Endless filters, dashboards that need tweaking, or exporting to Excel just to build the same monthly report again...
Even though the data already lives in Jira, getting it into a usable report often becomes a side project of its own. Many teams still rely on one or two "Jira experts" to build or maintain dashboards, or spend hours manually assembling views to answer the same questions every sprint.
I believe - reporting should be something anyone can do-quickly, independently, and with confidence.
Thereâs a big difference between âhaving data in Jiraâ and actually being able to use it. Most teams donât need fancy BI tools-they just need quick answers to everyday questions. And it turns out, many of those reports can be created by anyone on the team, without waiting for an admin, analyst, or dashboard wizard.
This shift matters more than it seems. When reporting becomes self-service, it:
Frees up technical teammates
Reduces reporting delays
Increases transparency
Helps everyone make decisions faster
And it boosts confidence. When people can access metrics themselves, they trust the results more-and use them.
Some reports seem too advanced to be self-service-but in practice, theyâre the ones every team should be able to pull up instantly. Here are five examples, each with what they show, why they matter, and how they can be accessed in just a couple of clicks.
What it tells you: The average time it takes to resolve issues from creation to closure.
Why it matters: Provides a high-level view of how efficiently work moves through the team, and can reveal trends in delivery or customer support responsiveness.
What it tells you: The gap between estimates and actual delivery.
Why it matters: Sheds light on planning reliability and room for improvement.
What it tells you: How tasks are allocated across the team.
Why it matters: Helps balance the teamâs workload and plan sprints in a way that maximizes the chances of completing everything thatâs been committed.
What it tells you: Task completion rate during the sprint.
Why it matters: Lets you intervene early if delivery is at risk.
What it tells you: The hierarchy of epics, stories, and tasks in context.
Why it matters: Helps teams see structure, status, and blockers in one view.
All of these reports can be pulled up without filters, no custom dashboards, and no Jira admin requests-thanks to prebuilt templates inside Report Hub.
If youâre using Report Hub, you donât need to write a code or understand how the report works behind the scenes. The interface is intuitive, and the reports are designed to be self-explanatory-so anyone can find what they need without having to learn Jira reporting logic.
Itâs about giving everyone a simple way to:
Pull reports for a variety of needs - ranging from standard reports like top-performers insights to structured WBS overviews
See metrics updated live from Jira data
Avoid context switching or waiting for someone to generate a chart
Less time wasted building dashboards
More clarity on whatâs working-and whatâs not
Shared understanding across teams
Fewer misunderstandings around priorities or progress
And most importantly - avoiding missed deadlines by spotting blockers and problems early.
If your team already uses Jira every day, getting useful reports shouldnât feel like a separate job. Whether you use Report Hub, making key metrics available in two clicks is a powerful way to support your team-without getting in their way.
