Roadmaps on Classic Jira Software projects

[Esteban Diaz]

Is there a chance to use Roadmaps on Classic Jira Software projects?

[Drew Heasman]

Please vote to add the missing feature to Classic projects https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSWCLOUD-17214

[Rob Alvarez]

Not sure but I can say this....NextGen projects are great but limited to anyone outside of the hierarchy of project management. Classics are more configurable and more user-friendly to all but need the blend of NextGen (roadmaps\kanban integration). Playing around with Classic and NextGen side-by-side, I favor the allure of 80% of NextGen but must side with Classic for the sake of anyone else on the project. NextGen is good for a small team project that you are going to dictator the hell out of but in the grand scheme of things, classic is your best bet until features reach a point of usability. 

[Royd Amias]

I agree with Rob's assessment. I've personally experimented with this in the cases of simple and complex projects. I would define complex in my case to mean that the project has dependencies on multiple teams and solutions being built outside of my current team. Small projects, in my case, refer to the groupings of work that folks in my immediate team would own and reside under the same leadership structure.

In the end it's leadership and managers who benefit the most out of Jira's Roadmap functionality, but does little to help the folks who are putting in the work to build whatever the project is.

[Lynton Bell]

Agree with Rob, feel the same re roadmap feature. 'add watchers' has gone from tickets too, argh!

It seems that this year we get Roadmap for Classic projects, hopefully

[Shirish Sharma]

Great

Anyone know when roadmaps fro classic will be released? 

[Jared Chmielecki]

seems like some people have it now! I am trying to figure out when I will / if I can sign up for anything to get it myself.

They are about to roll out the roadmap for classic projects:

Any idea on release date? 

[Luke Scott]

I just got a notification and can use it on a classic project.

[Staten_ Tyler]

Anyone know if they are going to fix the limitation in the Roadmaps for Classic projects in Cloud so you can see child issues that exist in other projects? Limiting the boards ability to only show child issues in a single project makes this pretty useless. If i could see the issues that belong to the epic that exist in other project the tool would actually be helpful.

[Ana-Maria Erascu]

We now have roadmaps for classic projects! Check out how to enable them here: https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirasoftwarecloud/enable-and-disable-the-roadmap-1004952906.html

[thomas_knox]

Welp, I guess I am going to have to keep using a separate software for this. Only possible to enable for projects that do not share boards.... Why create some unnecessary limitation like this. I was so excited to see this feature, and was ready to move to JIRA fully for all my PM needs.

[Calvin Tanudjaja]

Hello, do you know if we can use the roadmap on free plan? seems like I cannot find the board settings like the one in the link. Thanks for helping

[Dmytro Bazulin]

@thomas_knox wondering what software do you use?

[Matthew Bettinson]

In case this helps anyone - unless I missed messaging from Atlassian on this one (and I watch the associated ticket pretty closely!) it appears that 'Roadmaps' for 'Classic Projects' has suddenly appeared in the Jira cloud offering today!  It's labelled up as being in 'Beta' and myself and my organisation were not part of the advertised 'Beta' program so looks like this is now in a 'public Beta' release.

Some documentation has appeared for this- https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirasoftwarecloud/create-manage-and-visualize-your-epics-on-the-roadmap-1004952901.html

I myself have followed the instructions to enable it and have been playing with it and it seems to be functioning pretty much like I'd expect after having used the 'Roadmaps' feature in a 'next-gen' project.

Enjoy!

[Jared Chmielecki]

I tried creating a new board to see if it would have it, but it appears to be flagged on and off at a higher level than that. Hoping it rolls out quickly, I need it!

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

Not yet, and I suspect never - my guess is that classic software projects will be deprecated before roadmaps go into them.

[Esteban Diaz]

hope not.... :( 

[Drew Heasman]

@Esteban Diaz - consider voting for https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSWCLOUD-17214

[Anthony Buck]

Jira classic has needed a roadmap view. Now that there finally is one, it's extremely limited and no customization. Could have made Jira classic so much more useful, but instead created a silo'd product. Now we have multiple incomplete products :(

[Dave Ingram]

Hey @Esteban Diaz coincidental to see your name here :-)

[mark.elford]

This is a couple of months away and in Beta. Standard and Premium capabilities being developed. Looking really good and very useful for planning.

See https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSWCLOUD-17214 for further info.

[Vincent Synan]

Any news here Mark? Im really interested in tying this into all my Classic projects.

Any updates would be appreciated.
