Spectra: turn one Jira project into every view you need

If you've ever had to build three separate dashboards just to answer "how's this project actually doing," Spectra was built for exactly that problem.
Think of it like a prism - one input, split instantly into multiple views:
- Bar charts for volume and workload
- Trend lines for velocity and progress over time
- Pie/donut breakdowns for status or type distribution
- Scatter/distribution views for deeper pattern analysis
Cycle time & Flow

Time In Status & WIP

All of it lives on one page, and every chart is clickable - so when a number looks off, you drill straight into the underlying issues instead of exporting to a spreadsheet.
What makes it different from a standard Jira chart gadget:
- Click-to-cross-filter - click any bar, slice, or pivot cell and every other widget on the page refilters to match. It's linked brushing, not a separate filter gadget - answer "of the blocked work, who owns it and how long has it been stuck?" in three clicks.
- Metrics Jira doesn't store as fields - cycle time, time-in-status, WIP/status aging, SLA state, and reopen count are computed from each issue's change history and exposed as chart axes and filters. No JQL tricks, no formulas.
- 15+ chart types - bar, pie, line, stacked area, control chart (with p50/p85 lines), KPI, gauge, pivot, activity calendar, and a dependency matrix most gadgets don't offer at all.
- Point it at anything - a project, an agile board (for velocity/burndown), a saved filter, or custom JQL - including cross-project scopes.
- One-click templates for the reports people actually ask for: team overview, cycle time & flow, time-in-status & WIP, SLA & aging, flow history/CFD, velocity & burndown, epics & story points, dependencies & blockers.
- Runs entirely on Atlassian Forge - no external servers, no data egress. Your issues and history never leave your Atlassian instance.
- Free for up to 10 users, then $0.50/user/month (down to $0.25 at scale) - most comparable dashboard apps run $1-3/user.
Spectra is available now on the Atlassian Marketplace.
