Common portfolio planning workflows we set up

What we help teams do in Jira portfolio management


Design portfolio hierarchies in Jira
Set up how initiatives, epics, teams, and work items connect so leaders can see progress from top-level strategy down to delivery.
Create a structure that supports planning, reporting, and ownership across many teams without making Jira harder to use.
Configure roadmap views across teams
Build roadmap views in Advanced Roadmaps or Jira Align so teams and leaders can see timelines, ownership, and key milestones in one place.
Make roadmap updates easier to trust by pulling them from live Jira data instead of separate slides or spreadsheets.
Set up capacity planning for quarterly delivery
Configure team plans and workload views so quarterly planning is based on real team capacity, not rough estimates.
Help teams balance planned work against available people and time so delivery commitments are more realistic.
Map and manage cross-team dependencies
Set up clear ways to track blockers, handoffs, and linked work across teams so risks are visible earlier.
Give PMOs and delivery leads a better view of what may delay delivery before issues spread across the plan.
Replace manual status reporting with live dashboards
Build dashboards and reporting views that pull directly from Jira so teams spend less time updating spreadsheets and slide decks.
Give executives and stakeholders faster access to current status, progress, and delivery risk without waiting for manual updates.
Standardize planning across Cloud or Data Center
Align fields, issue types, planning rules, and reporting structures so teams follow a shared model across Jira environments.
Improve data consistency across programs so portfolio reports are easier to read, compare, and trust.

What this implementation helps you achieve

Results teams get from better Jira portfolio configruation

One clear view across teams

See connected work in one place. Leaders can track work across teams, products, and programs without chasing updates in separate tools. Give teams a shared planning view. Priorities, ownership, and progress are easier to understand across the portfolio.

Reliable roadmap and forecast data

Plan with real data instead of guesswork. Roadmaps are built around team structure, dependencies, and capacity. Make forecasts easier to trust. Delivery estimates are based on a defined planning model in Jira.

Less manual reporting work

Reduce spreadsheet and slide work. Dashboards and reports update from Jira data instead of being built by hand. Free up time for better decision-making. PMOs can spend less time collecting updates and more time improving delivery planning.

Earlier visibility into delivery risks

Spot risks before they affect deadlines. Dependency gaps, overloaded teams, and planning conflicts are easier to see early. Act sooner on delivery issues. Leaders can respond before problems spread across teams and timelines.

A planning model teams can actually use

Match the setup to real team workflows. The configuration supports how teams already plan and deliver work. Improve data quality through better adoption. When teams use Jira consistently, portfolio reporting becomes more accurate.

Better alignment between strategy and delivery

Link high-level goals to team work. Initiatives, roadmaps, and delivery items connect more clearly in Jira, so leaders can see how work supports business priorities. Make planning decisions easier to explain. Teams and stakeholders can trace delivery plans back to agreed goals, timelines, and portfolio priorities.
Our step-by-step delivery approach
How we configure and implement your Jira portfolio setup
Discovery and planning

We review your current planning process, team structure, roadmap needs, and reporting goals to define the right portfolio setup.

  • Included: stakeholder interviews, current-state review, scope definition, planning goals.
  • Needed from you: access to key stakeholders, current Jira setup, and examples of reporting or planning pain points.
Portfolio design

We design the hierarchy, planning structure, dependency model, and reporting approach before configuration starts.

  • Included: target hierarchy, roadmap model, capacity planning approach, dependency design, reporting framework.
  • What we need from you: feedback on governance, planning cadence, team structure, and approval on the proposed design.
Configuration

We configure Jira Software, Advanced Roadmaps, Jira Align, and dashboards based on the agreed design.

  • Included: issue hierarchy setup, field and view configuration, roadmap setup, dashboards, and reporting logic.
  • What we need from you: admin access, test environment if available, and decisions on Cloud or Data Center scope.
Validation

We test the setup using real planning and reporting scenarios to make sure it works for day-to-day use.

  • Included: scenario testing, dependency checks, reporting review, issue fixes, and refinement of the setup.
  • What we need from you: sample plans, pilot teams, real use cases, and feedback from PMOs, managers, or team leads.
Rollout and enablement

We launch the setup and help your teams use it with confidence.

  • Included: rollout support, admin guidance, user training, and handover materials.
  • What we need from you: rollout owners, training attendees, and internal communication to support adoption.
Optimization

We review how the setup is working after launch and refine it based on usage, reporting gaps, and planning feedback.

  • Included: follow-up reviews, adjustment backlog, reporting improvements, and planning model updates.
  • What we need from you: user feedback, adoption insights, and priorities for the next round of improvements.

FAQ

  • When should we use Advanced Roadmaps vs. Jira Align?

    Use Advanced Roadmaps when you need to plan across multiple teams in Jira and want a simpler setup. It works well for portfolio views, capacity planning, and dependency tracking inside Jira Software.

    Use Jira Align when you need broader coordination across many teams, programs, or portfolios. It is a better fit when governance, executive planning, and enterprise-level alignment are more important.

    The right choice depends on your scale, reporting needs, and how much coordination is needed across the business.

  • Can this work with Jira Cloud and Data Center?

    Yes. We can configure portfolio management for both Jira Cloud and Jira Data Center.

    The setup depends on your current environment, the tools you already use, and how your teams work today. We shape the solution around that, not the other way around.

  • Do you fix our current Jira setup or start fresh?

    Both are possible. If your current setup is usable, we can improve and clean it up instead of rebuilding everything.

    If the structure is too inconsistent or the data is unreliable, a fresh setup may be the better option. The right path depends on your data quality, project design, and timeline.

  • How long does a portfolio management implementation take?

    It depends on the size of the setup. A smaller implementation with a few teams and clear requirements takes less time than a large rollout across many teams or business units.

    The timeline usually depends on tool scope, number of teams, reporting needs, and how much change is needed in the current Jira setup.

  • Will our teams need to change how they work?

    Some changes may be needed, but the goal is not to disrupt teams. The goal is to make planning clearer and reporting easier.

    We aim to fit the setup around the way your teams already work wherever possible. Any process changes should be practical, useful, and easy to adopt.

  • Do you have security/compliance documentation we can use for vendor due diligence (audits, certifications, privacy)?

    Yes. Deviniti’s Trust Center provides downloadable security and compliance documentation for vendor due diligence, including:

    • ISO/IEC 27001 certificate (ISMS)
    • ISO/IEC 27017 certificate (cloud security controls guidance)
    • SOC 2 Type 1 report
    • Privacy & Security Overview
    • CAIQ Lite – Apps (Cloud Security Alliance questionnaire)
    • Cloud Hosting Locations & Data Residency Options
    • Information Security Policy (AUP)

    For GDPR due diligence, Deviniti provides a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) under GDPR Article 28. As a general rule, personal data processing takes place within the EU/EEA. Where international transfers are necessary, Deviniti uses lawful transfer mechanisms (e.g., EU adequacy decisions and Standard Contractual Clauses) with additional safeguards. For products that support it, you can also choose service delivery exclusively via infrastructure located in the EEA.
