What are roll-ups in my plan?
This page refers to the advanced planning features that 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.
A big problem for planners is that what you plan isn’t always what ends up happening. Instead of forcing you to manually update values of parent issues, you can tell Advanced Roadmaps to infer values of parent issues based on those of the child issues. This is referred to as a roll-up.
From the View settings menu on your timeline, choose either option to infer a value:
Dates - includes start and end dates. Learn more about how your plan rolls up dates
Others - includes estimation values, releases, sprints, and teams. Learn more about how your plan rolls up estimates
Rolling up dates is a calculation that only exists for planning purposes in Advanced Roadmaps. When you commit changes back to your Jira issues, rolled-up values are saved as a static number or text as if they’re manually set. This value stored in your Jira issue will not dynamically update as your plan evolves.
When a value is rolled up, your plan shows an arrow next to the value of the rolled-up field:
