Release Management with Structure
With Structure, you can track all the issues for upcoming releases – even if they're from different projects – and visualize all the data you need to track on a single screen.
Step 1: Build a Release Management Structure
To create a structure for release management:
- Open the Structure Selector menu and select Create New Structure
- Add the issues you want to track – you can add them manually or automatically using +Add | Insert | Basic Insert
- Group issues by fix version: +Add | Group | Field | select "Fix Version/s"
Want to include epics and stories?
When inserting issues, add epics: +Add | Insert | Basic Insert | open the Issue Types dropdown and select Epic
Add your stories: +Add | Insert | Child Issues | under Add, select Issues under epics and (optional) Sub-tasks.
Step 2: Add Data
Next, add the data you need to track by clicking the + button at the top-right corner of the structure. You can add as many columns as you need, including:
Issue Fields - For each issue field in your Jira, Structure offers a column that displays that field's value.
Progress - Display an aggregate issue progress, which is calculated based on values from the issue and its sub-issues.
Totals - Display aggregate values for issue progress, which include progress values from sub-issues.
Service Management - Jira Service Management customers can visualize and manage SLA fields within a structure.
Work Logged - View and manage Timesheets by Tempo work logged data alongside your project data.

Once you've added your columns, you can aggregate the data up the structure. To do so, open the column you want to aggregate and select Sum over sub-items.
