How do I create a Dashboard that shows the overall Status of numerous sub-projects?

Question

I am a Sr Program Manager, overseeing the work of 15 or so smaller projects which are all related in one product.  I need to create a Dashboard for Sr Level Stakeholders which shows the overall status of the Product, without showing a Dashboard for the 15 sub-projects.  Is there a way to combine the sprint status of projects into one mega-status?

Hi @Mary.Morse

There's not really an option to have one mega-status.

If you're overseeing a large number of projects with multiple sprints / teams, I'd suggest checking out Jira Portfolio

This will allow you to show the overall scope and schedule of your work progressing in a roadmap view.

It would also allow you to have larger chunks of work as issue types which are parents of Epics - such as Initiatives or Features - which could have their own status set to show a level of progression and show scope / schedule of all subordinate issues.

Check it out and let us know if you have any questions :)
