Advanced Roadmaps is Atlassian's Project Portfolio Management (PPM) solution, an agile roadmapping and project planning app for Jira Software.

Advanced Roadmaps integration features

  • You can export Due date values (system field) and Start date values (standard Date Picker custom field type) to PDF.
  • You can export the Advanced Roadmaps-managed custom field types like Original story points, Parent Link, Team, Target start and Target end, to PDF.

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

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

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

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

This is the export of an Epic-type work item from an Advanced Roadmaps plan. It contains all the Advanced Roadmaps specific custom field values in addition to the built-in ones.

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

Configuration

Configuring the Advanced Roadmaps custom fields

There is nothing to do. Better PDF 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 PDF 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.
