Looking for a Plugin to Help with Jira Epic Prioritization
Asked by JA:

Hi All,

Our leadership team needs a way to prioritize Epics. Currently we're using Plans for this, but since Epics are pulled into multiple different plans, we're running into an issue where the rank changes in one plan and that affects the plan leadership is using. We found a plugin (Foxly: Requirements Backlog Prioritization) that would work great, but it's only available in Cloud.

Does anyone have any recommendations on plugins we could use for Data Center? We basically need a way to have a plan or something where Epics can be prioritized and not have them move at all once set.

Thanks!

Justine

my team and I work on an app that you might like: [JXL for Jira](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1224710?hosting=datacenter&tab=overview&utm_source=atlassian-community&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=2405382).

JXL is a full-fledged spreadsheet/table view for your issues that allows viewing, inline-editing, sorting, and filtering by all your issue fields, much like you'd do in e.g. Excel or Google Sheets. It also comes with a number of advanced features - including support for (configurable) *issue hierarchies* , *issue grouping* by any issue field(s), *sum-ups* , or *conditional formatting* - and plays nicely with Jira Automation and many other scripting solutions. With this, you can easily model various prioritisation models, like for example [RICE](https://blog.logrocket.com/product-management/rice-framework-prioritization-made-simple/):

![rice-prioritisation.gif](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/266401i73B4ABED3845AB88/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "rice-prioritisation.gif")

What you are seeing here is 4 custom fields (Reach, Impact, Confidence, Effort) that can be inline-edited via JXL, and a 5th custom field "RICE score" that is calculated via Jira Automation as *Reach \* Impact \* Confidence) / Effort*. You can model other prioritisation techniques similarly.

Any questions just let me know,

Best,

Hannes

I'm Attila from Eveti Kft., developers of Epic Roadmap for Jira DC. Our app creates a roadmap for each of your Agile Boards after the installation, and you can manage the order/schedule of the Epics differently on each roadmap. This way, you can easily create a roadmap for your teams, and for your leadership.

If you are insterested, feel free to [apply a demo here](https://meetings.hubspot.com/daniel-ballabas/demo-organization-round-robin).

Searching for one closest to what you are looking for but a good majority are in the Cloud.

This add-on may help with visualization in one place. However, it doesn't server the purpose of your exact needs:

[https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1220785/epic-roadmap-for-jira-software?hosting=datacenter\&tab=overview](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1220785/epic-roadmap-for-jira-software?hosting=datacenter&tab=overview)

Here's another one that came along with the search for the Foxly add-on you mentioned:

[https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1222309/agile-user-story-maps-roadmaps-persona-for-jira?hosting=cloud\&tab=overview](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1222309/agile-user-story-maps-roadmaps-persona-for-jira?hosting=cloud&tab=overview)

Both add-ons above should work for data Center.

Hope this helps
