Product Roadmap

Allow users to use issue links to define work inside of forecasted items

Implement a template 'get started' approach to creating group forecasts

Allow a user to create group forecasts from precanned templates set up according to best practices.

Native Confluence Widget for Group Forecasts

Add widget to confluence page that allows you to pick a group forecast to show on the page.

Share forecast via email

Allow users to share forecasts to stakeholders via email. The email would be a one-time action containing the current forecast.

Subscribe to forecast via email - Advanced Edition

Jira Cloud - Advanced Edition (coming soon) Provide an option for automatically re-running the forecast on a custom schedule in addition to the existing manual option. Granular choices, including day of week, specific dates in a month, and/or time of day will be available.

Allow forecasting of unrefined work items

Not started items with no remaining work can be forecasted based on designated configurations. Options are still to be determined but are likely to include options based on historical data and perhaps even t-shirt sizing.

Respect group forecast permissions on portfolio

Right now if you share a forecast portfolio with someone, they can see all contents there regardless of the permissions on a group forecast. We will be updating this to honor forecast permissions. When we do honor these permissions, If you are invited to a forecast portfolio and don't have permission to see one or more of the included group forecasts, you will see a note letting you know which forecasts are excluded due to your permissions so that you can discuss that with the necessary people.

Add support for version forecasting

Currently the new Portfolio Forecaster only supports Parent containers via Issues. We will be adding support for forecasting by version container as well.

Implement Data Realm migrations between Atlassian Jira locations

Scheduled forecast generation - Advanced Edition

Allow users to subscribe to get an email update when the forecast updates.

Filter portfolios by group forecast

Support data residency for Australia (Sydney) Realm

Improved Demo and Trial Experience

Build a standalone SaaS version of Portfolio Forecaster

A standalone SaaS version of Portfolio Forecaster would be useful for those who are working in systems without an integrated solution. It would also work well for use in training situations if data can be uploaded.

Burnup / Progress Report for Parent work items

Group Forecast Executive Status capability

Allow forecast admins to enter data into a field called executive status. Allow viewers to see the latest status for a forecast. This would require the status text to be stored in AWS so it can be displayed on the forecast. This will unlock the capability of future features such as displaying on any forecast portfolio the forecast is added to and even sending email updates. If this interests you, is there any value in having the previous statuses or just the latest?

Show warning indicators on forecasts

Show indicators of trouble inside forecasted items (like blocked or past-due work)

Due Date Likelihood History

If a forecasted item has a due date, allow the user to see the history of the likelihood of meeting the item's due date over time.

Forecasted Date History

Allow the user to see the history of the forecasted date for a particular forecasted item over time.

Allow users to see the latest executive status report from each included group forecast

This feature would allow users to see the latest executive status from each group forecast included in the forecast portfolio. This is dependent on the executive status feature being added to group forecasts.

Surface at risk due dates on the main dashboard

The dashboard (aka home page) would have an area that shows items from your favorite forecasts that have at risk due dates. Potential configurations could be changing which forecasts are viewed and defining what %ile "at risk" means.

Enable import from Google Sheets

Gantt chart view of forecast

Provide users with a more visual display of a forecast via a Gantt chart based on their chosen confidence level/likelihood. The difficulty is finding the start date in the simulations so we may visualize a fuzzy start time if necessary.

Build Portfolio Forecaster for Azure DevOps

Integrate Portfolio Forecaster into the cloud version of Azure DevOps

Child Issue Burn Down

Allow the user to see the history of the number of unfinished child issues within a particular forecasted item over time.

Implement support for Data Residency in US (East Realm)

Allow Group Forecasts to be displayed on a Jira dashboard.

Build a dashboard gadget that can display a group forecast on a Jira dashboard. Please comment with desired settings other than selecting the group forecast itself.

Support link format options in Confluence for forecast portfolios

When adding a URL for a forecast portfolio to Confluence, support the various link formats that exist: URL, Text Link, Card, and full display

Allow Product Discovery projects to be used in Portfolio Forecaster deeper.

Allow users to hide items in a forecast

After a forecast is generated, allow users to hide individual items from the current view.

Allow users to have more flexible date range selections when choosing throughput

In addition to the current capability of choosing a relative date we need to allow users to choose more specific date ranges or even use latest but exclude certain sections of it (like christmas break). This will allow users to choose data that more accurately reflects the time being forecasted.

See the impact of dependencies on the forecast

When group forecasts are configured into a portfolio, run a forecast on the portfolio as a whole to apply the impact of any cross-team dependencies.

Allow the Jira admin to handle items owned by decommissioned users

When a user leaves Jira, allow admins to reassign the forecasts and portfolios they have created to another user or archive them.
