How to create roadmap in Jira?

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to build a clear and visual roadmap in Jira using Planyway:

1. Open Planyway. In Jira, go to the Apps section in the left-hand panel and click on Planyway.
2. Use the Users button to add relevant team members to the roadmap. You can include the entire team or just specific roles depending on your roadmap needs.
3. To build a cross-project roadmap, use the Add projects button in the left-hand panel to select all relevant projects. 
4. If you're working in an agile environment, go to the View dropdown and enable Sprints to display roadmap items aligned with your sprint schedule.
5. Schedule tasks and initiatives. Use Drag & Drop to assign start and end dates to issues directly on the roadmap, or set dates manually in the issue card.
6. Use the Group by button to organize roadmap items by team, epic, project, or component — depending on how you want to visualize progress and ownership.
7. For a high-level portfolio view, group by project to show how multiple initiatives run in parallel across teams.
8. Use the Milestones section on the roadmap to highlight important events like product demos, releases, deadlines, or decision points.
9. Share your roadmap with stakeholders and decision-makers by clicking the Share button or exporting it to PDF.
