Sub Project Definition

There isn’t a way to have sub-projects as such in Jira but there are various ways to enhance default Jira behaviour to achieve this. One is to create a custom field.

Custom field “Sub Project”

A new field “Sub Project” has been introduced where the field value is assigned to the sub project to which the issue belongs, eg. “Order Pick Pack”.

Kanban board

The current Kanban board will remain with an amended filter containing “ and subproject=’'“.

Order Pick Pack scrum board

A new “Order Pick Pack” scrum board exists with a filter filter containing

“ Project = ‘WMS’ and subproject = 'Order Pick Pack'”.

A bulk update has been done on the issues with labels matching the “Order Pick” and “Order Pack” to change the subproject field to “Order Pick Pack”. The backlog for the scrum board now contains only those issues. Any future tickets for this project need to have Sub Project set to “Order Pick Pack”. It is a drop-down field. (NB. A possible concern is that this “Sub Project” value is available to all projects, but that will not have an impact unless the value is shown and exists in other projects and is incorrectly filled in.)

Remaining Tasks

@James Seabrook Epics to be created reflecting the tickets existing for the project. The epics will be used to create aspirational roadmap timelines of the project and will be available on Seko Pipelines board. The actual progress will be updated as the sprints close.
