Create a scenario in your plan

This page refers to the advanced planning features that are only available as part of Jira Software Cloud Premium and Enterprise.

We have a separate section for documentation about the project timeline that’s included in all Jira Software projects. Go to the documentation for project-level roadmaps in Jira Software.

your plan gives you two starting points for new scenarios:

  • blank scenario will create a new scenario based on the data from your Jira Software issues. It will not include any unsaved changes in your plan.

  • copy of an existing scenario will inherit changes from the scenario of your choice.

Once you’ve created multiple scenarios, you can switch between them using the Scenario dropdown menu.

Create alternate versions of your plan using scenarios in Advanced Roadmaps for Jira Software Cloud.

Scenarios need to be enabled before you can use them. Learn how to enable scenarios in your plan
