How to create a calendar to track daily new development tasks from various different projects?

[Shamara Torres]

How can I make daily tasks assigned to developers more visible in a team working on over 10 simultaneous projects? Is there a way to create a board, calendar, or another method to display added tasks for each developer without relying solely on notifications within Jira?

Hi Shamara - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

I would use a board versus a calendar for that. You can create a board with a board filter that includes all of the projects. It would look something like: Project in (ABC, DEF, 123, 456)

Did you try the board?

@John Funk Hey, could you guide me further on how to do that?

[John Funk]

Sure. Create the filter and save it. But sure to share with anyone else who will need to see the board. 

Then click on the Your work menu option in the top navigation bar and click on Boards.

Then choose View all boards.

Once there, click on the Create board button in the upper right. 

Choose Create a Kanban Board.

Choose the option for Board from an existing Saved Filter.

Give your board a name.

Select the saved filter you created earlier. 

Choose one of the projects that is included in your filter. You can only choose one, so choose the "main" one if there is one. 

Click Create Board. 

You are ready to go!

Hi @Shamara Torres ,

Welcome to the Atlassian Community. 

If you have a team working on more than 10 simultaneous projects and you don't want to rely solely on Jira notifications- I'd suggest exploring the Atlassian marketplace.

One app, I'd recommend is Visor. It syncs with Jira so you can visualize multiple Jira projects using JQL. You can alsouse custom color formatting for assignees, status, priority levels and more to create crystal clear team alignment for your team. (You wont have to worry about the team missing Jira notifications. 

Find Visor on the Atlassian Marketplace https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1226209/visor-spreadsheet-gantt-chart-?tab=overview&hosting=cloud

Let me know if this helps or if you have questions,

Michael

Hey Michael, I'll take a look soon, thanks for the help.

[Shamara Torres]

Are tasks created in Jira automatically displayed in the Visor? And is the Visor board displayed within the Jira platform? Regardless of the project? @michael y

Hi, @Shamara Torres. Welcome to the community 👋

Are you using Jira cloud (<something>.atlassian.net) of Data Center (<our jira>.mycompany.com)? The answer to that question will help the community give you a better answer.
