Hi all –
I recently started using Jira Product Discovery and have been really happy with it so far. I used the product roadmap template and have my roadmap built out with “Ideas” already entered and categorized.
I'm now looking to track internal tasks (like hygiene, one-offs, bug fixes, and day-to-day work) but want to keep them clearly separate from the strategic roadmap.
I’m looking for guidance on:
How others handle this in Discovery (e.g., different views? custom fields?)
Whether these internal tasks should be modeled as Ideas, or moved to a linked execution system (e.g., Jira Software)
Any best practices for maintaining a clean separation while keeping everything visible
I don’t want to break the current setup or start using features I don’t yet utilize (like Themes). Is it possible to separate internal tasks like i'm wanting to do? Also, is there a discord community, unofficial is fine, for Jira? I can't seem to find one.
Hi @Atlassian User Dude and welcome to the Community!
I don't think I would manage tasks in Jira Product Discovery. These are actionable items that would go through statuses from to do > In Progress > Done.
As the name of an Idea in JPD suggests, this is the imagination stage where thoughts / suggestions are organised and prepared to become work that can be scheduled and executed later on.
So actual 'work' would be in Jira for me. That might be in a software project, but it can be a business project just as well if it does not need any work related to development activities.
Hope this helps!
Very helpful and much appreciated - cheers and thanks for your time.
