Hi folks

If you interact with JIRA for your roadmap please read on.

I have recently installed a plugin in JIRA which is called Structure -
details for it in [1-3] below.

The short story is: this plugin allows the creation of any-depth
hierarchies of issues (aka structures). Such hierarchies can be used to
visualise cards in a hierarchy starting with Epic cards, and breaking
them down into subcards and so on. One good thing is the ability to
share these structures with others, and you can also visualise the
position of a card in a hierarchy when viewing the card's details.

I have already done a short pilot of this plugin more, and heard no
negative feedback so I decided to open its access to the Linaro's TLs
and PMs. I would still think this opening as a "more extensive pilot"
rather than the normal status - we can customise the way Structure is
used to our need. In particular I am interested in receiving your
feedback on

- possible hierarchies amongst the cards which you handle now (point me
to the Epic cards and which cards those Epics compose of and I can help
create the structures for you)
- the fields that you would want to see in visualizing structures - ie
the column headings.

Some structures i created so far are in [4], [5] and [6].

All feedback is appreciated, please check the appended links for more
documentation. Any issues - eg no access or in the remote possibility
that something breaks - please ping me and I will help you.

Thanks,
Ilias
