How to find out what my team worked on today ?

[Jira Admin]

New to JIRA. I have about 50 developers working on 50 projects large and small. I need to create a single report that shows what they worked on today. I can get a list of tasks and open them one at a time and view comments part but trying to see if their is a better way, a single pane of view. May be their is a market place app ?

Hello,

You might try creating a Dashboard and add the Activity Stream gadget to the dashboard. You can have multiple gadgets - one for each user, or you can do one by project.

Hi @Jira Admin 

As suggested by Jason, worklogs report can help to track the tasks worked on by your team. If you are open to try out an app for detailed time tracking reports, you can try out

Worklogs Time Tracking in Jira & Timesheets

With this add-on, you can easily add time tracking reports as a dashboard gadget. Main features of the app -

• Create time reports in real time by grouping & categorizing data with aggregation
• Prepare your reports based on Project/Sprint/Issue Type/Assignees and various other filters
• Group your data to build more meaningful reports
• CSV Export
• Dashboard gadget
• Enter Time Spent for multiple issues from Time sheet screen. With Calendar view and Board view

Hi! 👋

There are a few ways you can quickly see what your team worked on today, without opening each task manually:

Option 1 — Use a JQL filter

You can create a simple JQL query to list all issues that were updated, commented, or had work logged today.
For example:

updated >= startOfDay() AND updated <= endOfDay() AND assignee in (currentUser(), teamMembers)

Or, if you want to focus only on work logs:

worklogDate = startOfDay() ORDER BY worklogDate DESC

You can save this as a filter and display it on a dashboard gadget (e.g. “Filter Results” or “Activity Stream”).

Option 2 — Jira Dashboard Gadgets

Create a Dashboard and add one or more of the following gadgets:

• Activity Stream – shows comments, transitions, and work logs from your entire team.
• Filter Results – shows all issues from your saved “today’s work” JQL filter.
• Worklog Report – if you’re using time tracking, this gives a perfect daily view.

Hi @Jira Admin !

Jira doesn't have a built-in way to see everything your team worked on today across multiple projects in one place. Opening each task or relying on the Activity Stream can be time-consuming.

As you are considering using the apps, I recommend you try Issue History for Jira from my team. It can give you a single table view of all updates related to work items across all of your projects. You can easily see who changed what, when, and where.

With the help of this app, you can do the following: 

✅ See all work item updates for a specific date (e.g., today).

✅ Filter by user, project, or field (status, assignee, comment, priority, log work, etc.).

✅ Save the generated report view for further usage.

✅ Export daily team activity reports to Excel or CSV.

Hope this will be helpful in your case!

@Jira Admin 

For a single pane of view for time tracking reports in Jira, especially with 50 developers and projects, a marketplace app is definitely the way to go. While Jira's native reporting can be a bit fragmented for this specific need, several apps excel at aggregating work logs.

Planyway time tracking report would be a great fit and this is how it addresses your needs:

Planyway is primarily a team and project planning app, but it includes robust time tracking and reporting features that can give you that "single pane of view."

• A clear workload view where you can see what each developer is assigned to and, crucially, what they've logged time against. This isn't just about assignments; it's about actual work logs.
• Time Tracking integrates directly with Jira's work logs. Developers log their time in Jira as usual (or directly through Planyway's interface), and Planyway pulls this data in.
• Time Tracking report gather all the data that you can further group by users, projects, epics, etc. to view tracked efforts, compare them with estimates and share by link, Excel, PDF.

Hi @Jira Admin 

As mentioned by @Jason U you can use a JQL filter and utilise a dashboard gadget.

If you're open to solutions from the Atlassian Marketplace, you may want to have a look at the app that my team and I are working on, JXL for Jira.

JXL is a full-fledged spreadsheet/table view for your Jira data that allows viewing, inline-editing, copy-pasting, sorting, and filtering by all your work items' fields, much like you’d do in e.g. Excel, Google Sheets, Smartsheet, or Airtable. It also comes with a long list of advanced features, including support for (configurable) work item hierarchies, work item grouping by any work item field(s), sum-ups, or conditional formatting.

This is how it looks in action:

As you can see above, you can easily sort and filter by the last comment, and also use it across JXL's advanced features, such as support for (configurable) issue hierarchies, issue grouping by any issue field(s), sum-ups, or conditional formatting.

Of course, you can also export your data to XSLX (Excel, Google Sheets) or CSV in just two clicks. 

Any questions just let me know,

Best,

Ivan

Hello @Jira Admin

It's a very common need for managers, especially with a large team spread across many projects. Getting that "single pane of view" for the day's work can be a challenge.

To answer your direct question, you can get a basic list using Jira's native features. The simplest way is to create a dashboard and add a "Filter Results" gadget.

This will give you a live-updating list of every issue that has been touched in any way today across all your projects.

However, as you've noticed, this is just a list. It doesn't really tell you what work was done or who did it in a summary format. For that kind of detailed report, a Marketplace app is usually the best way to go.

Full disclosure, I'm on the team that makes Timepiece - Time in Status for Jira, and it's designed to provide exactly this kind of insight.

Instead of just a list of issues, Timepiece can create a report that shows you exactly how much time each developer spent in statuses like 'In Progress' or 'In Review' today. You can see the total effort from your entire team, broken down by person and project, all in one report.

You can then put this report on a single Jira dashboard gadget, giving you the "single pane of view" you're looking for. It transforms the question from "Which tickets were updated?" to "How much productive work did my team complete today?"

You can check it out on the Atlassian Marketplace. Hope this helps you get a better view of your team's daily progress!

Cheers,
Birkan

Hi @Jira Admin ,

I can recommend the Time in Status app developed by my team.

For example, in addition to all the app's features, you can create a dashboard with the Assignee Time report and see your team members' workload for a selected time period.

In addition, the app will also help you retrospectively evaluate your team's workload to identify various trends, etc.

Hi @Jira Admin 👋, and welcome to the Community!

That’s a great question — getting a clear “single pane of view” across many developers and projects is a common challenge, especially when you want to see what everyone worked on today without jumping through dozens of issues.

If you’re open to trying a Marketplace app, I’d recommend checking out No-Code Apps Creator for Jira by SaaSJet. It’s an AI-powered app that lets you build custom reports or dashboards simply by describing what you need in the chat— no coding required.

For example, you could ask it to create a dashboard that shows:

• Each developer and the issues they updated or logged work on today

• Comments, worklogs, and time spent per issue

• Totals and filters by project or date

It might be exactly what you need to get that unified, daily “who did what” report.
