How can JExcel support your work as a Project manager
Visualize different kinds of tasks and task data relevant to your project(s) in an excel-like view. Although JExcel is not a resource planning or PM tool, it helps your work by giving an easy to review interface.
...
Visualize tasks and sub-tasks, flag rows with different colours e.g. by developer, product, project, issue type, estimation, etc.
Review co-worker's or team member's tasks with ease, delegate issues directly from JExcel grid.
Visualize estimation data by charts or summarize spent hours, it’s all coming down to your needs.
Create calculated columns from numeric data without the need of creating new fields in Jira (which would involve Jira admin assistance and possible scripting).
See average/sum/min/max values for numeric or financial columns.
Create reports for managers about estimation, progress, cost, dates, etc.
...
Create reports for specific time frame
Manage upcoming dates like date of next action or next meeting
Rename your Jira fields to better suit your needs (it will only be visible in your workbook, the original name of fields will be shown when viewing issues in Jira)
Create new tasks directly from your workbook
View task details directly from your workbook by opening JExcel sidebar (similar to issue detail view in agile boards)
