How can I utilize JIRA charts for weekly Executive Summary ?

Question

I need help to generate report from JIRA to share with the executives to get the correct status of the project, I tried multiple reports like velocity, sprint and burndown report, but nothing helping much.

My ask is to have a timeline view of how project has progressed over time and combined view of EPICs status. I tried Epic Summary, but that for that summary I need to select each Epic at a time, I have almost 50+ Epics for my project, so can I get a Capability wise progress graph along with the status for all the Epics under that category under the same graph ?

Hi, @Dheera Chaturvedi

Based on my experience, the executives want to examine the big picture of the project's progress, focusing on critical Epics and Features.

To provide Epic progress, you have to assess the progress of the issues inside. The best way is to count completed story points every sprint (or week, if that's your case).

We created two apps that can assist you with this task:

* Agile Reports and Gadgets - for scaled enterprises (Scrum, Kanban, SAFe, Less, SoS).
* Agile Velocity Chart - for smaller companies with only Scrum teams.

Both of apps give you ability to have Sprint Metrics broken down by any meaningful field you have, especially by Projects and Epics:

So that you can share the progress of your projects and epics with your executives in terms of completed work (and not only):

Is it what you are looking for?

Hi @Dheera Chaturvedi,

My advice is to create a dashboard in Jira with all the necessary gadgets in-place and then share it with the executives. Dashboards are highly customizeble comparing with reports and have the advantage that you will have everything centralized in one-single page.

Our Great Gadgets app offers all the gadgets you need for creating such dashboards.

Have a look over these articles to see the gadgets that it offers:

For high level epic status, very helpful will be the Pivot Table & Pivot Chart gadget, which shows epics completion.
