What are roll-ups in my 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.

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 your plan to infer values of parent issues based on those of the child issues. This is referred to as a roll-up.

Rolling up dates is a calculation that only exists for planning purposes in your plan. When you commit changes back to your Jira issues, these rolled-up values aren’t saved and the date field of your issue will be empty.

When a value is rolled up, your plan shows an arrow next to the value of the rolled-up field:

This arrow indicates that a value in Advanced Roadmaps for Jira Software Cloud is inferred, or rolled-up.
