External Share for Jira's new feature "Roadmap Share" allows Jira users to share their Jira Roadmaps with external stakeholders like clients or partners. This feature streamlines collaboration and enhances transparency between Jira users and external stakeholders.

Note that this share type is available on project level and operates differently from what you may expect. Rather than displaying a copy of your existing roadmap, it creates a new one from scratch using JQL. However, don't worry about setting it up as a default JQL definition is pre-set during creation that mimics Jira's default roadmap configuration. But you can customize your roadmap as per your requirements.

How does it work?

Roadmap Share is more than just a simple share feature.
It allows users to choose which issues to designate as epics in the roadmap. This means that you can create a roadmap consisting of issue types like "Bugs" as epics and display their subtasks on the roadmap as well. This feature empowers users to be creative and display different types of tasks on the roadmap as per their requirements.
