Use this interactive demo to learn how to set up a new Structure in your Jira workspace.

Quick summary

The Jira Structure feature lets teams organize work items into custom hierarchies across projects and spaces. This demo walks through every step to create a new Structure in Jira using the Apps menu and Speed Mode setup wizard.


Steps

  1. On Jira's main home page, navigate to the left-hand panel and click Apps.
  2. Tap Structure from the Apps dropdown to proceed.
  3. Choose Structure from the list of available options.
  4. Click Create a New Structure to begin the setup.
  5. Select Continue in Speed Mode for a quick and streamlined creation process.
  6. Click the space you want to include, then click Continue.
  7. Review the included work items and their groupings, adding or removing levels as needed.
  8. Click Continue to proceed to the naming step.
  9. Fill in the essential details: Name, Label, Description, and Access Type.
  10. Click Create to apply and finalize your new Structure.
  11. Your new Structure is now created and added to the selected Jira space.

📌 Why this matters

Jira Structure is a powerful app that enables teams to build custom hierarchical views of issues beyond Jira's default project hierarchy. By organizing epics, stories, and tasks into flexible multi-level structures, teams gain clearer visibility into cross-project work and dependencies. This is especially valuable for program managers and Agile teams who need to plan and track large initiatives across multiple Jira projects. Creating a Structure in Jira streamlines sprint planning, portfolio management, and stakeholder reporting in one unified view.
