Advanced roadmap and roll-up and sprint

[Fabrice LOUVEAU]

Hi all,

We use Advanced roadmap and configure hierarchy as follow:

Initiative > Feature > Tasks > sub-tasks

The advanced roadmap benefit for us is to see the roll up estimate in the upper issue. The feature is the sum of the feature estimate and tasks estimate. And it's very useful.

We have in our Project a board to follow Features and another one for tasks. To plan these 2 boards, we create 2 view (capacity planning). One with features, one with tasks.

Each board correspond to a dedicated team.

Our problem is that in feature planning view, only estimates for features are taken into account but not the rolled-up values.

Example:

My feature is about 5 days (documentation)

All tasks takes 25 days (dev activities)

So the feature in fact takes 30 days

We try to use only one board and one team with multi-scrum approach without any good results.

Is there any chance to achieve what we expect with specific configuration ?

Hi @Fabrice LOUVEAU welcome to the community!

Not sure whether you have this resolved or not. If not, perhaps you can try the followings: 

1) Check your issue sources in Advanced Roadmaps. I guess your current issue sources are Projects. Maybe you can try to add issues using (two different) boards?

2) Set up issue hierarchies. If all issues (from your features and tasks) are imported into Advanced Roadmaps, then you need to re-configure your hierarchies. I would set up something like this: Initiatives > Epics (Epic 1 for features and Epic 2 for tasks, etc.) > Stories/Tasks > Sub-tasks. After that, you should be able to see rolled-up values/dates in Initiatives. 

I hope the above helps!
