We are thrilled to unveil Projects Insight Edge, the all-in-one solution for Jira project management, now available on the Atlassian Marketplace. Developed during the prestigious Codegeist hackathon, this ultimate tool earned a bonus prize in the “Runs on Atlassian” category, proving its value and innovation.
With Project Insight Edge, Jira users gain unprecedented visibility into their entire Jira project landscape, providing analytics and insights that go beyond Jira’s default reporting capabilities.
Why We Built Projects Insight Edge – Lack of A Comprehensive Overview of All Jira Projects with Relevant KPIs
Jira users often struggle with fragmented project data, lacking a Jira project report that consolidates key performance indicators (KPIs) across all projects. While Jira provides a list of all accessible projects, it lacks detailed insights into critical data such as issue counts, user access, and project status.
We created Project Insight Edge to eliminate that hassle and provide a comprehensive overview of health, status, and progress across all Jira projects. Many users resort to manually creating complex filters and dashboards to extract this information.
Recognizing the need for an out-of-the-box solution, we set out to create an app that aggregates data from all Jira projects into a single, comprehensive report. Our goal was to empower users with the ability to make data-driven, strategic decisions without the hassle of manual data compilation.
How Project Insight Edge Transforms Jira Project Management – Insight Into All Projects at a Glance!
Managing multiple Jira projects efficiently requires real-time insights and comprehensive reporting. Our tool delivers exactly that, empowering teams to make informed decisions, optimize workflows, and improve project outcomes.
Project Insight Edge aggregates a unified view of project data, such as issue counts, user access, and project status, into a single, easy-to-navigate dashboard. Whether you’re managing a few projects or hundreds, this app is your go-to solution for tracking project health and identifying areas for improvement.
Stay tuned as we delve deeper into the features and benefits of Projects Insight Edge, and explore how it can transform your Jira experience.
