How to show on dashboard the completion progress (%) of an epic?

[Justine Comtat]

Hello,

I need to create a dashboard that show the percentage of progress of an epic. (= the percentage of progress of child issues for each epic). 

Do you know how I can do? 

Many thanks for your help,

Any update here? Seems like a popular ask by customers including me! I've tried to use the Epic Sum Up widget and it is nto working right for me, none of the status bar shows up to roll up progress of tickets in an Epic.

It is not quite the same as what you see in the Epic details view, but on a Dashboard you could use either the Pie Chart or the Issue Statistics gadget with a filter that gets all the issues with 

"Epic Link" = <Epic Issue ID>

(that filter works for a Company Managed project)

and set the statistic on the gadget to be Status. That will sum up the issues in the Epic by status and show count and percentage.

@Somesh Sahoo, i saw this video and its incomplete, can you share the complete video? Also the audio is not proper.

Hi @Somesh Sahoo 

Thanks for this video. Could you please share the complete video.

To be more precise, I'd like to have: 
Epic #1 Envision: 63% progress
...

I'd like the same!  The % Done info is in Jira (as you've shown), how do we show it on a dashboard without having to pay for an add-on?  I'd expect % Done to be a column we could add to filter results at the very least.  I'd appreciate any advice on how to do in Jira.  Thank you.

Welcome to the community.

There is no native way in Jira to show the percent done for an epic in a dashboard. It can be done with apps, or there were the suggestions I put in my previous response.

You can find other posts on the topic by searching the internet for "jira cloud report percent done for epic"

Thank you for your response Trudy.

Best advice is to use a real project management tool :-)   Jira is a bug/issue tracker that has a ton of plugins make it sort of work like a project management tool.    But let's face facts the basics of showing status of two projects is beyond its capabilities.

Watch my video to see how can you calculate epic progress % using jira automation

Hi @Somesh Sahoo  Thank you for sharing your video. The audio is very low and hard to hear what you are saying. Can you please share an updated video with better audio? 

Thank you!

Alternatively, you can write a simple python script to get this done. I am successfully running this for my current project, it gives me a collective consolidated view on all EPICs with their percentage completion in one click

[jamie_slater]

can you provide an example? I would love this!

[Nikki DuBois]

Yes please provide those details! We are needing it. Do you pull that data into the dashboard to show?

[Daniel G_ Sinclair]

Yes, would like this without having to buy/implement an app. If we could subquery in JQL, that would solve many similar problems.

Hi @Justine Comtat 

For a ready made solution, to visualize your Epic hierarchies and track sum up at each level, you can try out our add-on Agile Tools.

Key features of the app are :

1) Links/Portfolio/Advanced Roadmaps Hierarchy :- View/Manage roll up for hierarchy (up to 10 levels), based on your Portfolio/Advanced Roadmaps/Issue Links parent child relationship.

2) Epic Hierarchy :- View/Manage roll up for standard Jira hierarchy. Epic -> User Story -> Subtask

3) Time in Status :- More than 7 types of Time in Status reports to track your issues.

4) Worklogs Report :- Track time spent by resources with multiple filters / category / grouping features

5) Timesheet :- View/Enter your time spent for multiple days

It think the Epic Sump Up app will be able to do this for you:
