Dahsboard to show multiple epic health and progress

[Umang dayal]

Hi,

I’m looking to create a dashboard in Jira for an executive audience that provides a consolidated view of Epic-level health across an engagement.

Specifically, I want to showcase:

• Number of Epics that are Completed, In Progress, etc.
• Health status of each Epic (Red, Amber, Green)
• Percentage progress at the Epic level

Context: Each Epic represents a web development project, with multiple stories underneath it. I’m aiming to build an engagement-level dashboard that gives a clear, high-level view of overall progress and risk.

Could someone guide me on the best way to set this up?

Hi @Umang dayal 

Welcome to the community !!

For detailed analytics and reporting you may want to try out a mktplace. Take a look at

Issue Hierarchy

You can view your Epics and the children in a tree view with %progress at each parent level. The app sums up the time spent / story points at each parent level. You can also view "%Completed" at each parent level based on status of child issues as per your requirement.

The app can be added as a dashboard gadget as well.

Do give it a try.

Hi @Umang dayal,

Welcome to the Atlassian Comunity!

You could make use of Jira native gadgets like Work Item Statistics,  Pie Chart or Two Dimensional Filter Statistics to display the number of epics in each status. All you have to do is to configure them with a filter that returns your epics. 

Unfortunately, the native gadgets in Jira do not provide the ability to display percentage of completion or overall health status.

To build a more effective and insightful dashboard, it is recommended to explore apps (plugins) available on the Atlassian Marketplace.

If you’re considering a plugin, our Great Gadgets app provides a comprehensive solution for tracking epics in a simple and efficient way.

With the Pivot Table & Pivot Chart gadget, you can:

• Group epics by status, status category, or any other fields to create any multi-field statistic you need
• Calculate and display completion percentages based on the child stories by different criteria (such as issue count, total story points, or time estimates)
• Visualize data using tables, heatmaps, or a variety of chart types

This approach allows for a much clearer and more flexible view of epic progress and overall project health.

The same app offers many other gadgets for displaying epics progress, such as epic burdown chart, work-break-down structure (WBS) or filter formula gadgets. 

For how to do this, see this article: https://community.atlassian.com/forums/App-Central-articles/How-to-display-the-progress-of-Epics-or-Initiatives-in-Jira-or/ba-p/2858840

Hi @Umang dayal and welcome to the Community!

I would assume this comes close to what you have in mind:

You have to make sure that you have appropriate status and progress indicator fields configured for your Epic work type. As soon as you have those and make sure to keep them up to date at regular intervals (e.g. weekly or monthly), building the dashboard becomes easy.

This example uses 2 types of gadget: filter results gadgets on the left hand side, pie charts to create the visuals on the right hand side. To create the gadgets, all you have to do is create and save a filter that returns the exact data set you want for your gadget and then attach that saved filter as the source of each gadget. 

Hope this helps!
