List of Assignees

Ed Kelly

For my daily scrum, I'd like to create a board with all of the active iteration user stories and tasks. I need a filter so I can pick from a list only the user stories and tasks assigned to the person who's turn it is to give their daily update.

How do I create such a filter?

Jira 7.3.3

Hi @Ed Kelly

What problem are you trying to solve?

When I work with physically present teams that rely on bringing the Jira board up on a screen throughout the Daily Scrum, it can be a smell that the team is working on too much stuff at one time...so they become dependent upon Jira as a reminder.

Consider instead, when team members encourage each other to update the board as they work, and only bring up the board during the scrum to address a specific things like reviewing burn/flow progress, just-in-time refinement, etc.

Best regards,

Bill

Hi @Ed Kelly

I'm not sure whether you're using the cloud or server version.

For the cloud version, by default the board has a filter for each person, as shown below. Clicking on each person's avatar filters the board and only shows their items. It's a few years since I last used the server version, but I'm sure they have something similar

Hi there, To add to Warren's comment, you may have a quick filter or you may be able to create one to filter your own issues by using the query: assignee = currentUser()

Quick filters are created in the board configuration:

Thanks for the quick reply Warren!

I don't see the search box or a row of icons on my board. Am I missing a configuration setting?

From the "About Jira", I think we're using the server version. Does that matter?

Ed Kelly

Thanks Carlos!

The problem with "assignee = currentUser()" is that it will only show my items (or whoever is logged on). I'm sharing my screen with the whole team, so need to move through each person. If I have to, I'll create a filter for each person, but that seems primitive.

Thanks, Bill.

The team is large and not co-located. Also, people may need to visually see a user story to be aware of what's being updated.; a US number alone may not click. I would even argue that not seeing the board is an easy way to hide the workload someone has.

I see the scrum board as another information radiator.

Bill Sheboy

Thanks, Ed... And I agree on the info radiator issue. (That's why I like physical boards... :^)

With the remote team, try what Warren suggests with the people selection using the icons, or try swimlanes by assignee and hide/show as needed.

Best regards,

Bill

For whatever reason, I don't see any avatars at the top of the board. Maybe because we use the server version. I'm doing some searching, but so far nothing regarding "missing avatars".

Thanks!
