More overview for Jira epics - from complex to simple
What would it be like to see the progress of your projects in Jira at a glance, without having to fight your way through numerous custom fields and endless task lists or issues? It's simple: faster and, most importantly, more efficient. From budget planning to project tracking, you as the manager are pulling all the strings. With the right tool, you can get an improved overview at all levels - and coordinate your team better at the same time.
The challenges in project management
As a project manager, you know that you need to keep an overview, manage your team effectively and still chalk up profits. The solution for all three pillars lies in Jira epics. They form the backbone of your project structure in Jira, as large goals or work packages. However, despite the structure provided by epics, which unite many tasks under one roof, the true progress of a project can often remain unclear. Too often you have to dive into each individual issue to determine the overall progress. A time-consuming and error-prone task. There are several solutions for a faster evaluation. But how far the path to the ideal overview has to be is up to you.
Automation and custom fields don't always help
Automations are a common approach to improving the project overview. You can aggregate certain values such as time data from an epic and the associated issues and summarize them in a custom field. However, there are two main problems with this approach: Firstly, such automations are sometimes complex to set up. Secondly, Atlassian has recently introduced limits for automations for Jira, which further restricts the possibilities.

Another option for more project overview in Jira is the use of scripted fields using ScriptRunner or other apps. However, this extension requires scripting and becomes more complicated as the size of the Jira instance increases. The same also applies to a solution using JQL (Jira Query Language). And even if you are familiar with scripting in Jira or JQL, simply save yourself the effort and rely on a solution that’s actually efficient: Epic Sum Up.
