Easy Agile Roadmaps for JIRA @TwitterTPM
At Twitter we often do roadmapping in Confluence, Whiteboards and/or Google docs. This works well until we need to move them into JIRA for the user story breakdown and then over time the original doc becomes stale. We looked at JIRA Portfolio to address this but the tool is a little too heavyweight for our needs. We have found the sweet spot with an add-on called “Easy Agile Roadmaps for JIRA” in the Atlassian Marketplace. The plug in allows us to space out our key epics, by theme, based on expected ship dates and quickly communicate keys dates to all dependent teams; sales, marketing, finance, ops etc.

Roadmaps are an essential tool for every product manager. They enable a product manager to communicate the vision and journey a product will take over time, ensuring that all stakeholders are on the same page.
Easy Agile Roadmaps for JIRA enables the product manager to quickly:
- build a sequential roadmap of epics,
- split epics into swimlanes (called themes),
- add markers to the roadmap to show events,
- size epics to show how long a chunk of work is estimated to take,
- track progress towards epic completion, and
- keep stakeholders appraised of updates.
Easy Agile Roadmaps enables teams to align around the vision for a product and how they’ll sequence features for delivery to customers.
