Hi,
In a very dynamic environment, many stakeholders affect the content of a release. Epics are added to a scheduled release, and others are removed, as priorities change and constraints are discovered. I would like to review the contents of a release periodically, and see which content was added or removed, to make sure our priorities are correctly aligned. Is there an elegant way to accomplish that?
Thanks!
Hi @Gold, Yoram and welcome to the Community!
There is no automatic reporting available in Jira to uncover when epics (or other issues) were added to or removed from a release. The goal of the release concept (technically) is to make sure you can group the items you are working on towards this future goal/MVP, facilitate the process of releasing in a controlled manner and documenting what you actually did include in a released version.
Epics are at a higher level of a common roadmap. It is normally the story/task level issues that you would actually be adding to a release. So if priorities change at the epic level, I would assume this is a more strategic decision. And so I would expect at least some form of process to be in place around that.
While Jira is a super tool to plan and track work related to execution, it is not your best friend when it comes to documenting decisions. So I would rather recommend to use a documentation tool (like Confluence) to document the history of such roadmap decisions. It will make it much easier to find afterwards.
Hope this helps!
