Roadmaps in Jira Software server

[Amna Test]

Hello,

We have installed JIRA Software, and I was not able to see Roadmap in the project option or features, I read about I have to be in mange team, but I'm not able to figure that out either 

Thanks

Hi @Amna Test and welcome to community!

Roadmaps are actually not available in Jira Software Server anymore. You can use:

• Basic roadmaps in Jira Software Cloud Standard
• Advanced roadmaps in Jira Software Cloud Premium or Jira Software Data Center

Best,

Thank you for the reply

noted, but how can I use timelines in my projects ?

your help is greatly appreciated

It is not a standard Jira Server feature, you can use an app like BigGantt or Structure to get a timeline view - it's not free though!

Hi @Amna Test 

Taking a look at your listed requirements, BigPicture - Project Management & PPM  really seems like a good match. So let me add just a few words about the plugin. It’s a comprehensive tool that supports project management in every phase, helps to plan, manage and track the projects. With it's:

- Gantt module - you can easily synchronize your Jira tasks and plan them according to your needs, visualize your task WBS, measure the progress on each of the tasks and create task dependencies

- Resource module - to allow you smooth task allocation among your resources, track the progress/workload of your individual team members, but also teams as a whole. Data is color-coded what helps in the quick identification of both overallocation and under- allocation.

-Board module - a powerful tool that allows you to visualize and plan your work across your teams, in a given PI/Iteration period, as well as show the dependencies between tasks assigned to your teams. The Board Module also incorporates a timeline that shows important events or milestones. Plus, you can customize the task card by using the task template creator.

-Roadmap module - to allow you to plan your objectives across your iteration's/program increments

- Reports module - to generate a live-reports for each of your Boxes, and also customize it according to your needs

That's the BigPicture main functionalities in a nutshell. 

Let me know if any questions come up! I will gladly answer them.
