Roadmap feature

[Melissa_Liotta]

So I received an email talking the Roadmap feature for Jira cloud.  When I find information on how to enable it - I dont have 'feature' in my project settings.   I am also unable to find pricing information or if this is part of our cloud package.  

What I found: https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirasoftwarecloud/roadmap-955164013.html  I pulled up one of my agile boards and then clicked on Project settings > Features -- But I dont have Features.  (I dont see Features for any of my agile boards. )  So I am thinking this is a pluging or addon.

Has anyone else encountered this?  Does any one have any suggestions?

Thanks!

In order to use the new Roadmap feature you must create a new project (existing projects can't use it) and choose the new Next-Gen template. 

Cheers,

Elijah

Edit: Updated from Agility to Next-Gen.

[Melissa_Liotta]

Elijah, 

I wondered about that.  Thank you for the clarification!!

[Jack Brickey]

note the project template "should" be labeled as "Next-gen". "Agility" has been retired as that was the name used during beta.

[Melissa_Liotta]

Gotcha. Thanks Jack.

Is there a cost for existing cloud users?

[Jack Brickey]

no additional cost

But the question is why is this feature not provided for the classical template

It should be upto the admins whether they want to add this feature to their board or not

[Ganesh Babu Vasantha Rajan]

I don't see an Agility template - when i create a new project.. is it the "Scrum" template? - if so then i don't see a Feature option to enable roadmap feature - any help here?

[Jack Brickey]

once you pick the template you can then go into project settings > features, then enable roadmap.

[Ganesh Babu Vasantha Rajan]

Thanks Jack. Now the option shows up.. but it was not there when i tried on Friday. Anyways it is working now. Thanks again.

[amit.mutreja]

@Jack Brickey - This is the way to enable roadmap feature in Next-Gen version of Scrum

But What we are requesting here is to provide "Roadmap" in the classical template as well.

[amit.mutreja]

@Jack Brickey - there is no "Feature" option under Project Settings

[Jack Brickey]

@amit.mutreja , Roadmap is only supported in NG. There is a suggestion open with Atlassian to support but as I understand no immediate plans to support. Feel free to watch/vote for JSWCLOUD-17214

[amit.mutreja]

Thanks. Voted.

But this feature should be added with an immediate effect. I don't understand, why Roadmap is not present in the classical project. It is such a basic need in any Scrum project.

[Yael Dvorin]

 Looked at the above, but can't seem to find where to choose the NG project... would appreciate any help :)

[Jack Brickey]

@Yael Dvorin , are you trying to create a TMP (previously NG) project? Are you an administrator? If not and you don’t see Team Managed Project templates then ask your admin to enable.

[Yael Dvorin]

I am an administrator, but to be honest I can't seem to find the NG (nor TMP) project :(

[Jack Brickey]

check if Create Team-managed projects  is enabled here - https://urcompany.atlassian.net/secure/admin/GlobalPermissions!default.jspa

insert your details in place of urcompany

[Yael Dvorin]

It is..

What should I do next?

[John Funk]

Anybody know if there are plans to put Roadmap in existing (non-Next Gen) projects?

[Melissa_Liotta]

Good question.  That would be GREAT!

[Jack Brickey]

I don’t believe that is planned but you are welcome to provide feedback via the link under your profile avatar 

[amit.mutreja]

It should be added to existing classical projects as well

[Orit Nachshon]

What about Jira server? When will roadmaps be avaialable there?

[Jack Brickey]

There has not been any communication on when or whether this will be brought to Server. 

[scgrimes]

My team would like to see this feature brought to Server as well.

[Jack Brickey]

@scgrimes, you might consider watching/voting for this suggestion - JRASERVER-68153. It is more specific to Next-gen project template but I expect it would be a precursor for the Roadmap feature just as it is in Cloud.

[Dag Tore]

Can Roadmaps/Timeline be applied to existing project?

[John Funk]

Of course - just create the Roadmap/Timeline and it will pull in the existing data if there are dates.

[Dag Tore]

Thanks John. I have done that but nothing happen. -What dates needs to be set for Roadmaps to find them?

[John Funk]

The Due Date and then you should also be able to use Start date and End date. 

What type of project is it? 

[Dag Tore]

It`s a scrum but roadmap is to be applied to all projects we have going, both scrum and kanban.

[John Funk]

Roadmaps are project specific. If you want a roadmap that spans multiple projects, you will need to create an Advanced Roadmap - but you will need to have a Jira Premium subscription to create that. 

[Dag Tore]

Yes I know. We will create one map per project as of now. I still can`t show the created issues in the Roadmap. I think I found something here: https://www.atlassian.com/agile/tutorials/epics

Can existing project be converted to Next-Gen ?

[Jack Brickey]

No. You can create a new project and move issues over.

[Carl K]

Thanks, hopefully it's straight forward enough.
