View of multiple projects within JIRA

[Manasa Upadhya]

Hello all,

My team members are a part of multiple projects. They would like to have one view where all the tasks from all the projects they are part of is displayed.  

Additionally, I'm a program manager and I would like an overview of all the projects in a gantt chart with the start and end dates. 

Can you please let me know if these are possible on JIRA?

Hi Manasa,

I would suggest that to create a view of all of the tasks that users have assigned to them by creating a Jira Dashboard that would display this information.

To do this, I would advise creating a JQL search to see all tasks assigned to the current user that are not closed,  with some JQL similar to issuetype = Task and assignee = currentUser() and statusCategory not in (Done).

Note:  The JQL can be modified to show other issue types and issues in other statuses if needed. 

Once you have this JQL, you can save it as a filter and add it to a dashboard using a Filter Results Gadget.

This will create a view similar to the one below to allow users to see what tasks they have assigned to them.

As for Gant Charts, Jira does not provide these out-of-the-box , and I would suggest looking at a plugin that offers for Gant Charts which can be seen on the Atlassian Marketplace here.

I hope this information helps.

Regards,

Kristian

Hello Kristian, 

Thank you for the JQL Query. It worked and now my team is able to view all tasks from all projects they are assigned to. 

On the gantt chart, I will browse for the best plugin. However, I did want to check on how release planning can be best done on JIRA? Since there is no Gantt provided.
