Hi @Lisa , The new widget seems promising. Does this widget only apply to one project overview? We currently use multiple projects to see the overall development activity. Will there be an option to include multiple projects or all projects?
What is the plan and status for the JIRA Roadmap widget? Is there a plan to have a similar feature for tracking the release plans/schedules?
Currently, the summary view feature is designed for a single project overview. However, if you're on a premium license, you can use the Plans feature, which allows you to view summary information across multiple projects.
The Jira Roadmap widget operates independently from the summary view in projects. I'd recommend keeping an eye on thecommunity post for future announcements or updates related to this.
I do not see this as helpful for our Jira projects but only adding confusion. Our Jira projects are not nature terminal, they are a stream of continuous on-going efforts and contain multiple pockets of work in which a summary view for each is needed. We spend countless hours trying to create that on a continous basis since this application does not do that. A summary view our our Jira project in-its-self, provides zero value.
If you can filter the data and create multiple summary views, one for each of those pockets of work, THAT would be valuable.
Hi, is it possible for us to apply 'filters' to the summary view? We have 4 squads all working on the same Jira project, and we run out ceremonies independently. So getting the full project view isn't much good for us, we'd need to apply a filter on 'Team'.
Hi Lisa, I'm exploring this and noticed that the 4 summary widgets are pre-set to the past 7 days (I agree, ability to filter on specific dates would help). That said, the status overview and other breakdowns do not specify any date range the data is applicable for or how they are pulled. I tried digging into the list views, but I'm not certain how this logic is applied and if it is uniform across everything. Can you please clarify? FWIW, having this "past x days" or something would be very helpful on all widgets.
This a nice modernization over the older summary screen, and provides a good place to start for newer teams. Yet I would have preferred that Atlassian had invested in improving the existing dashboards features prior to this feature. As it stands, this re-design of the summary screen provides zero value and just causes confusion due to how we are using Jira. I had to disable it in our main project.
I can't think of a use-case in my 20 years of using the product where a Custom Dashboard hasn't been needed over an OOTB summary screen. Yet, dashboards and gadgets seem to be abandoned when it comes to investment. Having recently used ServiceNow, and Monday.com, Jira's dashboarding features are starting to look like 2000 era software that hasn't kept up to date with its peers.
It looks like we can set a date range other than 7 days from what I can see here but I don't seem to be able to find the path described to achieve it, possibly the delay in rollout to all instances?
Moved our IT Team from a JS project to a JWM Project to really get in there and kick the tires. We discovered these metrics there and really liked them. Unfortunately we jumped backed into JS due to the fact that it's under-pinnings are better off for Sprints and so on. So too see these metrics now available in JS is fantastic - hope they cross over to JSM as well.
That said, I have a few clients who are not seeing this as of now. I know it's rolling but are there any restrictions in terms of licensing where this would not be seen?
BTW - love the velocity of features coming out of Atlassian! Really an exciting time to be an admin as well as any IT leader who can really use more of JIRA and Confluence to bring valuable metrics into the room!
@Lisa - Question regarding the "Status overview" window on the Summary page. The Status values listed are not in line with the Status values from the Workflow for the project. For example "Open" is listed on the Pie Chart but is not available in the project. Where does this "widget" pull the Status values from?
It would be really useful to be able to see this at Epic level because these often sit across multiple teams, giving a great view of the bigger pieces of value flowing through the system...
