How can I make a pie chart for each item owner that shows their progress through their items?

Question

Hi,

I am looking for a better way to setup a dashboard of individual pie charts that show each item owner's progress through their assigned items, so in progress, done, not started, etc.

I managed to get what I've described going by creating a filter for each person and then using that filter on the pie chart and showing status on the pie chart.

But I was wondering if there is a better/more efficient way of achieving this or something that reflects item owner progress in a similar way.

Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi @George Mazurkiewicz 👋
Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

You're on the right track using individual filters + pie charts per person! It works, but as you’ve noticed — it can get repetitive and hard to scale as your team grows.

Here are a few alternatives that might simplify things:

✅ 1. Use a “Two-Dimensional Filter Statistics” Gadget

Create one filter for all relevant items (e.g. by project, label, sprint).

Use the gadget with:

X-axis: Assignee (or Item Owner)

Y-axis: Status This gives you one compact table that breaks down item statuses by owner — much easier to read than multiple pie charts!

📊 2. Try Time in Status

If you’d like more advanced visuals and metrics (including time spent in statuses or better team dashboards), Time In Status could be helpful. With it, you can:

Build pivot tables or pie charts grouped by Assignee and Status

Track progress visually and export reports (PDF, XLSX)

Schedule reports or embed them as dashboard gadgets

1. The usual Time in Status report. It shows you how long tasks were in each of the workflow statuses.

2. The Assignee time report will notify you of how much time each Assignee spent on each task.

3. Also you can see how long a task was in progress on each Assignee or how long it was Unassigned in Dashboard

4. For more in-dept analysing try out Pivot view table. We can evaluate how much the time in the In Progress status has changed depending on the number of tasks, and we can also “dive deeper” and see which tasks have spent a lot of time.

5. For Scrum teams we are also offering Sprint Report by Time in Status

Add-on developed by my team.

Let me know which direction you'd like to explore and I can guide you through setup 😊

Hey @George Mazurkiewicz and welcome to Atlassian Community.

I'm not sure if the answers provided by @Anshul Arora and @Danut M _StonikByte_ solved this for you (if so give them their kudos!) but you should also take a look at our app Visor, which has an easy to use dashboard view, and a a bi-directional integration with Jira.

You can use it to create multiple pie charts each showing the number of items by status for that assignee (see the basic examples in the images below). You can also add bar charts, number cards, text notes etc. to the same dashboard view.

While our dashboard view isn't as complex as adding lots of specific gadgets, it's very flexible and easy to use. It sounds like Visor's dashboard would be a neater solution for what you're trying to achieve here, and should certainly speed the setup of your reports.

Our app is free to try, access it and read our reviews in the Atlassian Marketplace:

Hope that helps!

Hi @George Mazurkiewicz,

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

A solution is the Pie Chart gadget of Jira, but as you said you will need a gadget and a filter for each assignee, which is not ideal. You could eventually try the Two Dimensional Filter Statistics gadget of Jira, configured by Assignee and Status, but  this will display a table, not a pie chart.

If you want something better, my advice is to search for a plugin on Atlassian Marketplace.

In case you want to use a plugin, our Great Gadgets app offers a Pivot Table & Pivot Chart gadget that allows you to display the progress of each item owner by number of tasks, percentage completion, sum of story point, etc and display the result  in form of table, heat-map table, or charts of various types including multiple pie chart, as in these examples.

To obtain a chart like that, the gadget should be configured like this:
