Data pull

[Stacy Norman]

I have 7 different teams, each with their own Jira projects and boards. Each team is using Jira differently. I need to be able to view resource allocation across teams. First, I need to understand how the teams are all currently using Jira and get everyone to use the fields needed to get the needed visibility. How do I pull a report of all of the fields used (required and not) for epics across all teams?

Jira does not provide any direct report to list all fields used in epics across multiple projects, but we can use Rest API

Using the Jira API endpoint /rest/api/3/field you can get a list of all fields

Fetch the epics the using a JQL reference like issuetype = Epic AND project in (PROJECT1, PROJECT2, ..., PROJECT7)

Hi @Stacy Norman , welcome to the community!

With 7 projects, I think the easiest way is to just go to each project and look at their Epics to get a sense of any common process/field usage between the 7. Use the create button and select Epic and try to save with nothing filled out to quickly see what's required. You can probably start with a preliminary filter showing Summary, assignee, status, reporter, created, and possibly due date? 

Ultimately, the desired metrics will need to be determined and the teams should coordinate some standards to help with documenting and providing that single pane of glass view.
