Project management set-up in JIRA

[Lauren Hogan]

I'm looking for advice on creating a project management board using JIRA. The goal is to have a Gantt chart, with dependencies, that depicts the entire process of a go to market plan, from engineering to customer support to marketing.

We want to have one place for everyone to see the status of tickets, tasks, etc. for 1 epic. 

We also want to be able to do the following: 

1. Visualize the process
2. Have dependencies that automatically update when 1 ticket is changed
3. Be able to sort by when tickets are expected to be completed 

What report or apps would you recommend to accomplish this?

Hi, @Lauren Hogan.  You may want to consider Advance Roadmaps, from Atlassian, which comes with your Cloud Premium subscription.  However, it comes with a "Gantt-like" timeline. I am not sure it will meet the needs you outline.  

You can also search Atlassian marketplace with this search:

https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?category=Project%20management&hosting=cloud&product=jira

or this one:

https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?hosting=cloud&product=jira&query=Gantt

Full disclosure: I work for one of the companies that develops a couple of the apps that will show up in those searches (Structure + Structure.Gantt).

I hope this helps,

You bet.  Good luck!

Let us know you decide to look at Structure + Structure.Gantt. We'd be happy to assist you along the way.

@Dave Rosenlund _Trundl_ I'm testing using Structure + Structure.Gantt! Is there a way to get support while setting up an initial Gantt chart?

Hi, @Lauren Hogan .  You bet. 

By email (gantt at almworks dot com) or through our support portal. 

Operators are standing by ;)

Hi @Lauren Hogan

You may have a look at another plugin mentioned in the list from the link - BigGantt. The plugin is bi-directionally synchronized with Jira, and changes are reflected in real-time. Moreover, you can adjust a view to, e.g., only unresolved issues or switch between views using defined Quick Filters.
