Sprint Blockers

Overview

This gadget displays all the pending impediments or blockers of a sprint. For an issue to be identified as an impediment or blocker, it has to meet any of the following criteria:

• The issue is flagged as important. These issues are displayed in yellow and with the flag icon (see Jira cloud flag an issue).

• The issue has a blocks link to another issue, which in turn is linked with a blocked by relationship to the blocker issue.

Some users identify blockers using a workflow state Blocker and a column Blocked, with labels, or with a priority Blocker.

Configuration

1. Provide a meaningful name for the gadget so everyone knows what information it displays.

2. Complete the remaining fields as applicable:

   1. The datasource, where Current indicates the Jira instance where the app is installed.

   2. The project and the board where the issues are located. By default, all the issues are displayed, no matter the active sprint they belong to, in case there are parallel sprints.

   3. Choose whether to use the current settings for all the compatible gadgets in the dashboard. This option avoids configuring the rest of the gadgets individually.
