Paradise by the Dashboard Light

Disclaimers:

• You’ll need Jira Admin permissions.
• I work at Appfire, so I’ll be using Appfire apps In this article.

Did someone say paradise by the dashboard lights?

Stop right there!

I gotta know right now!

Before we go any further!        

No, not the Meatloaf song silly. Although, sorry/not sorry for embedding that song in your head for the rest of the day.

I am talking about the awesomeness of Dashboard Hub Pro for Jira (and for Confluence, Bitbucket, and monday.com). So I gotta know.

Are you gonna try Dashboard Hub Pro!?

Dashboard Hub Pro gives organizations a central, single reference point for pulling together metrics that teams need for reporting and/or collaborating.

Templates

Need help getting your dashboard started? We got you covered with templates for some of the most popular dashboards including ITSM, Agile, and DevOps. Templates come with a set of included gadgets for the respective dashboard type to give you quick start. Gadgets can easily be configured, added, moved, or deleted.

Gadgets

Speaking of gadgets, Dashboard Hub Pro has a lot of those to help you spin up a dashboard with just about any metric you need.

• Custom JQL reports — check
• Sprint burn down gadget — Roger that
• Air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow (No, we don’t have that gadget. I’m just seeing how long it takes the product team to see that feature request I submitted about it. ) Incidentally, air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow is roughly 20.1 miles per hour, just in case you ever wind up on the Bridge of Death.

But seriously Dashboard Hub Pro has a ton of gadgets and more coming down the pipe.

Datasources

Your organization might need to bring in metrics outside of Jira. Maybe you have data from two or three Jira instances you need displayed on one dashboard. Maybe you want to pull in some Confluence info to a Jira dashboard. Dashboard Hub Pro makes it simple to pull in these metrics with easy integrations for multiple datasources.

Below are all the current datasources available, but there are more integrations coming soon.

Sharing is caring right?

Well, my favorite feature of Dashboard Hub Pro is the ability to share a dashboard with non-Jira users. As in they don’t need to log into Jira to see your dashboard masterpiece. You can provide them with a public URL they can access from any browser. So if your customers or senior leaders want the scoop, you have them covered.

Dashboard Hub Pro was intentionally built outside of the built-in Jira dashboard functionality. (We do have a gadget that you can embed into a native Jira dashboard.) But the power of this architecture is that you can easily share dashboards with non-Jira users and integrate easily with other datasources.

So, as you can tell, I am a big fan of our Dashboard Hub Pro app.

Give it a go with the 30-day free trial and show me your dashboard creations!

Recap

• Organizations like to have a central reporting tool.
• Dashboard Hub Pro gives you multiple templates, gadgets, and datasources to make creating a dashboard quick and easy.
• Dashboard Hub Pro enables you to share dashboards with non-Jira users.
• I actually remember Star Wars coming out in 1977, so yes I am old.

Let me know if you have any questions!
