Gain clarity into your agile projects

Hierarchy for Jira goes beyond Jira's default three level hierarchy, making it quick and easy to access the project information you need, when you need it. A more flexible and structured hierarchy in Jira means you can drill down and focus on specific parts of your project to make better decisions, faster.

Link every task to the bigger picture

Hierarchy for Jira shows you the relationship between every issue in your agile projects. By nesting your issues together, you can see how they relate to one another to help your team prioritise their work and hit their goals faster.
