Links Hierarchy adds new elements that will allow you to know the status of each issue at a stroke, like:
individual issue progress
issue progress in scope
sprints' and epics' progress
affected by blocks issues and much more
Not only Jira Software (Agile) is supported, Portfolio for Jira is also supported. See the progress of your initiatives and any element of your hierarchy.
Links Hierarchy calculates these elements of the hierarchy:
Progress of resolved issues.
Progress of the storypoints resolved.
Progress roll up.
Progress of custom fields resolved and the individual progress of each issue.
Only "inwards" links
Only the issues that are being visualized that are low inward links contribute to the sum.
