Built for Jira Cloud on Atlassian Forge

Turn Jira into a configurable roadmap execution engine

RoadOps for Jira automates template-driven workflows: validated ordering, schedule generation, phase gates, late-task checks, and release operations — with logic running in your Forge app, not scattered across fragile automations.

Jira tracks work. It doesn’t run your playbook.

Teams use Jira for issues and boards, but execution still depends on manual glue: copy-pasted templates, spreadsheet dates, and one-off automation rules that are hard to audit or reuse.

  • No template-driven execution engine — issues exist, but the “how we ship” logic lives in people’s heads and ad-hoc rules.
  • Dates and windows calculated by hand — easy to drift from the real calendar or team capacity.
  • Phases and gates opened manually — the next step waits on someone remembering to click the right transition.
  • Templates duplicated, not generated — structure from epics and task templates is recreated instead of driven from a single model.
  • QA and handoffs get lost — without a consistent gate, quality steps slip between teams.

RoadOps: one engine, your configuration

RoadOps adds a RoadOps engine inside Jira Cloud: protected operations you call from Jira Automation (or admin tools), backed by per-site and per-project configuration — labels, issue types, fields, statuses, and safety defaults.

Templates & structure

Drive work from templates and configured issue relationships instead of manual cloning.

Ordering & validation

Validate sibling order and apply ranking rules so the roadmap stays consistent.

Schedule generation

Generate schedules from templates and configured fields — fewer spreadsheet round-trips.

Gates & next phases

Next-task gates and phase-style flows reduce “who moves what next?” friction.

Late task checks

Scheduled-style scans help surface work that needs attention before it slips.

Protected Forge logic

Core behavior runs in the app backend on Forge — not as copy-paste in personal scripts or tokens.

How it works

  1. 1

    Configure the site (and projects)

    Use RoadOps Control Center to set defaults and optional per-project overrides.

  2. 2

    Map fields, issue types, and statuses

    Align Jira metadata with how your teams actually name epics, tasks, order fields, and states.

  3. 3

    Call RoadOps from Jira Automation

    Trigger protected operations on events you already trust — with dry-run options where it matters.

  4. 4

    Run protected operations

    Validate order, reorder, generate schedules, update from template, late-task checks, gates — according to your plan and config.

  5. 5

    Monitor health

    On supported plans, run health checks against project metadata so misconfiguration surfaces early.

Security & architecture

  • Built on Atlassian Forge — runs in Atlassian’s hosted runtime model for Forge apps.
  • No personal API tokens for normal operation — the app acts as the app, not as each user’s token.
  • No external server required by default for core product flows — data stays in Jira + app storage as designed.
  • Logic in the app backend — operations are implemented in Forge functions, not only in the browser.
  • Minimal OAuth scopes — scoped to what the engine needs; review the listing for the current manifest.

This is a product summary, not a certification. See your security review pack and Atlassian’s trust documentation for your org.

FAQ

Is RoadOps an official Atlassian product?

No. RoadOps for Jira is a third-party Forge app. Atlassian hosts the Forge platform; the vendor is responsible for the app’s behavior and support.

Do I need personal API tokens?

Normal operation is designed around the app acting with Forge/Jira APIs as the app. You should not need to paste personal tokens into RoadOps for core flows.

Will you support us 24/7?

No. Support is offered on business terms with documented response targets — not round-the-clock enterprise support unless separately contracted.

Does RoadOps replace Jira Automation?

It reduces the need for brittle, duplicated automation logic by centralizing operations in the app. You still use Jira Automation (or other triggers) to call those operations.

Is everything available on every plan?

No. Some features (e.g. certain health checks or higher limits) are tiered. See plan documentation and the Marketplace listing when published.

Where is configuration stored?

Per-tenant configuration is stored in Forge app storage (e.g. KVS) as described in the app’s technical docs — not on a separate vendor database for the default product architecture.
