      Use the small tick next to the column name that has the hierarchy indicator. Basically the same one you use to expand/collapse on the issue level, but it's also next to one of the column names (the one that is marker as a root column in the column views configuration)

      Jira has many best practices. One of them is: stay away from Team-Managed projects ;) Because they are limited when it comes to functionalities, for one. They are the source of a mess on bigger instances (starts about 50-100 users). Migrate to a Company-Managed project, this is better for the long run.

    Shouldn't it be called "Parent Box" rather than "Sub-Box"?

    • @geniusgecko-project-management
      @geniusgecko-project-management Місяць тому

      An interesting question. I can see how this also makes sense, but I didn't think about it earlier, which means that for me probably sub-box is more intuitive. It's because I imagine that this will be used to see which sub-boxes of the current box in context the issues belong to. When I think about it like this, it will never be a parent box. I'm not sure if there's a literal that covers both approaches. Maybe simply "Box" :)

    @angstrom1058 4 місяці тому

    Let's say you have many projects going at once and you are resource constrained, how can you see which tasks across all projects that a resource should be working on today? Behind this thinking, each project has its importance, sequence and interdependencies, all of which reflects upon the importance of tasks, their order and priority.

    • @geniusgecko-project-management
      @geniusgecko-project-management 4 місяці тому

      It's quite easy to find the tasks that individual should be working on at a given time, but to pick the one of the most importance, taking into account what you wrote, is not something that the tool will help you with. It can not interpret how important the dependency is, for example.

    • @angstrom1058
      @angstrom1058 4 місяці тому

      @@geniusgecko-project-management Thanks. I also use the Foxly prioritization add-in and I can go through all my tasks in each project and prioritize them, then use JQL to see a list across projects sorted by priority score, although that does not include project importance nor the sequence. If the task is not yet to be done due to incomplete prior tasks that it depends on, or in other words, the highest priority task across all projects that do not have dependencies on tasks that are not done yet. This list in Jira is mapped into Sunsama for daily/weekly work planning and eventually into a paper Franklin-Covey planner for tactical execution spanning work, personal, etc. LOL :)

    For the challenge of not being able to save a "snapshot" of a BP box project plan in time, why not just use What If Scenario? You can create a new scenario, save it as a certain date and as long as changes aren't made in the scenario, it will hold. BP standard only allows 1 public scenario per box and I believe 1 additional private scenario per user per box. BP Enterprise may be unlimited scenarios.

    • @dasissntest
      @dasissntest 8 місяців тому

      Yes, exactly this answer we got last year directly from BigPicture vendor support (I'm using BP enterprise with unlimited scenarios) :) I think it is really that MSProject-centric working mode that has become so dominant over the years which makes it hard for users to take one step back and think what is really convenient for a scheduling tool. Also, this is very much top-down classic waterfall planning. Though, I agree with missing features for saving a certain state of the plan within the tool which is very much important to compare to the last agreement (e.g. with customer). One nice feature would be to have a "ghost" overlay that can be visualized, showing a previous baseline. Also preserving a certain state of the box structure (WBS!) is a feature I heavily miss.

    • @tompabich

    PS: Recommend Johann Rothman’s latest book called Project Lifecycles of her risk-based requirements model for defining 4 lifecycles (project approaches). Interesting and may provide more insights on how to ‘setup/use’ Jira for each.

    Thanks Tomasz - excellent insights and discussion. Specifically the points on which delivery (project) approach Jira is specifically designed for. I have huge challenges trying to model it for different approaches for different departments. What I find most challenging is helping departments represent the right ‘work items’ to issue types, based on the various approaches. E.g. for waterfall (serial) lifecycles, the Jira issues are a representation of a WBS and tasks. For teams managing external-facing Products (SoW/Value Stream), they need to represent their work-items in value or outcome-based terms, aligned to agile. Can you please share your views and experience of this, and how to you approach this? Thanks

      Connecting those 2 worlds is always a challenge. We usually do it with the help of some Jira Apps, like BigPicture. The most basic question here is: "what can be used as a universal measurement of progress?". If your company can answer this, then you can start cracking. It varies between different organizations we're working with. Some use hours spent, some use closed tickets, some use a more elaborate progress defined by a custom algorythm. All in all it's like in mathematics. You need to compile everything to the same denominator. We do this as part of our services. If you'd like to explore this further, let me know, we will set up a call and talk about how we can be of service.

    I do not have the 'BigPicture' icon on the left. Is there a workaround?

    Can I track the project based on estimated hours or story points for issues that are done? Like, if the project has 1000 hours and issues are done with where the estimate together is 200 hours it shows 200%?

      @@tompabich Of course. I estimate projects in hours and the project is charged based on hours. I want to see progress for each project. I can't correctly see progress by just done task count, because each task has its own time or story points. In the project, one task has to be done in 10 hours and another task in 1 hour, they are not the same weight. So like project has 10 hours and 3 tasks. one task is 2 hr second 3 hr and third 5hr If I finish the third task and move to do it is 50% of the project no like 33%.

      This sounds like a typical progress tracking based on hourly estimates (or story points). It's easilly doable in BigPicture with proper column views and aggregation.

    Hello, first of all I want to tell you that I like your tutorials. They are really good! About resource management I have a question: is it possible to have more than one person on an issue? For example, a developer would pass an issue to another developer after editing (programming) it to make a code review. After that the issue would need to be tested by another person. So for resource planning, it would be important to be able to schedule all the people involved in an issue. Is this possible in Big Pictrue?

    • @tompabich
      @tompabich 9 місяців тому

      Yes, it is possible, depending on the end goal there are several options available. The simplest one is to reassign the issue to other people at certain moments in its lifecycle. If you'd like to explore more, let us know and we'll meet online to discuss how Genius Gecko can be of assistance:) Thanks for supporting the channel!
