Anyone who knows Jira will be familiar with its ability to link epics to stories to tasks and then display them all using Kanban.
Has anyone created anything that can do this? Would you be willing to share your ideas?
Can you share some screenshots for us to better understand the problem?
Hi Daniel,
Thanks for responding. This is of course not a problem, it is a need that I have, so I can’t really share screenshots. My question is really: Before I start investing time in trying to make it work, has someone already looked into it?
For info: I am aware of the Kanban and Timeline plugins and I am experimenting with them. What my need is can hopefully be explained with this example:
Epic: “Improve the Online Checkout Experience”
User Story 1: “As a customer, I want to save my payment details securely so I can check out faster in the future.”
- Task 1: Design the database schema for storing payment details securely
- Task 2: Implement encryption for saved payment details
- Task 3: Add a “Save my payment details” checkbox to the checkout page
So, the it goes Epic → User Story → Task - all are linked to each other. In Jira, you could see it like this:
The important thing is that they are linked to each other / are dependent on each other. And you can see them all in the same table/timeline)
My thought was to create an Epics table, a User Stories table and a Tasks table and then have a fourth table where I link the records together. And use this as the Kanban / Timeline . What is necessary is to be able to show them all. By the looks of things, only single/multiple select items can be used to display the Kanban columns. Do you think this will work?
I think you don’t need a fourth table. In Tasks table, you can link to User Stories table and Epics table, and use link formula to display fields in User Stories table and Epics table.
Then you can display the Tasks table in Kanban and Timeline.
Hi Daniel,
Thanks for your answer. Perhaps there are some users who have already implemented something similar.
In an attempt to do Critical Chain project management I tried something similar. It should be possible to do task estimation and tracking.
The main feature of jira that may be difficult to replicate is the “re-edit” of information. Is very clear Jira forms pull information from different tables and allow you to change them I’m not aware of a “form” equivalent in seatable that allows the same.
