Is there a clone functionality in Jira Align?
Asked by sachin gangam:

Hello,  

I would like to know if there is a clone functionality in Jira Align just like the one we have in jira. I was able to copy an epic but it didn't bring all the field data, I had to manually change the field values. It would also be nice to have a link that says 'is Cloned by'.  

Thanks,  
Sachin.


Answers:
author: Rich Sparks
body: There is not currently a Clone function in Jira Align. You can copy it, as you have done, or you can split it.

If you split an Epic, it will create a "Part 1" and a "Part 2". All the completed stories will stay with Part 1, and the incomplete stories will go with Part 2. And there will be an indicator in Jira Align saying there is a Part 1 and Part 2.


author: Eduardo Godinez
body: **Short answer is No**.

You can copy epics and stories, but will have to do it one by one and edit **ALL** of the fields afterwards.

The only useful purpose of this Copy button is if you only need to edit description and acceptance criteria, otherwise you're editing all of the fields.

I would rather create a new one if I have to edit all of the fields.

body: Hello [@Rich Sparks](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3113667) ,  

I am the JA Admin and was trying to edit the fields available in the Clone/Copy screen of Initiative. By any chance can I edit this?  

Thank you in advance.

Jira Align Feature metrics
Asked by LAXMI ABHINAV REDDY ARAE:

Hello,

we have a longstanding struggle in finding some meaningful high level metrics around feature flow ... metrics that would help us that review the flow of work and figure out why we have such a high number of features per PI. Kindly suggest!

Thank you.


Answers:
author: Sam Tsubota
body: [@LAXMI ABHINAV REDDY ARAE](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1696538) It sounds like your programs are committing to more features in a PI than they have capacity for. The [Feature Backlog Column View](https://help.jiraalign.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000154693) is a way programs can load PIs based on the capacity (in points) of the program. Capacity is calculated based on the program's last two PIs or you can manually enter that value. This does require that features be estimated. If you Jira Align instance is configured to estimate features by Team Weeks, Member Weeks or T-shirt sizes, you will need to configure the estimate conversion in the Platform settings to convert the estimates to points. The view has a load bar that shows how much the PI is loaded vs. program capacity. The [Feature Backlog Process Step View](https://help.jiraalign.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000154693) provides visibility of the work in progress (WIP) in a PI for a program. The view requires setting up a process flow for a program which enables program teams to manage the flow of your features. In addition, this can be used in conjunction with the [Process Step Cycle Time](https://help.jiraalign.com/hc/en-us/articles/115001314774-10X-Process-Step-Cycle-Time) report to see how long it take value to flow through the program. If you are looking for the flow metric referenced in the book [Project to Product](https://projecttoproduct.org/), there are two Atlassian Community articles on how you can derive this from Jira Align. One article, [Measuring the Flow of Value Using Flow Metrics](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-Align-articles/Measuring-the-Flow-of-Value-Using-Flow-Metrics/ba-p/1490534), describes how you can manually derive the data from Jira Align views and reports and the other article, [How Jira Align Supports Flow Metrics](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-Align-articles/How-Jira-Align-Supports-Flow-Metrics/ba-p/1822789), shows how it can be represented in Tableau from Jira Align Enterprise Insights.

Tracking Epic Point Totals Across Program Increments (SAFe)?
Asked by Tim Wernicke:

Hi there, we are trying to find a way to use an Epic that may span across multiple Program Increments (a quarter of work). Ideally we would like to see what points were completed in Increment 1 and what's left in Increment 2.

Once we get this working it would need to be applied on a large scale.


Answers:
author: Allan Maxwell
body: Maybe try the WorkTree in "Topdown from Epic" mode? You can filter down to a single Epic and it will show the progress of all Features, Stories and Tasks in a dashboard. You can also drill into the Features to see what might be holding them back from being Accepted.

comments: author: sachin gangam
body: Thank you [@Peter Jessen](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3033143) . I went through that post before posting this here. It was really helpful. However, I have few questions: in my case, both programs follow same PI cadence and both the sprints on these team level projects are active (sprint end date is dec7). If I just remap the project/boards will I still lose any historical data?


author: Peter Jessen
body: Hi [@sachin gangam](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4194110) ,

If both programs are using the same PI objects (not just cadence) then if you remap the projects and boards to the new program then all of the historical data will move to the new program effectively creating ghost metrics in the past, as I explained in the post referenced above.

Moving teams during an active sprint is not recommended for a whole lot of reasons. I've always coached to move teams (hopefully a very rare event) at PI boundaries (best option) or sprint boundaries (second-best option).

Without knowing all of the specifics of your Align configuration I can't give you more specific answers than I already have.

Regards,  
Peter


author: sachin gangam
body: Thanks [@Peter Jessen](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3033143) . Do I need to regenerate the sprints in Jira Align for these teams, since I will move them to program B? or that is not needed, since sprints were generated previously in program A?

Need to use Solution layer for a portfolio only. How to enable it for that portfolio only?
Asked by Vinay Sharma:

We need to use Solution layer for a portfolio only. How to enable it for that portfolio only and disable it for other portfolios?

Pls. suggest the correct configurations to be done under Administration\>Settings\>Platform\>Solution.

For a Program which does not have Solution level, should have Epic as a ![Screenshot.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/171262iAA86AF675ECFB966/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screenshot.png")parent work item not Capability.

Pls. suggest


Answers:
author: Rich Sparks
body: There may be two parts to your question.

1. The first is about using the Solution layer in your **Team** structure. (Portfolio-Solution-Program-Team)
2. The second is about using the Capability in your **Work** structure. (Epic-Capability-Feature-Story)

You can have the Solution level in your Team structure without requirement the Capability in your Work structure.

++**To create a Solution within a specific Portfolio:**++

Go to Administration

Go to Programs; Click "Add Program"

In the Program Detail Panel, select the Portfolio you want to add the Solution to.

In the Solution dropdown, pick Yes

That will create the Solution. Then when you add new Programs to that Portfolio, you can specify they belong to that Solution.![Screen Shot 2021-11-29 at 12.14.46 PM.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/171266iB2D18836B70A2D21/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screen Shot 2021-11-29 at 12.14.46 PM.png")

If you want to use Capabilities, you can turn that on for specific Portfolios. Then only those Portfolios will have that extra work layer. And, as you mention in your question, any Features in that Portfolio will have to have a Capability as a parent object, and that Capability will have an Epic as its parent.

++**To turn on Capabilities for a Portfolio**++

Go to Administration

Go to Platform

Pick "Portfolio Specific Configuration"

Pick the Portfolio you want to use Capabilities

In the "Enable Capabilities" dropdown, select Yes

Late Milestone Not Turning RED
Asked by Mike Lemmon:

Hi there .. thanks again to the Atlassian Community for the great support .. much appreciated.

I have a question regarding the Milestones being displayed on my Roadmap.

For some reason the late ones are not turning RED.

The weird part is if I use the Share option and add it to a Confluence Page it displays .. correctly.

Any idea of why the late milestones are not appearing RED when viewed directly in the Advanced Roadmap?

Advanced Roadmaps requires non-team project?
Asked by subtletechnology:

Can someone explain, are we supposed to recreate the project or can we upgrade it? Why does it exclude team-based projects?

We wanted to use Advanced Roadmaps with our existing project. Is there some other way

Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: You'll need to create a new Company-managed project and move the issues into it.

Advanced Roadmaps was originally written for Server, before team-managed projects existed. TMPs are very different in shape to CMPs, and AR simply can't yet work with them - TMPs don't share fields for example, and that means AR can't work with them.

comments: author: subtletechnology
body: OK thank you, are there other limitations to Team-managed projects? Like a smaller number of Addons/Plugins/Apps and things like that?


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Yes, quite a lot. The general limitation at the moment is that they are self-contained, and intended for a single team. They are not built to do any cross-team working, beyond that you can issue-link to other projects.

Team vs assignee
Asked by Sofya:

Hello

We would like to use the Advanced Roadmaps in our organization. The problem is using Team -- we are assigning issues to person.

We are considering the following solution -- create team per person and create automation that copying value from assignee filed to the Team field.

I tried to create this automation and it doesn't work. May be the problem is the different field type?

Anyway -- may be someone can help me with automation or have another idea how to use it?

We in data center configuration

Thanks in advanced!

body: [@Sofya](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4625727) -

Team field in AR for Jira is unique field type and should not be used as issue assignee. Furthermore, Team should contains members of the team (i.e. issue assignee from your project) and not meant for having one assignee per team setup.

However, you can expose the field to your project's issue view screen. If you want the ability to edit this field within the Jira issue screen (EDIT screen etc.) outside of your plan, then you will have to ensure the Team setup in your AR for Jira plan is set as "Shared Team" and cannot be private only to your plan.

Hope this helps.

comments: author: Sofya
body: Thank you very much Joseph!

I understand the methodology of working with team, but in our organisation we set estimation per assignee... so as solution we decided to create team per assignee.

I've tried to create automation that can set Team from the assignee field then it edited... but the assignee field is not in the list of options... probably it's not possible... maybe the type of assignee field does not much...

Is a type of field can be a problem?

thank in advance!

Sofya


author: Joseph Chung Yin
body: [@Sofya](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4661349) -

Team field (one used by AR for Jira) and Assignee field used by Jira Software/JSM are different data type and unique to itself. Assignee field is user picker and Team is not.

This is why you will have issue with automation rule setup. Even you setup the rule such as if assignee = a specific user, then set the Team to a specific value. It will not be scalable because you have to hardcode the different assignee to different team combinations + very difficult to manage it.

How can I see the epic hierarchy with all the tasks from different projects on my roadmap?
Asked by Mister Twister:

I can\`t find the way to see my Epics with its sub-tasks on my Roadmap. Epics are in 2 different projects. Also epics includes tasks from 4 different Jira projects.  
Is it possible to see full hierarchy Epic to story if the stories are in different projects?  

Steps:  
1. Make filter "project in (A, B, C. ..)  
2. Make a Board using the filter. Share all the projects in my Filter Query.  
3. Make my Roadmap. Issue sources is my board. Filter on Roadmap by project (2 from all)  
4. Looks good but I am trying to group by project to put in order.  
Problem: Now under each epic I see the only tasks with set projects in filter.  
Is there some way to avoid it?


Answers:
author: Dave Mathijs
body: HI [@Mister Twister](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4923524) welcome to the Atlassian Community.

Are you on Server/Data Center or on Cloud?

Are you using a Kanban or a Scrum board? If you have a Kanban board, have you defined a sub-filter?

If you group by project, it will only display the tasks from that project, that would seem normal.

Can you share a screenshot and tell us which task you would like to see under which epic?

body: Hi [@Dave Mathijs](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2662590)   
It\` s Kanban, sub-filter "fixVersion in unreleasedVersions() OR fixVersion is EMPTY"

I want to see epics from 2 project on roadmap and its tasks from 4 another projects. Now looks like it work but I can\`t see all task under epic. Some of it did not show. For example, Regpark-213 doesn\`t have tasks at all. No filters for status is activated.

How to make the sprint start on mondays?
Asked by Konstantin Sch?tte:

![image.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/196538i8A19149F932F8F37/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "image.png")

I'm new to Jira and Advanced Roadmaps.

By default the start of a sprint is thursdays. Is there any way to set that to mondays? My working days are default from monday to friday.


Answers:
author: Andy Rusnak
body: Hi Konstantin,

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Advanced Roadmaps will leverage the Start Date configured within the Project of the first /active sprint. Then it will automatically configure future Projected sprints based on that.

So for example, if you configured a sprint's Start Date to begin on May 16th 2022 (which is a Monday) and the sprint was set to last for 2 weeks, the next Projected sprint would start on May 30th, 2022.

If you do not specify a start date explicitly on the sprint within your project, Advanced Roadmaps will default the start date to the next day and then align all future Projected sprints based on that.

Based on the screenshot you sent, it doesn't look like you have any sprints configured within the Project showing on this Roadmap right now. But if you were to configure a sprint within the Project and set an explicit start date to a Monday and add it to the Roadmap, then future Projected sprints after that one should leverage that sprints end date to align their start dates accordingly.

It is **strongly** **recommended** to try any changes like this in a non production (or non-critical) Roadmap first to ensure that the changes made will not have any adverse impact on your current planning. Then once you have confirmed the changes have the desired impact migrate into production Roadmaps.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions related to this and I would be happy to discuss further.

Best,

Andy
