User Story Map Now Displays All Epic-Level Issues (Jira Cloud Premium & Enterprise)

We’ve enhanced the User Story Map in TeamRhythm for Jira Cloud (Premium & Enterprise plans)! You’ll now see all issue types mapped to the Epic level (Jira issue hierarchy level 1) displayed on the Story Map backbone—along with their child issues (unless filtered out by your board filter).

Why this matters:

Many teams use custom issue types at the Epic level. With this update, your Story Map now better reflects how your team actually works in Jira.

What’s new:

• All Level 1 (Epic-level) issue types are now shown on the Story Map for Premium and Enterprise customers.

• Child issues (linked via the Parent Link field) are displayed—unless your board filter hides them.

• Filtering stays the same—you’re still in control via your board filters.

Heads up:

This update is only available to Jira Cloud Premium and Enterprise users. Standard plan users will not see any change.

Why you’ll love it:

More flexibility for teams customizing their issue hierarchy.

Better alignment with how you structure work in Jira

Smoother planning and visibility in Story Maps.

Coming soon: We’re exploring an Issue Type filter right inside the Story Map for even more control. Stay tuned!
