One look. Every angle -> Spectra turn one Jira project into every view you need

Spectra: turn one Jira project into every view you need

28-L.jpg

 

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.

Happy to answer questions below if you're evaluating it for your team.

 

Enjoy!
