Dashboard

[Fahad Sarwar]

Can someone please tell me if we are using the latest free version of Jira? My product manager requires that we track 10 projects on a single platform, where all projects are synced on one dashboard. I have seen gadgets in the dashboard. Can someone tell me which gadget can help us and how we can view all 10 projects in a single gadget? We need to see the status of these projects, such as in-progress, done, etc.

Hello @Fahad Sarwar 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

Can someone please tell me if we are using the latest free version of Jira? 

We are a community of users of our own Jira instances. We don't have access to your instance so we can't tell you specifically what version it is. Are you asking for confirmation that you are using the Free product plan, or that you are using the most recent release? With the Jira Cloud product you are always on the most recent release. To determine if you are on the Free version you need to go to https://admin.atlassian.com to the Billing section and check your subscription.

Can someone tell me which gadget can help us and how we can view all 10 projects in a single gadget? 

Which gadget to use depends on exactly what kind of data you want to get.

To combine the data of all 10 projects, create and save a filter that retrieves the data from all 10 projects. Refer to this documentation for information on how to create and save filters.

https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/search-for-issues-in-jira/

We need to see the status of these projects, such as in-progress, done, etc.

Jira Projects don't have an overall status. Individual issues within projects have a status.

You could possibly use the Two Dimensional Filter gadget to list how many issues in each project are in each status.

But if the projects are not using the same Status values for the issues, this could be difficult to read.

Licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0 (the "License"); we are using this version of Jira. Let me explain again as it seems my query was not understood. We are using the free version of Jira and I have 10 projects in Jira, some are Scrum and some are Kanban. Each project has its own activities, like tasks in 'To Do' or 'In Progress'. My product manager wants me to show the performance of all projects on a dashboard, where the status of these 10 projects can be seen, including day-to-day progress, tasks in 'To Do', and tasks 'In Progress'. Can you please help me with this?

Thank you.

Hi @Fahad Sarwar

By using our Great Gadgets app you can track all your projects in a single gadget.

The Release Burndown Burnup Chart gadget offered by our app can be used as a cross-project burndown / burnup, thus showing the amount of work done and work remaining at the global level. In addition, it can forecast the ETA of the overall project.

All you have to do is to configure the gadget with a filter / JQL that returns the issues from all the projects that you want to track. It works with any type of estimates and can include sub-tasks in the calculation. 

Similar to this you can track the overall velocity by using the Kanban Velocity gadget offered by the same app. 

Very useful for your case can be the Pivot Table and Pivot Chart Gadget offered by the same app, which can display completion status a the project level, in term of number of tasks or percentages!

  

See these gadgets and many others offered by the same app, which you will find useful for tracking cross-project metrics, in these articles:

• https://community.atlassian.com/t5/App-Central/How-to-track-scaled-agile-SAFe-projects-in-Jira-with-Great/ba-p/1929694

The app is free with the Jira free plan (up-to 10 Jira users). Otherwise, you can start with a 1 month free trial. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us at support@stonikbyte.com.

Hope this helps.

Danut.

Hi Fawad,

Which Cloud version you are running is irrelevant - just consider yourself to be running the latest version because you won't really be able to tell the difference. 

I would actually create the "projects" as Epics in a single Jira project. Then you have have all of those statuses for the "projects"/Epics and report them in the dashboard using a pie chart gadget or issue statistic gadget based on the Status using a filter like: project = ABC and issuetype - Epic.

I’m not sure about whether this App can help with your sprint status tracking in one view:
