I’m looking for a way to monitor how much work each team member has completed in our JIRA project. I need to see this information organized by person, timeline, and specific tasks they worked on.
Basically I want to create some kind of report that shows me what John did last week, what Sarah accomplished this month, and which tickets each developer finished. This would help me understand who is working on what and track productivity across the team.
Is there a built-in feature or dashboard in JIRA that can give me this breakdown? I’ve been manually checking each person’s activity but that takes forever when you have a bigger team. Any suggestions on how to set this up would be really helpful.
The Issue Navigator with JQL queries has been a game changer for tracking our team. I create saved filters like assignee = "john.doe" AND resolved >= -7d to see what John finished last week, or assignee = "sarah.smith" AND created >= -30d for Sarah’s monthly work. Here’s what works best: set up a custom dashboard with multiple filter gadgets showing different team members’ completed work across various timeframes. Make sure your workflow transitions are consistent - tickets should move through statuses like “In Progress” to “Done” the same way every time. This gives you solid historical data without manually checking activity, and you can export everything to spreadsheets for analysis or management reports.
For effectively tracking individual developer progress in JIRA, the Workload Pie Chart report is highly beneficial. It allows you to filter tasks by assignee and specific date ranges, showcasing both the total story points and task counts per developer. This gives a clear picture of their contributions. I also suggest setting up custom dashboards utilizing ‘Assigned to Me’ and ‘Activity Stream’ gadgets tailored for individual developers, as the Activity Stream provides real-time insights without needing to sift through tickets manually. Additionally, ensure your team logs their hours consistently in JIRA to enhance the accuracy of Time Tracking reports, enabling better assessment of productivity and management of workloads.
