Recommendations for Organizing and Exporting SRS Documentation in Jira Cloud

[Victoras Evgeniou]

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for a solution to efficiently manage and export our Software Requirements Specification (SRS) documentation using Jira Cloud.

Our Setup:

• We have a Jira Cloud project where we create issues representing different sections of our SRS document (e.g., Overview, Introduction, Functional Requirements, etc.).
• We link these issues to corresponding Confluence pages for additional details.

The Challenge: Our goal is twofold:

1. Organize and Visualize the SRS Hierarchy: We need a tool that enables us to create a structured hierarchy with sections, headings, and a drag-and-drop interface to easily manage and visualize the document structure.
2. Export the Documentation: Once organized, we would like to export the complete SRS documentation into PDF or Word formats for sharing and review.

What We’ve Tried:

• We initially explored using the Structure plugin combined with the Better PDF Exporter.
• However, we learned from Midori support that the PDF export tool is not supported on Jira Cloud.
• Other options we’ve attempted have not fully met our needs.

My Question: Could anyone recommend a tool or approach for Jira Cloud that:

• Allows for intuitive, drag-and-drop organization of issues into a hierarchical structure (similar to creating sections in a document).
• Supports exporting the fully structured documentation into PDF or Word formats.

Any suggestions, workarounds, or experiences with similar setups would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Hope below tools will helpful as per your requirement:

1. Advanced Roadmaps:

   • This tool helps you create custom hierarchies and organize tasks in a structured way

These are great recommendations! Advanced Roadmaps helps with hierarchy and organization, while Xporter and PDF/Word Exporter handle structured exports. If you’re using Confluence, it can also streamline documentation and export needs. Combining these tools should give you the flexibility to manage and export your SRS documentation efficiently!

Thank you Sanam! 

I found a solution by working with the Xporter tool.
