In Jira, Group issues on your plan

Plan lets you group issues on your timeline according to assignees, projects, component, teams, sprints, release, goals and labels. You can also group by custom fields.

To change how issues are grouped:

  1. Navigate to the View settings menu of your plan.
  2. Find the dropdown menu labeled Group by, then select how you want to group your issues.
  3. If you group by component or label, select + Create group. Enter a name and then start typing to find the components or labels to add to the group.

Before you can group by labels and components, they must be configured by an administrator. 

Any issues that don’t have a value in the selected field (for instance, no team is assigned to an issue, and you group by team) will be in the Unassigned swimlane at the bottom of your plan.

When grouping by sprint

Sprints involving multiple teams have a swimlane for each team. The sprint capacity will display for each team.

When grouping by release

Releases are ordered by release date. Those without dates, are at the bottom of the plan.

When grouping by custom field

The custom field types that can be used when grouping issues on your timeline are:

  • single-select
  • multi-select
  • user picker
  • label
