Goal Mapping feature is now available!

  • If your board is big, we do not recommend you use this feature.

  • If your board has a complicated association between goals and epics, we do not recommend you use this feature.

  • The feature does not support mapping goals with the Epic issue type or issue types with a higher hierarchy level than Epic.

General introduction

What is goal mapping?

Currently, Jira only supports three levels for issues. ( Epic → Story/Bug/Task → Subtask ).
In the story map, we can support four levels for issues ( Goal → Epic → Story/Bug/Task → Subtask )

Previously, the goal in the story map was stored in the app database; users couldn’t search for anything about the goal on Jira.
Now, we have released a new feature; users can map goals with an issue type, and use a link type to mark the relationship between goals and epics.

Now you can plan your project with four levels of issue. Any changes in the relationship between goal and epic are shown through the issue link. You can check by opening the issue dialog/page.
