Advanced Roadmaps integration vs. the Advanced Roadmaps built-in Excel exports

You may want to ask: if Advanced Roadmaps has a built-in Excel export feature, why would you use another app for the same?

While the Advanced Roadmaps built-in Excel exports may be sufficient for basic use cases, the Better Excel Exporter integration is more powerful in, at least, these:

If at least one of these is important for you, give the app a try.

Advanced Roadmaps plan scope

This sample is the Excel export of a plan built with Advanced Roadmaps for Jira, including Initiative, Story and Task type work items (issues). It is exported from the Issue Navigator using a custom column configuration, which includes all Advanced Roadmaps-managed custom fields plus Epic Link.

Create custom Excel reports from Advanced Roadmaps for Jira data. This example compares the logged hours and estimated hours to calculate a progress rate by Initiative (the highest issue level in our example).

Advanced Roadmaps resource cost report

Advanced Roadmaps resource cost report

Similarly to the previous example, you can build a project- or resource cost report in Excel. In this one, we exported the dollar value of the work performed per team for each epic, and used the Excel pivot chart feature to automatically visualize the resulted Resource Cost Report.

Configuration

Configuring the Advanced Roadmaps custom fields

There is nothing to do. Better Excel Exporter will automatically recognize the Advanced Roadmaps-managed fields and export them accordingly.

Exporting issues in an Advanced Roadmaps program

Advanced Roadmaps offers several JQL functions to find issues in a program, in a plan, by parent, by child, etc. Use these JQL functions in the Issue Navigator to search for the issues to export, sort the issues, then export the result using Better Excel Exporter.

To search for the issues in an Advanced Roadmaps program, use this JQL: 

issuekey IN issuesInProgram(12)

...where "12" is the program's ID. To learn its ID, open the program, and you will see the ID in the page URL (in the browser's address bar).

Exporting issues in an Advanced Roadmaps plan

To search for the issues in an Advanced Roadmaps plan, use this JQL: 

issuekey IN issuesInPlan(34)

...where "34" is the plan's ID. To learn its ID, open the plan, and you will see the ID in the page URL (in the browser's address bar).

Exporting issues within the hierarchy, by team and by target dates

Similarly to the use cases discussed in the previous sections, you can use JQL to search for:

  • the issues linked via the Parent Link custom field
  • the parents of issues
  • the children of issues
  • the issues assigned to a team
  • the issues that have target start- and target end dates

See the Advanced Roadmaps documentation for examples.
