Explore the advanced roadmaps interface in Jira, managing a plan with three panels—scope, fields, and timeline—using plan configuration, filtering options, and configurable views, plus bulk actions.

Learn to configure plan view settings in advanced roadmaps: color by status, sort by rank, group by release or team, visualize dependencies, and roll up estimates for epics and stories.

Navigate the advanced road maps interface to review changes, commit updates back to Jira, track orange triangles signaling out-of-sync values, and monitor warnings while sharing or embedding the plan.

Explore plan configuration settings in advanced roadmaps, including scheduling, date fields, sprint versus release dates, dependencies, and scenario comparisons to assess plan outcomes.

Learn how Atlassian's Jira advanced roadmaps UI changes affect filtering, view options, and timeline placement, with team's releases and dependency report pages now accessible via the left-side views dropdown.

Learn manual planning in advanced roadmaps for Jira by editing sprints, adjusting velocity and story points, and committing changes back to Jira while tracking rankings and capacity.

Learn to manually schedule issues in advanced roadmaps for Jira: set explicit dates, override sprint assignments, allocate story points, and manage dependencies and lead times with warnings.

Explore auto scheduling in advanced roadmaps for Jira, learning how to auto assign issues by team capacity, velocity, and dependencies, and preview results before acceptance.

See how auto scheduling in advanced roadmaps balances sprint capacity with estimates and ranking, and handles versions, release dates, and sequential or concurrent dependencies.

Set up and import project data in Jira advanced roadmaps by creating the sell your stuff project, configuring scrum and kanban workflows, and importing issues from a CSV file.

Create releases and sprints in Jira using versions and sprint placeholders, assign issues to releases, and outline backend API work with the Sell Your Stuff project for advanced roadmaps.

Explore how initiatives in advanced roadmaps group epics from multiple Jira projects into higher-level work items that span teams and timelines.

Create an initiative project, add an initiative issue type to the issue type scheme, and map it in Advanced Roadmaps as a hierarchy level above epics for your project plan.

Create a Jira roadmaps plan with two boards for client and backend teams, include the initiative project, set two-week iterations, switch to story points, and sync changes to Jira.

Build a Jira plan in Advanced Roadmaps, group issues by story and initiative, auto schedule by team, and visualize MVP with UX improvements on the timeline.

Learn how the advanced roadmaps scheduler reacts to ranking and estimate changes, using scenarios to compare initial and updated plans and optimize sprint capacity.

Adjust velocity and sprint length in advanced roadmaps to see how capacity and story points shift the plan and release dates, including projected realism.

Explore how the scheduler handles unestimated work by using release dates and explicit assignments, and how removing dates enables auto scheduling to remap estimates to new timelines.

Learn how explicit sprint assignments affect scheduling in advanced roadmaps for Jira; use auto schedule with empty values, remove explicit assignments to refresh plans, and prevent overbooking.

Explore cross-project dependencies in advanced roadmaps, compare the new and old Jira interfaces, and apply the dependency scheduling setting to rank required work above dependents (with a manual workaround).

Map cross-project dependencies in advanced roadmaps for Jira to align backend API work with frontend features like login and account creation; use auto schedule to manage blockers and sprint timing.

Explore the dependencies report to visualize plan dependencies with tiles and arrow links, plus red warnings. Learn to zoom, pan, filter by epic or team, and identify blockers across issues.

Learn how to manage releases in advanced roadmaps for Jira by adjusting release and start dates, using auto schedule, and aligning sprint capacity across cross-project releases.

Share teams across multiple advanced roadmaps plans by using the share option, then assign issues to the shared client or back end teams and display the team field on issues.

Commit changes from the Advanced Roadmaps plan to Jira and auto schedule issues into sprints. Track progress with story points, and manage dependencies, epics, and future work.

Resolve sprint misalignment in advanced roadmaps by aligning sprint dates, using auto schedule, and managing backlog, feature stories, and estimates to monitor progress and plan future work.

Explore preconfigured views in Advanced Roadmaps for Jira, including basic, top level planning, dependency management, and screen capacity management views, with save, save as, and default options.
