![]() ![]() Tick the box next to Summary and that should add a table to the canvas.īelieve it or not, we are almost there. Start with a table visual, then either use the search button on the right or scroll the Get Issues dataset until you find Summary. Click on the JIRA reports, then from the menu choose Edit report. Go to the reports page by navigating to My Workspaces → Reports. I’ll go with Route A because I like an organised reports page. Route A: You can build a new report and have it saved under the JIRA collection (i.e. They are identical, apart from where the report lives. To build the priority matrix we must create a report, and there are two ways to do this. What we want is to create a custom visual from a JIRA dataset and display it on our own custom dashboard. The default dashboard and reports from JIRA are a good starting point for getting a performance overview of a software development team. A report is one or more pages of visualisations (line charts, pie charts, tree maps and the like). Tiles are pinned to the dashboard from reports. Once connected, the JIRA connection comes pre-built with a dashboard and two drill-in report pages.Ī dashboard in Power BI is a single page that displays tiles. ![]() Connect through the Get Data → Services page. Time to design it in Power BI Pro CloudĬonnecting JIRA with Power BI requires the Pro Cloud version. ![]() Never fear though, JIRA allows for customized dashboards, so with my design skills I came up with this dashboard to see my all tasks at once.Ĥ. ![]() It worked for a while, until I found myself switching between boards. If you love using a tool then your opinion is biased. Why not use Trello or another tool, you ask? You weren’t paying attention to the screen-switching rant, were you? It turns out JIRA Core works surprisingly well for many areas in the business. A long time ago, I decided to start using JIRA Core as a to-do list tool for each of those areas, since I spend most of my time in JIRA. I also manage the sales pipeline, marketing, recruitment and do those admin tasks that everyone loves so much. I do a lot more than just architecture solutions for apps and writing stories and features for development teams. Now back to the screen-switching syndrome. (If you’re not familiar with JIRA, it’s a software development tool used by agile teams.) I like to use JIRA, and my team hates it, so we have agreed to use it for our development work only. As we are a software solutions business, JIRA is a great fit. For the other apps that are not there, there’s always the CSV or database connection route.įor us, JIRA from Atlassian is where we spend most of our time. Power BI Cloud and Power BI Desktop come built in, with connections to many cloud-based tools, including accounting, CRMs, newsletters, marketing tools and even social media channels. One reason to use Power BI is its ability to connect with third-party services. (Why I use Microsoft Power BI is a topic for another day – there’s more to it than just price.) I find that a good rule to follow as it beats all-or-nothing thinking. The trick is to focus on the 80% that is good, and find solutions for the remaining 20%. You always have to work within the limitations of any BI platform. Did I say that out loud?Īt the current price point, BI is highly accessible, and SMEs can finally join large businesses in driving their sales through data. What I like about Power BI more than other BI software such as Tableau, Qlikviews and BIRST, is the low barrier to entry – the Pro version costs only $10 a month and there is a free version too. I’ve been using Microsoft Power BI business intelligence software for a while. I hope you’ll be able to use it too.īut first, let me run you through my software situation. At IRONIC3D, my role is diverse, and every day I find myself switching screens constantly between a dozen so apps to get an answer to the simple question: Where are we at today? Once, I spend the rest of the week finding ways to stop me from switching screens! So I put my design skills to work and came up with a solution. ![]()
