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.

Others - includes estimation values, releases, sprints, and teams. Learn more about how your plan rolls up estimates

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:
