Building custom reports

Kevin Ryan July 29, 2025

I am trying to build my own reports. Jira provides several standard project management agile based reports but for example the Burndown chart is based all 3 open, in progress and done. I'd like to be able to visualize the burndown based on MY board's statuses.
Another example is the Cumulative Flow Diagram. The issue is I can't apply a filter to it and it's pulling all the tickets from all time.

 

I've checked permissions and I can't find anything that would indicate I shouldn't have the ability to create my own reports and charts based on my own filters, but I am at a loss. Anyone have any suggestions or ideas?

Hi @Kevin Ryan,

Unfortunately, these Jira reports don't allow you to use custom statuses or JQL. But, as already advised, you can look for a plugin (app) on the Atlassian Marketplace that is capable of doing so.

If you are willing to try a plugin, our Great Gadgets app offers all you need for tracking your agile projects in the way you want.

For example, the Sprint Burdown Burnup Chart gadget lets you configure custom done statuses to map YOUR statuses.

In the same time, the Cumulative Flow Diagram gadget lets you specify your own filter or JQL and offers many other flexible settings.

To make a better idea about these gadgets (and the many others offered by this app that will help you replace Jira reports completely), have also a look over these articles:

Hi Kevin,

Your best bet is to use a third party tool like Mountain Goat or Broken Build.
