Learning Session Overview

🖐️ Welcome to this learning session. During this workshop, we’ll build a custom Jira dashboard using Studio from start to finish.

This is just one example of what Forge makes possible. Imagine what you could build next.

What you'll build

A Jira dashboard tailored to a specific space, featuring:

A 2D stacked bar chart showing team workload distribution
A panel of unassigned work items by priority for quick triage

What you'll learn

By the end of this workshop, you will be able to:

Define clear app specs for your dashboard, using annotations and an image to show Rovo what you want.
Build a custom Jira dashboard using Forge, with data visualizations powered by live space data.
Iterate on your app by refining your specs and dashboard based on what you learn.
Publish the app to a test site, with the ability to restore a previous version as needed.
Replicate the end-to-end flow from idea → Forge app → live dashboard.
