How to calculate the progress of a project

Question

Hi,

We have a JIRA project containing 17 project-tasks.

Each project-task have a field showing this task completion-percentage (not changeable) where all the project-task together sum up to 100%.

I want to sum those fields of each project-task with a status 'DONE' in order to get the 'main' project progress.

I want ALL projects to be presented in a dashboard, showing some important field, among them the 'progress' field of the project (completer project-tasks).

I'm very new to JIRA, and read few similar requests here, but so far wasn't able to create what I needed.

Would appreciate your help :)

Hi,

I reviewed the links you shared, but I couldn't find any reference to what I'm looking for.

The idea is that I have the same filed "progress" on each project-task with some static field, and the "progress" field on the main project-jira.

I want this field to be automatically populated with the sum of the progress fields of each "done" project-tasks.

Hi @Almog Fridman,

Welcome to community.

* You can create filters with JQL: https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirasoftwarecloud/advanced-searching-764478330.html
* Than create new dashboard and add gadgets by using previous filters; https://confluence.atlassian.com/servicedeskcloud/configuring-dashboards-780867995.html

Also please take a look at: https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirasoftwarecloud/reporting-764478415.html

You can use "Filter Results" gadget to display tasks with important fields such as assignee, status etc.
