Epic and Feature

[Kunal]

Hi 

I have created epics and in that I have created feature,  when I go into scrum board I am able to see epics but not feature, any reason why ? and how do I make feature visible on the scrumboard without create subtask/stories ? 

Hi,

I have created Epics, and within them, I have added Features. However, when I check the Scrum board, I can see the Epics but not the Features. Could you let me know why this might be happening? Also, how can I make Features visible on the Scrum board without creating subtasks or stories?

Thank you!

@Jack Brickey  here is the screenshot , i have added the filter

Hi @Kunal checking with you if the field "main delivery team" is present in all the issue types (epic, story, task, subtask) and in case yes, is it always correctly populated? 

your filter retrieve only the issues that have the Main delivery team populated. 

Another question, do you have "Scriptrunner Enhanced Search " app?

regards

Hi @Laura Pellizzari  based on the filter setting , it is populated everything I need to see  , but same is not visible in scrum board , yes i have Scriptrunner Enhanced search app

As a test, I would change your filter to simply be the project and then assess the board. Obviously, you can easily change it back later.

You can also click on edit filter and see if the feature issues that you expect to be in the board actually show up. Finally do these feature issues showing the backlog possibly?

[Kunal]

@Jack Brickey  I did checked that , when I setup the filter it showed me everything , but when I go on the board it will only bring subtask and epics

[Kunal]

@Jack Brickey  with just filter as feature and  other one is with feature, epic, subtask , I see below 

[Jack Brickey]

Are the features shown in backlog?

[Kunal]

unfortunately  not

I think I am getting confused here. Based on the issue type icons in your images above it seems to show epics (purple icon) and stories (green icon). Maybe you re-used the story icon for feature? Further I don't see a feature type in your other image of issue type hierarchy. Are you sure that you have a Feature type in this project? When you create a new issue do you see "Feature" in the drop-down?

[Kunal]

it is per the attach

Hi @Kunal , if this is a Company managed project please check the board configuration to see if the board's filter might be the reason these issue types are being excluded. 

1. click on ellipses in upper right of board
2. in the General tab check Board filter

Please feel free to share a screenshot of your board if this doesn't help.

Hi

Scrum board are designed to provide the hierarchy Epic-Story-Task-Subtask. If you linked the Feature within the Epic (use one of the linking option), the feature cannot be displayed in the Scrum Board as owned by the Epic. Please create Story/task under your Epics to have them displayed correctly in your scrumboard.

@Kunal , what level is the Feature issue type? By default, Jira comes with Epic as a level 1 issue type, and Story as a level 0, subtasks are -1 below Story. I was assuming you created a feature issue type as a level 0. Laura's response gave me pause to question this.

[Kunal]

@Jack Brickey  I got attach setting 

[Jack Brickey]

I don't see Feature?

[Kunal]

@Jack Brickey  should it be in level 1 , 2 or 3 ?

[Jack Brickey]

Well I guess that is up to you. What does a feature mean in your process? Will a feature include epics or will features be implemented within the context of Epics?

[Kunal]

It will be epcis--> feature-- > subtask 

[Jack Brickey]

It seems to me that you need to create a new issue type called feature and set it to level 0. Basically you want a feature to equate to a Story. Please note that a level 0 issue type is intended to be completed within a single sprint. So if a feature takes more than a single sprint. Then you might want to consider using Epic to represent a feature.

@Kunal can you populate Feature with the parent Epic?
