Atlassian offers few plugins in our Marketplace that were developed by 3rd parties. You can find a list of most popular add-ons for JIRA here. A few of them are explained below.

Hierarchy/Organizational Plugins: 

·        Structure  – It is a tool that lets you organize issues into hierarchies of any depth, so you can plan your projects in as much detail as you need. Usually, in JIRA, the hierarchy would be Project, Epic, Story, and Subtask. The nomenclature is fixed. But using Structure add-on, it is possible to organize hierarchy according to your need.

·        Links Hierarchy for JIRA and Agile - Links Hierarchy resolves the historical lack of visibility for linked issues and subtasks on any JIRA edition as well as Epic hierarchies on JIRA Software. It allows users to deal with complex hierarchies at a glance, get full context and save them from making several clicks to navigate across JIRA pages to track linked issues and get the big picture.
