Overview​

The Jira Dashboard plugin brings project management visibility into Portal, allowing teams to track issues, sprints, and project progress without leaving their developer portal. This integration provides developers with direct access to Jira project data, enabling them to stay informed about tasks, bugs, and feature requests while working within Portal.

Key Features​

  • Issue list and dashboard — displays Jira issues associated with components, including user stories, tasks, bugs, and epics.
  • Sprint progress tracking — shows active and upcoming sprints with progress indicators and burndown metrics.
  • Issue details and metadata — displays comprehensive issue information including status, assignee, priority, labels, and story points.
  • Advanced filtering — allows filtering issues by project, assignee, status, priority, and custom JQL queries.
  • Status and priority visualization — uses color-coded badges and icons for quick identification of issue states.
  • Entity mapping — links Backstage components to Jira projects via annotations (jira/project-key or jira/component).
  • Activity feed — shows recent issue updates, comments, and transitions for staying informed on project activity.
  • Epic and subtask hierarchy — displays issue relationships and epic progress tracking.
  • Custom dashboard views — supports configurable views for different team workflows and reporting needs.
  • IDP benefit — centralizes project management visibility, reduces context-switching, and keeps developers informed without leaving their workflow.
