I’m looking for guidance on how to generate a weekly report in Jira that counts the number of issues resolved weekly, regardless of when they were created. My goal is to have a chart that reflects the amount of tickets closed each week. For instance, if 15 tickets are resolved this week, it should be recorded in the chart, even if those tickets were originally opened months ago. The date of creation is not important for this report. Has anyone tackled something like this? I’d appreciate any advice on how to go about setting this up, as I’ve been exploring reporting functionalities but am struggling to find the right method to categorize and filter the information.
I’ve done this before - focus on the Resolution Date field. Use JQL like ‘resolved >= “2024-01-01” AND resolved <= “2024-12-31”’ and group by resolution date in weekly chunks. The Control Chart gadget works great since it’s built for resolution patterns over time. If you need custom weekly grouping, save the filter and dump it into Excel. I run these every Monday morning to catch the previous week’s closures. Key thing: ignore Created dates completely and build everything around when tickets actually got resolved.
I’ve hit this same wall with multiple teams. Manual JQL queries and dashboard gadgets turn into a weekly babysitting job.
Here’s what actually worked: I automated everything. Set up a workflow that runs Monday mornings, grabs all resolved tickets from the past week via Jira’s API, drops the count into a Google Sheet, and emails stakeholders a summary.
The automation handles date filtering on its own. No more updating JQL queries or manual exports. You get historical tracking without juggling saved filters.
I configured it to break down resolutions by priority, assignee, or project when needed. Five minutes to set up, then it runs itself.
Use an automation platform that plugs straight into Jira’s API and handles weekly scheduling. Way cleaner than fighting with Jira’s reporting tools.

so you gotta look at the resolution date field! try using a filter like resolved >= ‘-7d’ for the past week, and then add a pie chart gadget to show the resolutions grouped by week. there’s also a gadget for ‘recently resolved issues’ that might be better. just keep it simple, jira’s reporting is pretty straightforward if you focus on the resolution, not when they were created.
For weekly resolution tracking in Jira, use this JQL filter: “resolved >= startOfWeek() AND resolved < startOfWeek(1w)”. This grabs all issues resolved this week, no matter when they were created. Add the “Created vs Resolved Chart” gadget to your dashboard - it’s perfect for tracking just resolved tickets weekly. Save different filter versions for various time ranges so you can analyze historical data. Just make sure your Jira admin has enabled the dashboard gadgets you need.
Resolution Date field works great, but the built-in gadgets are pretty limiting for weekly trends. I had better luck with a custom dashboard using the “Two Dimensional Filter Statistics” gadget. Set your JQL to filter by resolution date ranges, then configure it with resolution date on one axis and count on the other. You can switch the time buckets to weekly intervals. Way more control over the visualization than standard charts. Also set up saved filters for different periods - last 4 weeks, last quarter, whatever you need. The export feature is clutch when management wants the numbers in their own format.
