Description

« Hide

SITUATION:
I create project categories from different perspectives, i.e.
1. a framework development and customer projects using its libraries.
2. development projects vs. QA projects vs. customer service projects.
3. a framework development and an QA project for this.

My JIRA project fits in multiple categories, i.e. it is a framework AND it is a development project.

Depeding on my role, I'm occupied with all service projects or with a project's development and QA, and so on.

PROPOSAL:
Allow to associate a project with more than only one category. Then I can configure my dashboard by selecting the category best fitting my point of view.

Frank,

If a project belonged to two categories, would it display in the various projects-grouped-in-categories views found in JIRA? It rather breaks the one to many model we've assumed.

With 'roles', I think you could achieve what you want with multiple dashboards in 3.0:

You could have a dashboard configured per 'role' that you have; so selecting the "dev & QA" tab would show you a dashboard configured with info relevant to that task.

Does that sound like it would solve the problem?

Nope. There is really no way around having the project list able to be managed in a tree structure. Allowing N...N project categories would allow projects to be properly grouped and displayed.

I need to clarify. Each project should be allowed to belong to N project categories. Each project category should be allowed to belong N project categories. Granted I have not yet brought up a test enterprise version of Jira (we use Pro) but from the information I have seen on it thus far it seems that a project can only belong to a single category, etc.

We have similar needs.
1)Define project categories with options, ex.
project category A

project category B

2)Link project to more than one categories,ex.
Project001 belongs to A_1, B_3.

Thanks
