How to add dependencies in my project plan from other projects?

[Ana Cornejo]

My team utilizes Jira for project management, housing all initiatives within a central project. Project plans are subsequently developed for these initiatives. Collaboration with other teams often involves them creating related tasks in their respective Jira projects. While I can link these tasks via issue linking, a critical limitation arises: I cannot establish dependencies between these linked tasks and my primary initiative's tasks, nor do they appear on my main project plan. I seek a solution to this challenge. Is it feasible to incorporate these external tasks as dependencies and visualize them within my project plan? Furthermore, what are established best practices for cross-team collaboration within Jira when using one project plan as the central hub for an initiative?

Hi Ana - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

You probably want to base your Plan on a JQL Query and not a project or board.

You might want to check the hierarchy setting? If you are using initiative issue type, I think the next level you can put is Epic issue type, then story issue type, before sub-tasks.

You might want to check the Plan feature of JIRA premium where you can configure specific views on your specific issue types.
