Use this interactive demo to learn how to export your Jira board issues into an Excel CSV file.

Quick summary

You can export Jira issues to Excel by navigating to the Issues section and using the built-in Export Excel CSV option to download all fields as a spreadsheet. This method works directly from your Jira board without any third-party tools or plugins.

Steps

Open the Jira board from which you want to export issues.
Click on 'Issues' in the main navigation menu.
Click the 'Export issues' button on the Issues page.
Select 'Export Excel CSV (All fields)' and Jira will generate a CSV file that you can download.

📌 Why this matters

Exporting Jira issues to Excel gives project managers and team leads a flexible way to analyze, filter, and share sprint data outside of Jira. The built-in Export Excel CSV feature captures all issue fields in a single download, eliminating the need for manual data entry or third-party integrations. This is especially valuable for stakeholder reporting, capacity planning, and audit workflows where spreadsheet access to issue data is essential. Teams that regularly export Jira boards to Excel can maintain full visibility into project status without requiring every collaborator to have a Jira license.
