By following the discussion I had a look wether JIRA people are
planning to add some support in that direction and in fact there are
some issues related to this:
http://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-12241 - Support for Product
Suites / Sub-Projects (22 votes)
http://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-3228 - Ability to add versions to
components (18 votes)
While this does not add any solution to the problem, you could all
vote for the issue or comment it. There are also a lot of duplicates...
Thanks for providing us this info.
The situation looks quite depressing as this issue seems to not going to be addressed in near
future. People's comments already expressed concerns about multiple projects approach. They bloat
Dashboard page and cause management problems because projects that are related when it comes to
functionality and making releases completely lack this information in JIRA. It's exactly an issue
which what Ralph raised[1].
On the other hand, current situation is also rather unacceptable because our current versions
defined in JIRA do mean /nothing/. We all agree we need separate (and more often, sight...) release
cycles and this *must* be expressed in JIRA.
I would hazard a guess that impossibility to plan independent releases in JIRA, assign issues to
specific version will be main cause for failing to do independent releases. I may speaking about
obvious things, but possibility to assign bugs to specific versions can improve situation both on
developer's and user's. We could have a better idea of what's need to be done before we can release
specific piece of code and our users would have a better idea when a specific issue will get fixed
and how far we are from releasing something.
I'm depressed...
