Tired of Manual Reports? Let AI Create Custom Jira Dashboards With No-Code Apps Creator

[#1]

Every week, Atlassian Community members ask how to make custom reports like sprint health or team velocity charts. Jira’s built-in tools work well for the basics, but sometimes we need more visibility or a better way to summarize data across sprints, teams, and issues.

The good news is you no longer have to wait for developers or search through Marketplace plugins. With No-Code Apps Creator, you can simply describe what you need in plain English and let AI build the app for you. This gives you secure, admin-friendly apps powered by Forge, tailored to your Jira workflow.

What do you need to know about No-code Apps Creator?

No-Code Apps Creator is an AI-powered app for Jira that helps you build secure, custom apps, widgets, dashboards, and workflow tools in minutes. You don’t need any coding skills. Just describe your idea in a simple conversation, and the AI will generate an app that fits your process, from progress trackers to reporting dashboards. With easy deployment, you can have your own Jira apps running quickly, without any training.

Here are three examples of the most requested custom reports from the Atlassian Community, along with instructions on how to prompt the AI to create them using No-Code Apps Creator.

1. How to Build a Sprint Health & Progress Report

Why PMs ask for this custom report

Project leads often needs a clear snapshot of how the sprint is going. They want to show:

• How much work was planned vs completed

• A visual burndown chart

• Days remaining in the sprint

• Blockers or risks

Yes, Jira has a Sprint Report — but many PMs find it too limited or hard to customize for executive updates.

Your prompt for No-Code Apps Creator

“Create a dashboard gadget that shows the current sprint’s health and progress. Include a burndown chart of remaining story points vs. time, a summary of committed vs. completed issues, and the number of days left in the sprint. Indicate whether the sprint is on track or delayed with color-coded status (green for on-track, yellow for at-risk, red for behind schedule).”

2. High-Risk Issues Tracker

Why PMs ask for this custom gadget

Everyone wants to know what is late, blocked, or critical. This report brings together overdue tasks, upcoming deadlines, and flagged impediments into one clear list. It is the kind of view you want for every stand-up or stakeholder check-in, but Jira’s default filters make it hard to monitor everything in one place.

Your AI prompt

“Generate a dashboard gadget that lists all unresolved issues in my project which are high-risk. Define high-risk as any issue that is either flagged (marked as impediment) or has a due date that is past due (overdue) or coming up within the next 7 days. For each such issue, display the issue key, summary, assignee, priority, and how many days it’s overdue (or days until due). Use visual alerts: highlight overdue issues in red and issues due soon in yellow, so we can quickly spot items requiring immediate attention.”

3. Team Performance (Velocity Trend) Report

Why leads want to create their own dashboard

Tracking team performance over time helps with forecasting and sprint planning. Many project managers want a clearer view of whether their teams are improving, overcommitting, or having trouble with scope creep.

However, Jira’s built-in Velocity Chart only works for individual projects and does not provide trend analysis.

Your prompt for AI

"Build a dashboard gadget to analyze our team’s performance across sprints. Show a velocity trend chart for the last 3 sprints, plotting story points committed versus completed in each sprint. Calculate and display the average velocity over this period, and include a trend line or percentage change to highlight improvements or declines in velocity. Mark any sprint where scope changed significantly, or the team overcommitted, so we can easily spot anomalies."

How to Try No-Code Apps Creator for Yourself

If you are new to No-Code Apps Creator, here is how it works:

1. Install app from the Atlassian Marketplace (Jira Cloud only).

2. Open the app and start a new conversation.

3. Type your prompt or select a ready-to-use option.

4. The AI will generate a custom gadget, widget, or app and deploy it on Forge®.

5. You can tweak, regenerate, or extend the app anytime.

There is no coding, no searching the Marketplace, and no waiting for IT.

Final Thoughts

The truth is, most project managers, team leads do not want more tools. They just want Jira to answer simple questions like:

• “Are we on track?”

• “Is the team improving?”

• “What’s at risk right now?”

With No-Code Apps Creator, you can get those answers with a single prompt.
Try creating one of these dashboards and let us know how it helped your workflow.
