how do i get consolidated view of multiple projects run in parallel?

[Caryn Yeoh]

e.g.  i have project 1 to project 5 customer projects that are run concurrently, how do i get high level view on these 5 projects in 1 page?

Hi @Caryn Yeoh, on Standard you have a few native options for this.

The most direct one is a cross-project board. Create a saved filter with JQL like project in (PROJ1, PROJ2, PROJ3, PROJ4, PROJ5) AND status != Done, then create a new board from that filter. You get a single Kanban or Scrum view across all five projects. In board settings you can map columns so the statuses line up. Doc: Create a board based on filters

For a more summary-level view, create a dashboard and add gadgets (Filter Results, Pie Chart, Two Dimensional Filter Statistics) all pointing at the same cross-project filter. That gives you the "one page, five projects" overview without listing every single ticket.

If what you actually need is a timeline or Gantt-style view across projects, that lives in Plans, which is Premium only. On Standard the board + dashboard combo is the ceiling for native tooling.

Hello @Caryn Yeoh 

Jira Plans include this natively, but they require a Premium license.

On Jira Standard, the best workaround is to use a shared JQL filter to track the five projects, for example:

`project in (PROJ1, PROJ2, PROJ3, PROJ4, PROJ5)`

You can then use that filter in dashboards, boards, gadgets, or reports depending on what kind of consolidated view you need.

You can use this filter in two ways depending on what you need:

For reporting: Build a global Dashboard using gadgets like Two-Dimensional Filter Statistics (set to Project vs. Status) and Filter Results to quickly overview portfolio health and blockers.

For active management: Create a new Kanban or Scrum board using that saved filter as the source. In the board settings, set Swimlanes to "Projects" so each stream stays cleanly separated on a single screen.

Use the dashboard for stakeholder status updates and the cross-project board for daily task coordination.

Best,
