Hello,
We started using advanced roadmaps, but I don't understand the design of it. The core category for the swim lanes are epics. But as far as I can understand epics are used to categorize large blocks of work that can cover multiple releases, in which the scope can change (this is even documented here https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/what-is-an-epic/). We use epics to categorize work in different themes, which is very useful. However, if we want to now make a release roadmap (for which we use versions, like everyone else I guess?), then how would you create a one if we can only work with epics as the main category?
I feel like the swimlanes should have been categorized on versions, not on epics.
The only workaround I see is to make each release into an epic, but that completely defeats the purpose of having version and epic as two ways to organize your issues.
Am I lacking some understanding in how these roadmaps are ought to be used? I'm interested in visualizing our coming 2-3 releases in a timeline, and see the status of the work being done so far.
I'm going to answer my own question. I was looking at the regular 'Roadmaps', and not 'Advanced Roadmaps', which you can find under 'Plans'.
