How to Create a Portfolio & Manage Multiple Projects

Need to manage multiple Jira projects from a single view? In this tutorial, I'll show you exactly how to create a project portfolio in Jira using Jira Plans (formerly Advanced Roadmaps) — including setting up plans, adding multiple projects, defining teams, and tracking dependencies. ⚠️ **Important:** Advanced Roadmaps is available on **Jira Cloud Premium and Enterprise** plans. 🔹 Why this matters: A project portfolio gives you a bird's-eye view of all your initiatives across teams and projects. Instead of jumping between boards, you can see dependencies, track progress, and make strategic decisions from one place. 🔹 What Advanced Roadmaps gives you: - **Multi-project planning** – Combine issues from multiple Jira projects - **Team capacity planning** – See workload across all teams - **Dependency tracking** – Visualize blocks and waits across projects - **Automatic scheduling** – AI-powered delivery forecasts - **What-if scenarios** – Test changes without affecting live data - **Strategic themes** – Categorize work by business objectives 🔹 Alternative for Free/Standard Jira: - Use a single "Portfolio" project with custom fields - Use Planyway - Combine filtered boards or dashboards 🔔 Subscribe to Planyway for more Jira tutorials, portfolio management tips, and project management guides. #JiraPortfolio #AdvancedRoadmaps #JiraPlans #ProjectPortfolio #JiraTutorial #Planyway
