LinkedIssues Report by Type (Blocked by, Blocks)

Question

I am running multiple sprints at the same time - one for each team. Tasks in each sprint may block or be blocked by Tasks in a different sprint.

For example, Backend has a task that must be completed before FrontEnd can start their task.

The issues are linked in JIRA with the FrontEnd blocked by BackendI need to create a report that shows me all the issues in a Sprint that block any other issues.

I want to know the tickets and the originalEstimate value for those tickets in the Sprint that are blocking others. This tells me how many hours of work need to be completed in the Sprint to clear up the blocks of other teams

I need a second report that shows me all the tickets in a Sprint that are blocked by other teams and the amount of hours that will need to be completed once the block is removed.

This allows me to estimate the amount of hours of work that will need to be done once the blocks are removed.

Report 1 allows me to track my risks for each team blocking the progress of others

Report 2 allows me to track my risks for each team that are blocked to get their work done before the end of the Sprint once they are unblocked.

Hi @Daniel Ulloa

As an alternative solution, to visualize your Issue Links hierarchies and track sum up at each level, you can try out our add-on Agile Tools.

The app shows time spent summed up at Epic level.

Agile Tools - Epic Tree, Links Tree and Time in Status

Key features of the app are :

1) Links/Portfolio/Advanced Roadmaps Hierarchy :- View/Manage roll up for hierarchy (up to 10 levels), based on your Portfolio/Advanced Roadmaps/Issue Links parent child relationship.

2) Epic Hierarchy :- View/Manage roll up for standard Jira hierarchy. Epic -> User Story -> Subtask

3) Time in Status :- More than 7 types of Time in Status reports to track your issues.

4) Worklogs Report :- Track time spent by resources with multiple filters / category / grouping features

5) Timesheet :- View/Enter your time spent for multiple days

Thanks

Rahul

Hello Daniel,

That sounds like something you can easily achieve with Pivot Report we develop. You can create custom hierarchies based on issue links to get the overview you need:

You can try it on your own here.

In case you have any questions about the app, please let me know.
