Tracking various applications under one Epic

[Lakshmi]

We have a technical migration project which requires all applications to be migrated.

What is the best approach to track the complete status of the migration project with individual application status under it?

For example -

migrationproject Name (Main Epic)

         Application1 (Child Epic1)

             story1

             story2

         Application2 (Child Epic2)

             story1

             story2

Hi @Lakshmi and welcome to the Community!

First of all, let me start by stating that there is - maybe unfortunately - not just one way to do this. That said, you cannot create child epics under main epics. Epics cannot be linked with a parent child relationship.

If your migration project is an actual Jira project, this becomes a different story. Then all the work is in a single place, you can use Epics to group the tasks for a specific application and then track things entirely like you propose. That may be the easiest way to run this specific project.

Alternatively, you could use components for your applications. When you link every task to a component (application), you can track progress on a dashboard using these components. That would be a better option of your migration project does not have its dedicated Jira project.

Hope this helps!
