✨ Home Dashboards available in open beta!

[#1]

🎉 Calling all dashboard enthusiasts!

Earlier this month at Team 25, we unveiled an exciting new capability: Dashboards in Atlassian Home are now available for you to explore in open beta. This marks a significant milestone in our journey to deliver more versatile ways to visualize work progress and key metrics, all in one place.

To date, teams have relied on standard in-product reporting to track project status, however, as teams have increased the number of apps they use on a day-to-day basis, both business and technical teams now require more flexible reporting tools to monitor and share work progress.

While business intelligence and analytics solutions offer a highly customizable, and often wide-angled view of productivity, individuals and teams still crave easy to configure reporting across the everyday blend of apps they use to the get the job done - that’s where Home Dashboards come into play.

📊 What can I track with Home Dashboards?

With new templates, chart building capabilities, and more metrics from Atlassian and third-party tools, you can leverage Home Dashboards to ask more questions about how work is flowing:

Keep goals on track	Quickly understand which work is connected to team or individual goals so so you can focus your time on what matters most.
Manage software development	Combine Atlassian work data with third-party DevOps data in single view, so you always have a pulse on team capacity, deployments, cycle times, and more.
Optimize service health	Get a clearer picture of service desk health by visualizing ticket volumes, assignees, response times and more so you can achieve critical SLA targets.

Dashboards in Atlassian Home is designed for every team member, giving everyone a flexible way to report on their work. During open beta participants can build charts and dashboards leveraging Jira, Jira service management, Goals and third-party DevOps data.

🧩 Features we’re excited about

Customizable dashboards and layouts  Configure dashboards to your specific needs. Use ready-made chart and dashboard templates to quickly uncover insights related to your projects and goals.
Centralize reporting across Atlassian apps Combine data from all of your apps into a centralized view and use dashboard filters to refine all charts, so you can zoom in on what matters most.
AI-powered insights Generate charts from natural language prompts, and make sense of your data with AI-powered summaries displaying trends over time.

Hi @Allanah Miller 

Thank you for the information on this new version of dashboards and visualizations!  It seems like good progress as the old dashboard features had stalled on improvements, leaving customers to resort to using marketplace apps to fill the gaps.

What has the team considered in regards to adding such visualizations to automation capabilities?  For example, perhaps adding a rule action to generate a visualization (e.g., using the gadget settings your examples show) and then allowing that to be embedded as an image when an email or Slack message is sent.

Kind regards,
Bill

Hello!

We're currently exploring ways to improve the Home dashboard experience (currently in Beta). If you use Jira Dashboards or Home Dashboards, we’d love to hear from you!

We’re running 1 hour long usability sessions to better understand how you use filters, what’s working well, and where things could be better. Your feedback will help us design dashboards that are more powerful, flexible, and tailored to your needs.

Who we’re looking for:

• Users of Jira Dashboards and/or Home Dashboards

• Comfortable with filters, or curious about making dashboards more useful

• Happy to chat for 1 hour over Zoom

Interested?

• Just fill out this quick form and we’ll be in touch to schedule a time.

• You’ll receive a gift voucher to thank you for your time

We’re looking forward to hearing from you,
Elinor
Product Designer @ Atlassian

Wow! This looks quite promising to be honest :)

We've been struggling with Jira Dashboards for a while now and have mostly redirected clients to Marketplace apps (if they are willing to pay for something like that), but this might be quite a decent thing if you don't have Atlassian Analytics. 

I'm keen to see development progress of these 😄

As long as this ends up in Jira without us having to expose users to all the complexity of the Atlassian Home features (e.g. Projects, Goals), then I will be happy, however if Jira Dashboards are sacrificed to force users down the path of using the Atlassian Home, then I'm going to face some very unhappy users.

At least this explains why there has been no investment in Jira Dashboards, forcing us to go down the paths of PowerBI reports leveraging the RestAPI.
