Simplify Jira dependency management and bulk editing of issue link relationships with Mindmaps for Jira
Manage Jira issue links of any issue link type. You can select which link type to explore, and Mindmaps for Jira will generate a full issue link dependency graph. Build up a new hierarchy or change your Jira related issues with simple drag-n-drop. Perfect for traceability.
A mind map is a great way to visualize and communicate your ideas. A key benefit of mind maps is that they allow you to break down large and complex concepts in to smaller, more manageable pieces.
Add colors and symbols (Emojis) to enhance your messaging. Export or print for presentation and sharing, or continue working in Jira to take off with your plan! Free for up to 10 users.
Create your own Jira mind map, or collaborate with your team to brainstorm the full plan in a Jira project with shared user access.
Creating a Jira mindmap becomes easy, to create a new task, just press on the node with + to create a new task. Mindmaps for Jira support efficient multi-creation of tasks, so after you have input the description of your new tasks, just press Enter and you can directly continue writing to key in the description of your next task, and so on. This allows you to efficiently create a larger mind map quickly.
Jira dependency management and linking of issues made easy
Mindmaps for Jira provide a useful way to quickly link issues in Jira, not just linking one issue with another, but even to quickly link multiple issues together, or even to create new issues linking to the parent issues.
This is achieved by the visual Jira issue link structure, that allows you to see the whole Jira dependency graph directly in the tool. You start by selecting the Link type that you would like to visualise in the interface. The dependency graph will now load, and if you would like to see further levels in the dependency graph you can click to expand specific nodes you would like to expand.
Creating a new linked issue is easy - you press the + Action. Key in the description for the new node, and the issue will automatically be created when you press Enter. You can easily create multiple new linked issues, by just keying in the descriptions for the issues separated by the Enter key. This allows you to quickly create a complete structure of linked issues.
Mindmaps for Jira also excel in changing linkages between Jira issues. In fact, you can even perform bulk edits to the linkages between, nodes, by selecting multiple child nodes in a single operation. Changing the issue link dependency is as easy as clicking to select the node(s) you want to change, and then dragging and dropping it with the mouse on the node that you would like to be the new parent issue. This allows you to change the linkages of multiple issues in a few mere seconds!
Removing links between issues is just as easy. Select the child node that you would like to no longer be connected, and drag and drop it to the + Create node in the root level of the project. This will drop the existing link that existed between this node and its parent.
The best part? The linked issues are now correctly linked also in other views and parts of Jira, not just in the Mindmaps for Jira interface itself. All the changes you make through Mindmaps for Jira is reflected in the overall system.
Mindmaps for Jira gives you optimal productivity when you want to manage linked issues in Jira, be it creating new linkages, analysing dependencies of tasks in the project, or moving/removing dependent tasks. This is because the visual dependency graph provides you with a complete different interface that allows you to visualise and use simple mouse operations to change the structure of your linked issues.
