Global Planning Options

[Anita Pallas]

Hello

What is the best way to gain a better understanding of the combination of advanced roadmaps, teams, labels, components, and other global categories.

1. We would like to better understand our collation of issues across projects for teams based on a high-level category i.e. Marketing, HR, Finance, Development, Design, Support, etc.

2. We would like to better see across projects all the tasks related to a product/system.

For any partner recommendations, I would prefer if they were based in Australia.

Hi @Anita Pallas 

As far as I understand, you're looking for a tool to effectively manage issues across projects in Jira and gain insights into tasks related to various high-level categories.

For managing issues across projects in Jira, I can suggest two main options:

- Jira Software Premium: 

• Advanced Roadmaps: Allows for long-term planning across multiple teams and projects, helping to track progress and dependencies.
• Capacity Planning: Enables teams to plan work based on team capacity, ensuring realistic workload distribution.
• Dependency Tracking: Identifies and manages dependencies across different teams and projects.
• Enhanced Security and Admin Controls: Provides features like project archiving, IP allowlisting, and improved data insights for better management and security.

- DevSamurai's apps integrated with Jira:

• Agile User Story Map, Roadmaps & Persona: Helps in agile planning like sprint planning and backlog management, beneficial for organizing and visualizing work in an agile manner.
• Team Capacity Planning, Time Tracking & Timesheets: Focuses on resource management, offering features for team workload view, task scheduling, and time tracking, which is crucial for managing team capacities effectively.
• Resource Planning, Project Management, Gantt Chart: Provides tools for detailed project planning and tracking, including Gantt charts for a visual overview of project timelines.
• Portfolio Roadmaps, Timeline Gantt-chart & Kanban: Useful for high-level strategic planning, offering tools for managing tasks and priorities across multiple projects, aligning with company goals.
• Asset Management for Jira - IT Assets & Licenses: Offers IT asset management capabilities, tracking hardware and software assets, which is key for IT project and resource management.

I hope this helps!
