Use cases — who uses Dashboards Rich Filters, and how

Track program health across 8 projects in one screen

You manage a portfolio of 8 in-flight Jira projects and you need a single dashboard that answers “is anything on fire today?” without opening eight tabs.

Set-up

1. Add Dashboards Rich Filters to your PMO dashboard.
2. In the Project filter, select all 8 projects.
3. Look at the Program Health Score KPI (composite of status, overdue ratio and blocked ratio).
4. Use the Milestones Timeline to see which releases shift this quarter.
5. Use the Ishikawa risk diagram at the end of every weekly PMO review.

What you avoid: manually exporting issue lists to spreadsheets every Monday.

Sprint burndown and capacity at a glance

You are running three squads in parallel and you need to spot scope creep and capacity overload before retros happen.

Set-up

1. Filter by your squad’s project + current sprint via time range.
2. Open the Sprint Burndown chart to compare ideal vs actual.
3. Open Time by Assignee to spot who is overloaded.
4. Pin the gadget to the team’s shared dashboard.

Run retros with an evidence-based Ishikawa

Most retros surface opinions. The Risk Analysis section auto-categorises actual issue data (labels, status, age, blocker flags) into the four classical fishbone branches.

Set-up

1. Filter by sprint duration and project.
2. Project the Ishikawa diagram on the retro screen.
3. Walk each branch (People, Process, Quality, Schedule) and click contributors to drill into the underlying Jira tickets.

One-click read-only view for board meetings

You don’t want to learn Jira. You want a clean view your team prepares, and you want it full-screen on the projector.

Set-up

1. Open Jira → Apps → Rich Filters Dashboard — KPIs, Burndown & Risk.
2. That’s it. The full-page mode renders KPIs, status distribution, sprint burndown, milestones and risk side-by-side at 1600 px.
3. Toggle dark mode if the room lights are off.

One filter set across JSM tickets and Software issues

Your team owns one Jira Software project for engineering and one Jira Service Management project for customer requests. You want to see the union.

Set-up

1. In Project filter, multi-select both projects.
2. Use the Status filter to focus on Open + In Progress.
3. Use the Statistics by Component table to see which component drives volume.
