How can I get a basic backlog structure showing- Epic-Feature-Story-Task in one page?

[Magnus Johnard]

Hello, 

I want to use this basic SAFe structure to organize my backlog and I can't see an easy way to do that in Jira. It is no out of the box functionality. 

Have anybody else experience of how to do it? 

Epic

• Feature
  • Story
    • Task (Dev, Test, etc)
    • Bug

Hello @Magnus Johnard

To have this feature you would need a plugin like Portfolio or Big Picture or Structure (ALM works)

These plugins provide the ability to see the bigger picture and also create issues under parent issues from the plugin interface itself. Also, the plugins provide gadget which can put on dashboard so that the complete Hierarchy is visible to everyone in the project/program level.

All these are paid plugins. From my personal experience I would suggest to stick to 3 levels of hierarchy and not more than that. Because if you go beyond 3 levels then reporting becomes quite complex as users/admins are expected to write pretty complex JQL queries.
