Portfolio Management for big enterprise

Question

We work for a company where we get multiple projects from multiple countries with no relation to each other. They can not be combined together a part of single portfolio.

Do we have any option to manage multiple portfolio in JIRA with single source of truth (dashboard )

Deepak:

Portfolio for JIRA may be your best option; however, if you don't have Portfolio creating a dashboard or Kanban board can help you communicate project status as well. To help my organization track various projects, I created a Kanban board which is referred to as the Management Board. The board provides a high level overview of most in-progress projects. Epics on the board represent approved projects and provide an additional lens that assists the executive team make strategic decisions.

You can accomplish this by building a filter that pulls in the projects in question. To help eliminate noise the board only reports the status of epics - monitoring the stories and sub-tasks of each epic can increase confusion.

Example of filter: project in ("Project A", "Project B", "Project C", "Project D") and issuetype = Epic

You can also create a dashboard and use the Projects gadget to pull projects into the dashboard.

Hi Danyal,

Thank you for response. We have a situation , where we have to manage multiple projects from different sources and its tough to have many dashboard for each project and hence the question.

We need a place where we can track all projects and share status with senior management.

yes, but that is a bad idea. You need multiple dashboards. Who will be managing with ulta-dashboard. Certainly no men canhandle that much infos frommulziple sources.
