Jira Advanced Roadmaps Tutorial For Beginners | Crash Course 

Just watched it and already recommended to everyone in my company. We have JAR and nobody really knows how to use it. Thank you so much for such a nice clear explanation. I literally said WOW out loud few times!

This has been extremely helpful. I look like a rock star with just this course!

Hi Alex! In one of your Advanced Roadmap video's, I thought you mentioned possibly doing a comparison of BigPicture and Advanced Roadmaps. Is that video out there somewhere? I searched, but could not find it. I'm looking for a high level overview / visualization of the main differences between the 2 Jira Add-Ons. :) Thank you for your video's - they are so easy to follow and learn from! Much appreciated!!!!!

Thanks for posting this. I'm only 13 minutes in but I wanted to mention that I appreciate i) your comment that orgs with both waterfall / agile methodologies will appreciate ARs, ii) presentation of Roadmaps (now Timeline?) before going to Advanced. As for audio, I have to set my headset and computer to max volume to hear you well enough.

Would love to see advanced advanced roadmap stream as well to go beyond the basics. Thanks for the content!

This is really great! I was able to pull some excellent nuggets out for our team and how we use Jira. I do have an odd question - we use Jira for more traditional PMing (no story points); the idea is to use Plan to share the project progress with our Clients so we're not doing rework by creating a project timeline elsewhere....is there a way to exclude any task with or without a specific component? We don't want to show the Client's everything, but specific issues and their progress. Or is there potentially another method of categorizing and singling out Issues within Plan to display?

Hi Alex! Great tutorial, thanks! But if there is a feature like "base plan" (which MS Project has)? I mean, how I can track if we are on plan or not? For example a story is not blocked by something, but the initial estimate was wrong. And we have to spend more time to do the job. Can we somehow display it?

thanks Alex...! New Program Manager on the go, starting to implement advanced roadmaps into my daily work and this is the best how to video so far... will keep looking around your channel...

Great video Alex thank you so much for all of your effort on these videos! Is it not possible to have the sprints show up in the right time window that allows you to set the start and end date of the sprints and then reflect that in the time area or is the time area only driven by start date and due date?

I watched this video for full hour. It's great and very informative. One question - Can we create Dashboard for the Roadmapping View?

Hey Alex , your videos are very informative . Thank you One questions does jira also have functionality of timesheets & capacity planning I know there are Two apps supported by jira that does the job Timesheets by tempo Capacity planning by tempo Is it possible in jira to have such features or apps are required ?

Damn!! when you said you never figured out auto scheduling my hope crashed to the floor a little. Love your videos, they are really helpful.

Hi Alex, been watching your videos and it has been so helpful, this video is just what I needed right now! thanks so much!

Great one. You are a buddy that every company needs….would be beatiful to see you at the unfix community to see how the value streams would look like in jira…..

Awesome. Although, I can't create dependencies with lines like you do. It asks me to add the issue manually in a text box. Is it perhaps my version of Jira?

Jira basic is good stuff. Advanced roadmap is great stuff. Great video Alex.

I am so glad I bumped into this video. Great stuff. Thanks

Your videos and channel are awesome! Thank you. I am helping my team navigate a premium trial and this is a huge help. Because Atlassian's documentation is alright but stepping through the process and warning of the pinch points is 10x a better way to guide someone.

Hey great video! I was looking forninfo regarding to jira roadmaps! Want to start using those!

Very helpful - going to share this with my team. Thanks!

Advanced Roadmaps noob here, thanks for the Intro! :)

Good tutorial thanks! One question, if I hit review changes and publish everything, then the watchers, assignees etc will got many notifications on issues updates or not? I am just afraid to spam people after publishing :)

How can you change the Epic ranking shown in the plan?

Hi Alex, awesome videos! You are becoming my go to guy. Thank you for some excellent tutorials

Hi Alex, thanks for sharing this tutorials. This is really useful for beginners. Que how do I add back epics that is being removed from AR? I tried to remove the project from the plans and added back in but its not reflecting in AR

Hi, thanks for the video. You said that dependencies/blocks wont push dates away. Still, will end dates from initiatives be automatically calculated based what's below them? Is there a way to configure that? thanks!

Hi Alex, thanks for the informative video. Do you have a video on timelines in JIRA? I have hit an issue where I am trying to use timeline but can only use it for epics and issues under epic. Is it possible to use timeline to show tickets (bugs/stories) that are not in any epic but are tied for a specific release/fixversion. Appreciate your help. Thanks

Thank your your video. Really valuable for me 🔥🔥🔥

You mentioned that story points only work in scrum. Whats the solution for visualizing any given tasks value and points toward completion on a Kanban board without making a separate scrum board? What we have currently is that there can be half the tasks in an epic completed yet 80% of the work is completed and we have no way to visualize the value of what was completed.

Thank yoU!!! Do you know why my preview may not appear when i click in the plan view?

Hi Alex, is there a way to create a plan across multiple atlassian URLs as I have a group of companies and would be good to see them in one place?

Is there a way to add this to the dashboard so that it becomes part of sprint reviews or something like that? Just so we can review to see what the upcoming milestones are and how we are doing in relation to them.

How do I filter based on resolved date in jira plans. please suggest. Also let me know how to export based from jira plans

Awesome. Thanks. This was really helpful!

Great feature that is now included in the Data Center version of Jira

How do you generate those Progress fields? Its not out of the box Jira in Custom Fields. Other than that, your video is very good.

If "initiative" level was created for one project but doesn't exist in another - can I still use it in advanced roadmap for those other projects?

Hi Alex, do you recommend using parent link for generating hierarchies in Jira in general? Currently we linked our epics to another issuetype. We have some project management in which we try to generate a hierarchy - currently on Jira Server. We will switch in the next few months, thats why I am asking.

Hi Alex, So since a ticket is created in the backlog for the initiative, does this mean that it stays there till the all stories are complete before whole initiative is marked as done? Even if it takes 4 (2week sprints). I'm asking as carry over happens and this means an initiative would stay in backlog for a very log time, How does one handle that? Epics appears on the roadmap and is linked to the ticket, why would Initiatives not act in the same way if it's higher than Epics? and if it does do you have a video on it I can watch?

Help! From the advanced roadmap I can create epics and issues and assign them to projects, but it doesn't actually create the ticket?! How do I get it to actually link to the issue? / create the issue?

How do I make the plan public? so that I can share link and respective individual can view it.

Do you think the issue with the task blocked/Jira pushing dates (52:20) would be addressed as part of what the auto-scheduling functionality?

I really wish you would have spent more time on Views. Im still trying to wrap my head around the differences between the various out of box views.

Hi - Mitch here from Denver.

Question I'm having an issue when I try to create a initiative within my platfom plan. I'm receiving an error message "something went wrong"

Verrrrrrry important question here.. I see you're using the Shure SM7B, but the audio on the video sounds like you're just recording through the laptop mic. What gives?

Is the Initiative Issue Type out of the box or does that need to be added custom? I do not see it or Risk in my Jira only the standard Issue Types you mentioned around 3:40

When creating an issue under an Epic in Advanced Roadmaps, when I click create story, it defaults the issue being created as a bug. I can change it to story, but the next time I refresh the plan, it will revert back to bug as the default one. Do you know if there is a way to update the default one selected here? I have tried editing the order of the issues in the project's issue type scheme which has not worked.

Thanks for the video...

hi great job. love from India

Noticing that when trying to add boards/projects to the Plan. It only allows us to add if they are "Company projects" vs "team-managed". (were created using the Jira templates) is there a way to get both types added into your Plan? or do you need to convert the Team managed one (team one is a Kanban, company projects are Scrum. If you do need to convert, does it impact the "team managed/kanban board in any way?

The dependency lines are only available in Jira Cloud. Not avaliable in Jira Server unfortunately. Very disappointing

Thanks! great video!

Great video, thank you!

Thank you so much for this!

Thank For This

hi, is it possible to see the linked issues from different projects in the basic view of the plan? for example if a ticket test1-1 and i have linked tikcet test2-1 , can i see it in the basic view of the plan like its a child issue?

I’m using jira (data center) application with version 9.1.1 , is it possible to have roadmap in this version?

Thanks!

I didn't find the Plans tab in Jira what can I do is it in premium account?

Volume is extremely low.
