About Projects Dates

Does anyone know if it is possible to set the start and end dates of a complete project? Regardless of the start and end dates of the issues inside that project, I need to define information about the project itself, is there a way?

thanks

Hi Maria,

Projects in Jira really relate more to a team or a product and not a traditional project. If you work to work like that, you should use Epics for your project work in Jira. Then you can add Start and End dates to it.

Hi @Noelí Fusco , 

I'm Fede Baronti from Deiser. Nice to meet you. 

As @Trudy Claspill says, there are no fields at Project level for the Start date and End Date in Jira. 

But Projectrak (3rd party app) will allow you to set a Start and End date for every project, plus more fields (on the project level) that will allow you to track your projects (Status, priority, etc). I suggest you try it out, and if you have any questions about it, just let me know. 

Hope this helps!

Gracias por responder Fede! Veo que sos Argentino, yo tmb! te escribo en español para hacerme entender mejor. 

Si, la idea final es poder tener una visualización de todos los proyectos que tenemos, mínimamente con sus fechas de comienzo, fin y estado de avance, pero todo a nivel proyecto, hasta ahora los addons que vi (Ej: @Team Board: ProScheduler) permiten cargar esos datos pero a nivel de solicitudes dentro de cada proyecto nada más. Además de eso buscamos contar con la visualización del capacity por empleado y poder luego realizar filtros con toda esa info. Conocés algún addon que permita hacer todo esto que te comento?

Gracias!

Hola @Noelí Fusco ! Un gusto!

A medida que vayas teniendo necesidades de visualización en Jira, vas a ver que la necesidad de una App de terceros va a ir incrementado. 

Para tu caso concreto de mostrar fechas (comienzo y fin), estado, prioridad, responsables, etc, a nivel de proyecto, creo que Projectrak es la solución que necesitas. 

Projectrak combinado con otras Apps como por ejemplo Tempo planner, ya tendrías algo bastante potente como para llevar el trackeo de los projectos y las capacidades que tenes en cada uno. 

Mi sugerencia es probar qué te puede dar cada app y ver cómo las podés ir completmentando. No es fácil encontrar una que te todo de una. La unión hace la fuerza, cierto?

Espero que ayude en algo esto. 

Gracias a vos!

Hello @Noelí Fusco 

There are no fields at the Project level for Start Date and End Date.

How would you want to use that information? Would you need to display it somewhere or want to be able to filter based on it?

You could create a custom issue type name "Project Info" and set the Start Date and End Date for that issue as a method to record the overall project start and end dates.

Thanks for your answer Trudy! yes i already created a custom issue for the Project info, but we need to see all our projects info, the start dates, end dates, current statuses of each and if its posible, the capacity of resourses. The idea is to be able see the big picture of the portfolio of projects we are working on.-

Thanks

In that case I would recommend that you look at portfolio/project management tools. There are several available from the Atlassian Marketplace. Or if you are willing to upgrade to the Premium plan you can get the Advanced Roadmaps feature built into Jira.
