I’m trying to figure out if there’s a way to see the total number of hours I’ve logged in Jira. Right now, I can only see work logs for specific stories or subtasks. What I’m really looking for is a way to view the total amount of work logged by each developer.
It would be great if there was some kind of feature that shows a breakdown of work logged for each day. This would make it easier to track individual productivity and time management.
Also, I’m wondering if it’s possible to generate a burndown chart for each developer. That would be super helpful for visualizing progress and workload over time.
Does anyone know if Jira has these capabilities or if there are any plugins or workarounds to get this kind of information? I’d really appreciate any tips or suggestions!
ya, jira can do that! go to reports section and look for ‘workload’ or ‘time tracking’ reports. you can filter by user and date range to see total hours logged. some addons like tempo timesheets give even more detailed breakdowns. hope that helps!
I’ve been using Jira for project management for years, and tracking developer hours is definitely possible. While the built-in reports are a good starting point, I’ve found that custom JQL queries combined with gadgets on a dashboard give the most flexibility.
For individual developer tracking, I created a dashboard with time spent gadgets for each team member. This gives a quick overview of hours logged per day/week. You can also export this data to Excel for further analysis.
One caveat: make sure your team is consistently logging time for accuracy. We implemented a policy of daily time logging to ensure our reports were meaningful.
As for burndown charts per developer, that’s trickier out-of-the-box. We ended up using a third-party add-on called ‘Advanced Roadmaps for Jira’ which offered more granular reporting options. It was an extra cost, but worth it for the insights it provided into individual and team productivity.
As someone who’s worked extensively with Jira, I can confirm that tracking individual developer hours is indeed possible. The ‘Time Tracking’ feature in Jira is your best friend here. Navigate to the ‘Reports’ section and look for the ‘Time Tracking’ report. You can customize this report to show total hours logged by each developer over any specified period.
For a more visual representation, consider creating a custom dashboard with time-tracking gadgets. This allows you to see at a glance how many hours each team member has logged daily or weekly.
Regarding burndown charts for individual developers, while not a standard feature, you can achieve this using the ‘Advanced Roadmaps for Jira’ add-on. It’s an investment, but it provides detailed insights into individual productivity and workload over time.
Remember, the accuracy of these reports depends on consistent time logging by your team. Implementing a daily time-logging policy can significantly improve the reliability of your data.
