Before you begin

To configure the settings of a plan, you need to have the Portfolio for Jira user permission. See Permissions in Portfolio for Jira to know more about plan permissions.

Portfolio for Jira has several settings that you can configure for your plans, so you can plan work better for your team.

Sample estimation settings

Note that we're still iterating on how settings are configured in the new experience. At this time, you can configure the following settings:

Scheduling

Choose how you want to estimate the issues in your plan:

  • Days
  • Hours
  • Story points (only available when the issue source is a Scrum board)

Issue sources

You can modify the issue sources of your plan at any time. Note that changing issue sources will affect your the scope, releases, and teams in your plan.

  1. In your plan, click settings () > Configure > Issue sources.

  2. Click Edit issue sources. This will display the 'Create plan' wizard.

  3. Select your issue sources from existing boards, projects, and filters, and then click Next.

  4. Select the releases to include in your plan, and then click Next.

  5. Select the issues to include as the scope of your plan, and then click Done.

Permissions

As a Portfolio for Jira administrator, you can choose the users who can make changes in a plan, and the users who can only view a plan.

Sample plan permissions

To manage plan permissions:

  1. In your plan, click settings () > Configure > Permissions.
  2. From the Edit drop-down, choose the users who can make changes in the plan.
  3. From the View drop-down, choose the users who can only view the plan.
