Anyone can create dashboards in Jira. What you are looking for is customized dashboard with specific information for upper management may be.

In that case you will have to create JQL queries and add them to the dashboard. If the gadgets that come out of the box are not meeting your needs then you will need a plugin.

Hi @Mario Amaya

As Fadoua points out, dashboards are a native feature of Jira. Navigate to the 'Dashboards' section in your top bar while in Jira, and start playing with them. However, it could get very tricky to visualize exactly what you require.

In case you're up for trying an app, my company develops Dashboard Hub for Jira, an add-on that includes the Epic Progress gadget. Add and configure it in seconds, this is how it looks like:

See it live in this externally shared Agile dashboard :)

Hope it helps, remember that you can always try Dashboard Hub free for 30 days. That should give your organization enough time to try tracking the progress of your epics with this powerful gadget!
