Summary
Imagine your project is already overdue, and the issues scheduled for the next release depend on issues in multiple projects. Finding and managing these issues can be time-consuming and complicated. With JQL Search Extensions for Jira, you can easily identify all issues blocking your project.
Step 1: Create a new dashboard
Go to Dashboards > Create dashboard.
Name the dashboard
Project blockers
, then click Save.
Step 2: Create a filter with a JQL query
Go to issue search (issue navigator) and enter the JQL to find issues blocking your release:
Code Block language sql linkType = blocks AND linkedByIssueProject = SEARCH and linkedIssueStatusCategory != "Done"
Save the query as a filter and name it
Issues blocking search project
.If you want to further narrow this search, you can try these options:
Use
linkedIssueType = Story
to search for issues that are blockers for stories in your project.Try
linkedIssuePriority = Blocker
to search for issues that are dependencies of dependent on blockers in your backlog.Try adding more keywords:
assignee = unassigned
- to identify issues that are being worked on orcomponent = Core
to limit the search to blockers from the Core component.
