PM use case

Business situation:

You wish to manage different types of issues, assignees, developers, estimation with possible financial data, see task <-> sub-task relations in a simple excel-like table.

Technical conditions:

You have one or more Jira projects which contain various issue types - epic, story, task, sub-task, bug, etc., several Jira custom fields containing relevant issue data. Custom field types can be single- or multi-line text, number, radio button, checklist, single or multiple choice, date picker, date-time picker, etc.

You may have a simple Jira workflow to represent tasks to be executed, but in case you have stricter processes, JExcel respects possible workflow steps, conditions and validators.

Custom fields used for the example:

Developer (user picker)
Product (radio button)
Developer hourly rate (number)
Developer total cost (number)

Workflow used for issuetypes in sample project:

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

Review co-worker's or team member's tasks with ease, delegate issues directly from JExcel grid.

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
