Program and Program Increment JQL Functions for Jira Cloud

The Program and Program Increment custom fields can be queried using JQL to show a list of which issues have been scheduled in a Program or Program Increment.

Moving issues in/out of Sprints that are part of a Program Increment, will automatically update these fields to reflect the name of their Program and Program Increment. This can be achieved by moving issues on the backlog, in the issue view or within Easy Agile Programs.


Using JQL to search for issues in Programs/Program Increments

Searching for issues in a Program

“Program” = “Program Name” to pull a list of all the issues that have been scheduled in that Program

Example: “Program” = “Commercial Space Travel


Searching for issues in a Program Increment

“Program Increment” = “Program Increment Name” to pull a list of all the issues that have been scheduled in that Program Increment

Example: “Program Increment” = “Get Ready to Launch


Searching for issues in a Program and Program Increment

You can also use the custom fields together for more targeted JQL searching, or where there may be multiple Program Increments with the same name i.e Q1 FY20.

“Program” = “Program Name” AND “Program Increment” = “Program Increment Name

Example: “Program” = “Commercial Space Travel” AND “Program Increment” = “Get Ready to Launch
