Thanks for new next gen projects and roadmaps. A quick question on roadmaps, Can this be only plotted against Epics? What about plotting the same against versions? If portfolio is also being used, can this be plotted against features or themes?
I have feature requests for the next gen projects.
When having estimates switched on not only story points, but as well original time estimates are required for those users outside of software development
And then further by having estimates on the issues, it would be awesome to see the sum of remaining estimates as well on the top of the kanban columns. Currently you guys only have the info on the backlog board but by having it on the kanban columns a user or leader could easily state how much efforts he has in the pipe line. This is a great and simple info to estimate when the worker is ready for new issues and respectivley when he could deliver it.
Please don't forget to implement the concept of permissions schemes and Security Levels.. The usage of the system can be simplyfied, but we have complex schemes such as an assignee should only see the task associated to him in a project, or such as having external users having access to a dedicated set of issues in a project.
These are great. There is a mention of the ability to embed these in Confluence 'coming soon' from Nov 2018. Do you have an ETA on this please @Jason Wong?
Marketplace Partners provide apps and integrations available on the Atlassian Marketplace that extend the power of Atlassian products.

Just heads up that while time tracking is not yet available in Next-Gen projects, some third-party add-ons provide that functionality.
Clockwork Automated Timesheets gives that option too (Log Work, Edit/Delete worklog entries according to permissions, project report - timesheet). It is a free app.
@Jason Wong Hi, when starting a Sprint, I can add the Sprint Goal in a textfield. However, after closing the Sprint, there is no way to retrieve the content of that textfield anymore, thus no way of seeing the Sprint Goals.
Could this be added to the Burnup Report, for example? I inserted a simple element to show that this would be enough for me to at least see the Sprint Goal :-)
I would like to switch my existing next-gen project to the Kanban template!? I need the possibility to assign my tasks to a version (e.g. fix fersion or affected version)?
Trying to use Jira canned responses app from the marketplace with the next-gen projects but doesn't seem to be loading. Is there any limitations in terms of the app we can use?
How about if you DON'T want a next gen? I want the classic, and I am having a hell of a time trying to figure out a way of moving my three issues from my project into a classic project. Next GEN is way too limiting for me.
If you have tickets in a next-gen board, I assume you just bulk edit the issues and move them to a classic project, map the status and done.
I do want to stress out that next-gen is limiting in a positive way, if you want to go back to the foundation of Scrum, or any other Agile framework. All those excessive reports, workflows, adjustments on so many different locations to just make a single change, do you really need all that?
I am really happy that we moved to a next-gen board, it simplified the process a lot.
If we need a more complex proces (lanes ordered by Epics, assignees based on Epics and status, etc), we set up a classic board. But I would recommend to simplify processes to make agility in development as easy as possible.
The initial issue was actually finding the bulk edit (as I posted on another thread). I finally did find it and did just that. However, since my first project, the fields that show up for my classic projects are no longer exactly the same as when I started. However, I figured out that JIRA adapted to what I was trying to do previously. For instance, in the beginning, I used "change the start date" so I could have a time stamp of when I opened an issue. Now, change the start date no longer appears (even though it is among the list of fields) and the time opened appears. And a couple of other similar things.
This is a huge deal for any project. The ability to change the working days. We work 7-day work weeks (because we are remote devs that work our own schedule)
Please get the ball rolling on at least letting us configure the days.
I´m very interested in the new Jira Software because I see many videos explaining about the integration of Jira and Confluence and link between this tools and I think that will delivery many facilities to project managers and agile coachs
