What is the best tool/method of reporting metrics across multiple projects?

Question

We just switched to Jira Cloud and we need to provide a dashboard or report that aggregates basic metrics across projects.  We would need to show things like Velocity and Burndown for each project as well as an overall portfolio health based on these metrics.

Any suggestions are much appreciated.

@Kyle Howard  sure welcome to the community, its a friendly community and yous would receive help from a lot of people dont hesitate to reach out any time.

Coming back to the answer you can use the in operator to include multiple projects in the search something like this

project in (Apple, Samsung, Nokia)

the above JQL will return you the list of tickets from all the three projects Apple, Samsung and Nokia.

Here is a link for JQL that can get you started - https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/guides/expand-jira/jql#jql-syntax

Thanks for the suggestion.  As you can tell, I'm fairly new to Jira.  How do I set up a filter that includes multiple projects.  It seems to only allow me to choose one at a time.

@Kyle Howard You could create a Agile board with a filter spanning across all the projects that would give you the reports based on the filter in the board so you would have all the projects covered in the reports.

Hope this helps!
