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:
-
It supports Excel automation.
You can export, email and attach Excel files using Automation for Jira (visual automation rules), ScriptRunner (Groovy scripts), or the REST API (use your favorite language!). -
It is extremely customizable.
Instead of accepting the pre-defined export types in Advanced Roadmaps, you can define your own types via Excel templates. -
It supports all the powerful Excel features.
You can use Excel formulas and functions, custom calculations in Groovy (sorting, complex math, data integration, etc.), charts, pivot tables, pivot charts, Visual Basic macros, among others. -
It is integrated with all the popular Jira apps.
You can freely combine Advanced Roadmaps data and other apps' data in the same Excel file. -
It comes with powerful templates optimized for Advanced Roadmaps.
You can use those "as is", or customize them to your needs. - It is well-documented with the customization guide, the Expression Reference Manual, the recipes, and such.
If at least one of these is important for you, give the app a try.

The Better Excel Exporter app enables exporting the issues in an Advanced Roadmaps plan to customizable Excel spreadsheets for reporting purposes:
Advanced Roadmaps Excel export samples
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.
Advanced Roadmaps plan report
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
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.
