Use this interactive demo to learn how to build and configure a custom dashboard in Jira.

Quick summary

A Jira dashboard gives teams a centralized view of project metrics, issue statuses, and key data in one place. Follow these steps to create a dashboard, set a name and description, configure access permissions, and save it for your team.


Steps

  1. On Jira's main home page, go to the left-side panel and click 'More'.
  2. Choose 'Dashboard' from the list of options.
  3. Click 'Create Dashboard' in the top-right corner.
  4. Enter a unique Dashboard Name and Description into their respective input fields.
  5. Configure the access settings by specifying viewers and editors, then click the 'Add' button next to each.
  6. Click the respective access menus to choose the type of access and to whom you wish to grant it.
  7. Click 'Save' to proceed.
  8. Your new Jira dashboard is now created and ready to use.

📌 Why this matters

Jira dashboards give project managers and agile teams a real-time, customizable view of sprint progress, issue tracking, and team workload — all in one place. Creating a dedicated dashboard lets you surface the metrics that matter most, reduce time spent hunting for status updates, and keep stakeholders aligned. With granular access controls for viewers and editors, teams can securely share the right information with the right people. This makes Jira dashboards an essential tool for any team managing complex projects at scale.
