Getting temporarily rid of "Hierarchy" sorting in Advanced Roadmap

[Jörn Hofer]

Hi,

maybe someone can help me out here.

We want to use Advanced Roadmap in Jira Cloud Instance.

We had already a kind of "Initiative"-project before. We used Epics for Multiproject-Tasks and every Subproject referenced to the epics of this Mainproject

We have a Board to rank the epics.

But sometimes we have tasks, which only belong to only one project. And sometimes these must be prioritized by our stakeholders.

These tickets are made directly inside of the subprojects (so we don't need to duplicate them)

To show them up on our board, we used a marker like "Needs prioritization".

That works very well so far. And it maybe also works in advanced roadmap, if I'm able to completly disable the hierarchical View. At the moment, even a top ranked single project task would always show up at almost the end of the plan.

Would be perfect, if i could make a View without it, but still have the normal views for Initiatives, Teams and so on.

any sugesstions?

Best Regards,

Joern

Hi @Jörn Hofer 

You could perhaps select Hierarchy: Epic to Sub-Task and then order by start date. Then to move issues up you can just make the start date earlier.

Do you use Epics or Tasks when you mention subproject?

Hi Stuart,

thanks for your reply.

Rank would be the best, because, if i change the rank inside of the Plan it would also reflect on the other Boards just for the single projects. Also, if i sort it by Start Date, it still sorts the Epics and the Stories separated.

We're using Task-Types like "Story" and "Concept" inside of the subporjects. Subprojects have normally no epics (because epics most of the time also "hit" other projects)

I think i only want a view like the backlog-view of normal boards, without epic panels, but with the extra Informations of a plan. Originaly the stories are sorted like this. (Rank).

This Board is using a filter like this:

project = GASDUMEPIC AND issuetype = Epic OR project in (jhodummy_other, jhodummy_shop) AND "GASDUMEPIC Relevant[Checkboxes]" = Yes ORDER BY cf[10600] ASC

I know i could work instead with a board and a plan. But you know such stakeholders.. they don't like two places to work with :-)

Best Regards
