Best Report for Project Managers

Question

Hi,

We are using Jira for logging our original estimates and tempo plug in for logging time spent on the tasks. We have tried to use the time tracking report to generate a project status report (in terms of if we are on track to complete tasks within the sprint). However this looks incredibly confusing.

Can anyone suggest some good reports / plug ins for Project Managers to obtain this information if our dev teams are using Jira for logging original estimates and tempo plug in for logging time spent on the tasks?

I'd be keen to know what works well for other PMs out there.

Thanks in advance.

Hi @Jodie_Parsons

Currently, Jira Cloud does not have a native method to achieve this result. You can achieve it by using a plugin Time in Status for Jira Cloud by SaaSJet. This add-on saves the data about each status duration.

Also, you can get the information about the average time in status, assignee time, status entrance date, time in status per date, status count and transition count.

Safe to say, this add-on is a good way to get a helicopter view, find out bottlenecks and unproductive delays in your processes.

Moreover, you can analyze the report up close with all the intrinsic data using exported XLS or CSV files. Also, you can view all reports as charts (Pie, Bar and Area Charts) and export them too (as PNG, JPEG or PDF files).

Hi Jodie,

I am a PMP certified project manager and made this addon for reporting: Hours reports

Helps with the time reports, costs, and allows for grouping in several different ways.

I hope you like it
