How to Create Custom Jira Reports and KPIs, No-Code Required
If you're stuck with default Jira reports, you're not measuring what truly matters. It's time to let Bytesy the Owl show you a smarter way.
How many times have you stared at a Jira dashboard, knowing the data you really need is missing?
You know the questions that keep you up at night:
- "How long did that ticket really spend 'In Progress' versus 'Waiting for Review'?"
- "What's the status of the Parent Epic for all these sub-tasks in my report?"
- "Why can't I just build a simple chart for my team's unique KPI?"
But Jira’s built-in reports can't answer them. You end up in "Excel hell," trying to manually merge data. You waste time writing complex JQL, or worse, you get stuck in a long queue waiting for a Jira admin to help.
By the time you get your answers, the data is stale and your project has already moved on.
At Snapbytes, we believe data should work for you, not the other way around. That's why we listened to our wise owl, Bytesy.
Bytesy’s wisdom: “If a metric doesn’t exist, create it!”
Guided by her logic, we built SnapMetrics – Real Time Analytics.
Why Do Standard Jira Reports Fall Short?
Jira's standard reports are great for standard problems. But your process isn't "standard."
The core issue is a lack of flexibility. You are limited to predefined metrics. You can't easily measure the unique parts of your workflow or see the hierarchical connections that are critical to project management. You're forced to adapt your questions to what the reports can show, not what you need to know.
The Solution: Measure What Truly Matters, Instantly
SnapMetrics – Real Time Analytics is a powerful, no-code reporting app that plugs directly into your Jira instance. It empowers you—the project manager, the team lead, the agile squad—to build the custom reports you've always wanted, right from your dashboard.
No admin rights. No coding. No exports.
How to Create Custom Jira KPIs Without Admin Rights?
SnapMetrics – Real Time Analytics has an intuitive interface that lets you define and track metrics unique to your team’s process. If you can think of it, you can measure it. Track operational KPIs, agile metrics, or team-specific goals on the fly.
How to Measure Time Passed Between Any Workflow Event?
Stop guessing where the bottlenecks are. SnapMetrics – Real Time Analytics lets you instantly visualize the time elapsed between any two workflow statuses (e.g., 'Backlog' to 'In Progress', or 'In Review' to 'Done'). You get real-time, actionable data to optimize your flow.
How to Get Better Hierarchy Reports with Parent Issue Fields?
A sub-task is useless without the context of its parent Epic. SnapMetrics allows you to explore, filter by, and report on parent issue fields. Finally, you can get the multi-level, hierarchical visibility you need to see the big picture.
The Real Value: From Stale Data to Real-Time Decisions
This isn't just about making prettier charts. It's about changing how you work.
- Live, Real-Time Analytics: Your reports are always up-to-date. What you see is what's happening now, allowing you to act faster.
- Total Control, Zero-Code: Empower your teams to build their own reports without waiting for anyone.
- Clarity, Not Clutter: Build reports that evolve with your projects. As Bytesy says, "Measure what truly matters."
The Bytesy Philosophy
Bytesy reminds us that every number tells a story—but only if you know what to measure.
That’s why SnapMetrics – Real Time Analytics isn’t just a reporting app; it’s a thinking companion for teams that want clarity, not clutter. It's for teams that are curious, for teams that want to improve.
Because when you can measure anything, you can improve everything.
