Export an Advanced Roadmap plan to Powerpoint

[jeroen_wilmes]

Unfortunately it is not possible to export a advanced roadmap plan to Powerpoint, other then via a .png file.

Does some one knows a plug-in for that, or even better can we expect it to an upcoming feature in Jira, if so when can it be expected.

Hi @jeroen_wilmes 

You are asking about the option but I would like to clarify also what is actually the reason that you want to put a plan to a PowerPoint presentation? Do you share it with someone that do not have access to JIRA? If so how often? What is not working with exporting this to a static image and including in your presentation? Do you want to make it more dynamic, or there is simply a problem that is exported to a .png file not other format?

And BTW - Do you use Confluence?

If so then maybe would be good to "replace" PowerPoint presentation with a Confluence page Presenter Mode?

Then you can embed probably the view directly to a page?

Hi Mirek,

Thanks for reaching out to me for a better understanding.  I know and we frequently use both Confluence features, but we indeed want to present our Jira Plans to "third parties" who don't have acces to our JIRA plans nor Confluence. 

With the features (scenario, sandbox, remove and replace items, field configurations, we come very close to what we want to communicate with our customers, but there is always a wish to better align your presentation with your customers frame of reference and to avoid information that is not relevant. 

It would be good to hide data that is not relevant, like the issue numbers and the  bar with the releases in the top of the gantt chart and the legenda

And it would be nice if you, only for the presentation can change the summary description. 

The big advantage would be that our customer facing people can adopt to the customer "language" without detaching from the source information, because that is what happens now, the .png is not matching their requirements, so they duplicate information in Powerpoint. Not good for efficiency and not good for data integrity.

Mirek, we have some similar use cases.  All of our folks have access to Jira.  For day-to-day, we use Advanced roadmaps to view and manipulate our roadmaps, and we have some projects where the roadmaps are integrated into Confluence sites.  But these are mostly for our tech community.  Our business side and our parent company are very heavily into the MS Office stack- using PPT, Word, Excel and Sharepoint.

So monthly reporting, business investment cases, and other "higher level" presentations are required to be done in PowerPoint.  Some of our static pictures end up taking multiple slides, and lose the capability to drill down if there are questions about the information being presented.  Having the capability to dynamically present the information from withing PPT would be most beneficial.

Additionally, the Advanced Roadmap is not as effective at visualizing changes in the roadmap from review-to-review with third parties.

In cases with key stakeholders who aren't Jira users who receive updates on a regular cadence, they want to see what has changed from the last time they received an update. Being able to export regularly gives better traceability and side-by-side visualization.
