Roadmap - tracking epics in a project

[Paulina Lisik]

Hi All,

I have a question about data visualization in a project.

In this case, epics are used as projects in one project (department). 

How can I prepare a dashboard to see work progress on each epic? Is it possible to create epics roadmap in a project?

Thanks in advance :)

@Paulina Lisik It is possible to create Epic Roadmaps using a next-gen type Jira project. Please find the link here to enable the Roadmap. https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/enable-the-roadmap/

 @Sramanth Pandeti Thank you so much for your answer. Unfortunately, I am in a classic project. Is it possible to create a similar roadmap in a classic project?

[Sramanth Pandeti]

@Paulina Lisik Good news. It looks like Atlassian released the beta version of roadmaps in classic projects 2 days ago. :) Please navigate to ... (top right) -> Board settings -> Roadmap and enable it. You should see the Roadmap option on your panel. 

Note: Please enable Start date and Due date fields to your screens on your project.

@Sramanth Pandeti  Thank you so much! ;)
It will be really helpful in the future.

But in this case, we actually do not have a board for each epic or a board which agregates all epics.

I guess we need to create filters for each epic and maybe then reate a roadmap or dashboard with a chart for each epic. 

Or maybe there is another way to track epics in a project? Plugins? I think that BigGantt can help us.

@Paulina Lisik If you are using a scrum board, then the built-in Epic Report or Epic Burndown (Project -> reports) could help too. In case of plugins, I believe you can try EazyBI, https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1211508/eazybi-reports-and-charts-for-jira-cloud?hosting=cloud&tab=overview which is a great visualization tool for Jira. 

Have a look at their demo account too: https://eazybi.com/accounts/1000/dashboards/5942-project-overview :)
