Create overview about issues planned for development and let people vote on features

Question

Hello,

we have a project which we use for development of a software. We have key users from all around the company who have access to this project and can see all issues, participate actively and vote on issues.

However, i would like to create a separate overview (dashboard? Project? Filter?) to for example display only issues from a certain version.

This should be available to other users.

One suggestion is to enable access to the main project for everybody but i dont want to have hundreds of users in my project + i dont want them to see everything, inlcuding bugs, stories and so on.

Target is to display many users what features are considered to be developed in the future and let them vote so they can influence what features shall be prioritized for development

Hello Ravi,

thanks a lot for your reply!

Yes i think the filter query is good, i will also check out the security scheme.

Hoever, this still means for users to have access i would need to add them manually, right?

There is no way to make this public or e.g. by sharing a link to all of our JIRA users and who wants to access it can access it without further customization.

Do you or someone else have an answer regarding this point?

Hi @David Dvorak

I think there are two parts.

For reporting you can create a simple dashboard to display filter results where your source filter can be based on a JQL like the one below.

issuetype = "New Feature" ORDER BY votes desc

Add more sub query to narrow down results to issues selected for development.

For hiding other issue types, you can use "Security Scheme" in your Jira project. This can work as long as those users who need access are in a separate groups which you can use in your scheme.

I hope it helps.
