Dashboard that displays all projects and the status of all items in each project in a pie or bar

Corey Yovich

I'm trying to create a landing page in the dashboards section where it can give me an "at glance" listing of all active  projects and include a pie or bar chart of the status of all items associated with those individual projects.

It would be useful if the members of my team and quickly see which projects are falling behind, and which projects are near completion, etc...

It would be perfect if I could change the "Projects" gadget field of "Open Issues (by priority)" to instead be "issues by status" but there does not appear to be good way to do so.

Thanks in advance for any guidance or suggestions!

Hi @Corey Yovich

Not sure of a method to do this using a pie or bar chart, unless you create one per project based on status!

For a simple method, you could do as follows:

1. Search for all relevant issues for your dashboard. If this is all issues in Jira, search for "ORDER BY created DESC"
2. Press Save and provide a name to create a filter
3. On your dashboard, add the gadget "Two Dimensional Filter Statistics"
4. Add your filter into the field "Saved Filter"
5. On the X-Axis place Status, on the Y-Axis Project
6. Choose from the other options based on what you prefer and click Save

^ This will give you a table of each project, the number of issues in each status and thus, current progress. 

This gets a little more complex looking if you have too much variance in your workflows between issue types. In that instance I'd advise cutting it down to delivery issue types in the filter from step 1.
