Most active user per project

Question

Hi everybody,

There is statistics in each JIRA project, called "This week most active". It just displays users' avatars without any specifics. Is there a way to quantify users' activity in a project, without parsing activity logs, etc.? For example... What user has most updates, comments, or any other changes in a specific project? Or something like that. I'd appreciate any assistance.

Hi @Gregory Kremer

there are Apps available from Marketplace which promise be capable of providing this kind of insight - some of them are indeed for Cloud.

Requirements like your current one remind me of the intention a client had in the past for seeing "most active users" statistics - it is very similar.
Not so much the technical aspects were the road blocker but more the legal side. Depending on where your teams sit and which industrial sector you are belonging to the in-depth information you are asking for is probably restricted by some kind of regulation (not directly prohibited but we encountered the fact that employees would have to sign an agreement - that would have been too much effort, we had to neglect the whole idea).

Regards,
Daniel

Well, thank you for your reply. Frankly, I've expected more. Why would Atlassian provide the option to view "This week most active" without any details? There could be someone, who monitors a project, like an issue watcher, that viewed this issue several times per day, which made him "most active" without adding anything useful. Right? But having him listed as being "active", without knowing what he actually did, provides most useless information. We would have been better off not having this option at all.
