Gantt and plans

The Stratify Gantt shows work items from several projects using a JQL, draws them as bars on a timeline, and nests them according to the configured hierarchy and the Parent Element field.

Open Stratify from the app’s global page (Command Center focused on the Gantt).

Create or open a plan

1. Enter a JQL. Stratify shows an approximate count before save.
2. Run the search. You only see issues your permissions allow you to read.
3. Save the plan (JQL + view) so you can reopen it later.
4. If the JQL is invalid or you lack permission, you get a clear message; fix the query and run it again.

Each issue is a bar between start and end dates (or the configured date fields). If a date is missing, the UI flags it (placeholder or incomplete state). Each bar shows at least key and summary.

The timeline supports basic zoom and pan.

Nesting

Bars are grouped using:

• The administrator’s Parent → Children rules.
• Each issue’s Parent Element value.

You can expand and collapse levels. Issues without a parent, or whose parent is outside the JQL result, are grouped explicitly (for example No parent).

Next step

Dates you move on the Gantt do not go to Jira until you sync. See Sandbox and sync.
