With Structure, you can easily create a visual overview of your projects – and visualize all the data you need to track on a single screen.

Step 1: Build Your Structure

To create a new structure:

• Open the Structure Selector menu and select Create New Structure
• Use the +Add menu to add issues and build your hierarchy:
  • Use Presets to use one of Structure's preconfigured hierarchies
  • Or configuring your own hierarchy using +Add | Insert | Basic Insert, +Add | Group, and +Add | Extend

Step 2: Add Data

Everyone uses the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) a bit differently, but Structure is highly customizable and easy to tailor to your specific SAFe needs.

Step 1: Build a SAFe Structure

To create a structure for SAFe: 

1. Open the Structure Selector menu and select Create New Structure
2. Add initiatives: +Add | Insert | JQL Query | enter the appropriate JQL, such as "Project = 'project name' AND issuetype = initiative"
3. (For non-Jira Plans users) Add epics below initiatives: +Add | Extend | Linked Items | choose the type and direction used to assign Epics to Initiatives, such as "Implements" or "Parent (Advanced Roadmaps)"
4. Add the rest of your issues: +Add | Extend | Child issues | under Add, select Issues under epics, Sub-tasks, and (for Jira Plan users) Jira Plans hierarchy.
5. Sort by rank: +Add | Sort | Field | select "Rank"

Step 2: Add Data

Tempo's Strategic Portfolio Management solution is a modular approach to help organizations focus their priorities, people, and spend across their portfolio of products and services.

1. Build your portfolio roadmap in Strategic Roadmaps.

2. Manage your work in Structure:

   • Link your roadmap plans to existing work or create new work.

   • Assign the work to teams.

   • Manage timelines, dependencies, and resource allocations in Structure.Gantt.

3. Track work in Structure or Jira. As teams work, their progress is automatically updated in Structure.

4. Update the original roadmap with up-to-date execution data, allowing leadership to make decisions based on real-time information.

5. Monitor the financial health of your portfolio using Cost Tracker and Structure.

6. Manage resources and resource allocation with Planner and Structure.Gantt.

7. Build custom reports to monitor your portfolio with Custom Charts for Jira.
