Is there a roadmap function for JIRA Work Management to where we can track multiple projects?

Is there a roadmap function for JIRA Work Management to where we can track multiple project initiatives? We only have JWM product. If not, does anyone recommend a roadmap plugin that we can use in conjunction with JWM?

[Mikael Sandberg]

Hi @Sandra Middleton,

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

There is, but you need Jira Software Premium in order to get access to Advanced roadmaps, or you would need an app from the Marketplace that can do it. The roadmap that comes with JWM can only be used for a single project.

I don't think we'll be getting JIRA Software anytime soon. I'll check out Marketplace. Thanks so much Mikael for the advice!

To add (very) little to what @Mikael Sandberg suggests, here is an example search you might use in this case, @Sandra Middleton:

Of course, you can use diff. -- better for you -- search criteria.

Thanks Dave! I'll check this out. 

Kind regards,

Hi @Sandra Middleton

I fully agree with Mikael that you'll find a good solution on the Atlassian Marketplace!

For a concrete recommendation: Depending on your exact use case, you might like the app that my team and I are working on, JXL for Jira.

JXL is a full-fledged spreadsheet/table view that allows viewing, inline-editing, sorting, and filtering by all your issue fields, much like you’d do in e.g. Excel or Google Sheets - so in a sense, it has some things in common with JWM's list view. However, JXL is fundamentally cross-project - i.e, you can pull in issues from any project, using a JQL statement - plus, JXL supports configurable issue hierarchies; this means that you can declare certain issues to represent higher-level, longer running streams of work, and then use JXL to e.g. sum up values to these streams of work.

This is how this looks in action:

You can also do (nested) groupings, conditional formatting, bulk editing via copy/paste, and much more.

I should add that JXL doesn't currently have a Gantt-style view; if that's what you're after, a different app may be better suited. You may already know that you can trial any app for free for 1 month, and depending on the size of your size, it may be free forever - so perhaps try a few and see which works best for you!

Hope this helps,

Best,

Hannes

Thanks for the suggestion Hannes! I'll check it out.

Kind regards,

Hey @Sandra Middleton - want to throw our hat in the mix (minware) for 3rd party apps. We are uniquely able to blend ticketing + work from version control so our tool is able to navigate from an epic all of the way down to the commit level in a single view:

The gantt charts "roll up" so you can see when work happened and we even offer a predictive roadmap that projects project completion dates based on historical velocity:

Our mission is to help teams get better at estimation so they can deliver projects on time and on budget. Let me know if we can help!
