How to see dev activity

[Bojana]

Is there a way to see what my developers are working on at the moment? Instead of going through every project and check out the in progress column for each of them, I would like to have a complete list of things that are being worked on at that moment

Hi @Bojana !

Yes, you can do that by creating a filter using the Jira Query Language (JQL) that pulls together all the issues currently being worked on by your developers. Here's an example:

Click on Jira search box and then "Advanced Search"
Click on "Switch to JQL" at the top right of the search form.
Enter a query like this: 'status = "In Progress" AND assignee in (developer1, developer2, developer3). Replace developer1, developer2, developer3) ' with the usernames of your developers.
You can replace "In Progress" with whatever status you use to indicate that work is currently underway. This will create a filter that shows all issues that are in progress and assigned to the specified developers.

If you have a large team or developers often change, you might want to use assignee in membersOf("jira-software-users") to include all Jiras software users. Or replace jira-software-users by the name of a user group that may contain all your devs (if one exists)

I would also restrict the filter to a project or group of projects and maybe consider all work that is not completed, something like this

project = KEY AND assignee in (developer1, developer2, developer3) AND statusCategory != Done

or like this

project in (KEY1,KEY2, KEY3) AND assignee in (developer1, developer2, developer3) AND statusCategory != Done

Additionally, you could save this filter and use it in a dashboard gadget, like the Filter Results gadget, to have an at-a-glance view of what everyone is working on. Saving it will also make it available in the filters dropdown menu in the main toolbar
