and visualise inter-issue/task dependency from the roadmap also.
I wanted to pull a quick report today for stakeholders showing them the currently "In progress" Epics only. The roadmap's filter function was really helping me with this previously and might be the major reason to use Next-Gen in the first place. However, now that child issues are showing up, it turns out I cannot filter out "To do" or "Done" Epics. As long as an Epic has one child issue matching the filter, the roadmap will display it, rendering the previously neat 5 item list (for the current release) into a list with 20+ items spanning the whole backlog.
Is there a way to turn the "Show children" feature off?
Atlassian Team: With my current project, have no need to map dependencies between epics. I need to map dependencies between stories.
Your idea of what goes into an epic may be a best practice and a fantastic default, but it doesn't match the way the team I work with actually thinks about and organizes our work in our specific environment for thisspecific project. We would appreciate the flexibility to choose what makes sense in oursituation.
@aaron.deyonker-- If you're using next gen: Open the Epic so that you can see the details. You should see a color swatch to the left of the big Epic title. Just click that swatch, and choose a different color. (There are only a few choices.)
@Chris_Gaskins check out our Agile Increment Manager that gives you a view of Epics across increments. Works for both typical and NexGen projects within jira cloud:
@Barb O'Connell I've just been letting some people on this thread know about a plugin we've built that works in classic project (and NexGen). Easy to visualise Epics across increments and their progress. Its free and we are keen to learn and get feedback.
@Armaan Bajwa as per your request, our easy to use plugin shows amount of completion per Epic and per increment. Check it out. Its free and easy to use:
