Need to develop Plan view dashboard using the data from Jira
- Anonymous1 year ago
Hi Deelip_burla
Yes, it is possible to develop a Plan View dashboard in Power BI similar to the one shown in your Jira screenshot, but it requires careful data extraction and visual customization. The image represents a typical roadmap or Gantt-style view from Jira Advanced Roadmaps, displaying project timelines, team-based swimlanes (like PLAT, IOS, ADR), and tasks or epics plotted across a calendar timeline with color-coded bars and milestone markers. To replicate this in Power BI, you first need to extract structured data from Jira using the Jira REST API or a third-party Power BI connector, capturing key fields such as issue IDs, summaries, statuses, start and end dates, story points, teams, and releases. Once the data is modeled correctly, you can use a Gantt chart custom visual from AppSource to replicate the timeline view. The tasks or epics can be grouped by team or project to create the swimlane effect, and releases can be shown using markers or shapes depending on the visual's capabilities. Below the timeline, a table can be added to list the scope with issue keys, descriptions, story points, and statuses—just like in the screenshot. While Power BI doesn’t natively support a full roadmap view like Jira Portfolio, with proper data modeling, a suitable Gantt chart visual, and some formatting logic, you can create a close and interactive replica of this layout for reporting and project tracking.
