More details
🎯 Plan strategy inside Jira Standard
Hiera helps teams manage hierarchy, dependencies, workload and cost without moving planning work out of Jira.
🌳 Strategic Parents
Create configurable hierarchy levels above Epic, such as Theme, Initiative, Epic and Story. Assign parents one by one or in bulk, then export the mapping for audit or backup.
🗺️ Portfolio planning
Plan work on visual timelines, inspect dependencies, review risk, connect OKRs and export planning views when stakeholders need a snapshot.
⚖️ Workload & Capacity
Plan weekly hours by person and project against real availability (calendars, time off and holidays), compare plans with delivered work and rebalance overcapacity in one click.
💰 Cost control
Hourly rates per person or role, live planned cost per project and budgets that warn before the plan overruns.
🔒 Built on Atlassian Forge for Jira Cloud teams that need selected advanced planning capabilities without adopting a heavier planning stack.

Hiera 8.0 — our biggest release yet:
- Work calendars & time off: per-day hours, absences with half days and team holidays — weekly capacity now reflects real availability (OOO weeks flagged).
- Free capacity & one-click rebalancing: see the hours each person still has free, and move work to a colleague with spare capacity previewing both loads.
- Cost control: hourly rates per person or role, live planned cost per project, and budgets with an overrun traffic light.
- JQL-searchable hierarchy: hieraParent = "KEY-1" returns an issue's direct virtual children; a one-time banner indexes existing assignments.
- UI refresh with Atlassian Design System components.
New permission (write:issue.property:jira): used solely to power the JQL mirror.
