Description/Features


Report for viewing issue statuses in the same way as in agile project progress walls (issues in three columns: to do/in progress/done). Many agile teams use task walls to represent the current status of the sprint (or project). Tasks are grouped by their status to three columns: Not started, In progress and Done. Tasks are usually also sorted so that top priority issues are on the top and low level issues are on the bottom.

Agile Wall Report plugin tries to mimic this view in JIRA so that team members can use a same kind of a view for a current project version that is being developed.

Note that current version uses default JIRA statuses. Issues with "In Progress" status are rendered in the middle and issues with "Closed" status are rendered as done. Other status types are rendered in the Not started column.

Restrictions

Current version only supports default JIRA statuses (In Progress, Resolved and Closed)

    Nice! Just a quick bug I noticed, the Not started, In progress, and Done headings get dropped when I go to the print view.

    Are there any plans to add "Resolved" as a member of the Done column? We use this state for issues completed until our "Sprint" is complete. It is a standard JIRA state.

      Good idea. I can add "Resolved" as a member of the Done column. The ultimate solution would probably be that user could select states for the columns as it would then also support custom states.

    We're using this plug-in to help communicate our progress with remote employees and it is working great so far.  Some feature suggestions:

    • Allow a setting to bump all task cards to the top of the page under their respective columns.  This is mainly to reduce verticle scrolling.
    • Allow configurability of the order in which the task cards are ordered in a column
    • Reduce the size of the cards, again to reduce scrolling

    Thanks for the excellent plug-in!

      I'll try to reduce the size of the cards. What do you think, should it be enough if only a issue title is shown and other information is for example in tool tip?

      I'm planning to implement an AJAX feature that would allow easy status change for tasks so this would probably need that the issues aren't bumped to the top of the page. Although this could be configurable option.

        I think the most important thing is to reduce the height of the cards, something similar to the styling you use on the portlet.  Perhaps it's just reducing font and white space.  Having the information on the cards is valuable...  So I think I would do this:

        • Keep all the information that is currentlyon the cards
        • Reduce the font size to the same as the portlet
        • Reduce vertical white space
        • Perhaps make what shows on the card configurable?

        I like the idea of an AJAX interface to make updates.  I think you could probably still achieve bumping cards to the top.  This is the primary complaint of my team, the amount of scrolling involved.  We typically have 50+ tasks per sprint.  Whatever you can do here would be great.

        How are the cards currently ordered per column?  It seems to be different in the report and portlet.  Is this controlled by the filter?

        Thanks again!

          Hi Stephen,

          I just released v1.3.0 which now has a smaller font on the issue cards and I reduced vertical white space between cards to 1 pixel. I also moved the person information from the bottom of the card to the top along with the issue number, hours left and priority and type icons. The report is now created based on user specified filter (as portlet) so now you can define yourself which column is used for ordering in your filter.

          I hope that these changes will reduce some of the complaints from your team

          I'll think about the "bumping" feature. We are using the ordering for priority so when issues are bumped up that would lose the priority information between issues with different statuses.

            I downloaded and installed the latest version, I like it!  I like that it still has all the data biut greatly reduces the scrolling, Nice work!

            I noticed the cards are now draggable, it would be very slick if you can get the AJAX updates working to change status as people move cards around.  I'll keep an eye on it !

    Great plugin, Ajax update function along with drag-n-drop would be super. Ideal if the update would allow for workflow and task assignment changes.

    With the Time tracking in 3.11 able to monitor subtask remaining time as part of the parent ticket's time tracking, it would be helpful if the plugin was able to do the same, as currently it will only show the time remaining for the parent ticket.

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    I tried to install the plugin but I keep getting " Could not find any values for field 'Filter'" when I run the report.

    Any idea on what I did wrongly?

    Thanks

      Hi Alessandro,

      What version of JIRA are you using? Do you have any saved filters when you are running the report? Try to save a issue search filter before running a report. I'm using something like "Current Sprint" filter that always points into a latest version that we are working on.

      Let me know if this solves your problem.

        Hi ,

             I found your plugin very useful for my project , thankx for it.

            I have a request also for you that if it is possible can we add a config page where we can assign the different states to the different task status.

        Or probably if u can tell where I can go and add the code for same in the source ( which file, I am not a developer though but i can try. ) 

        Thanks Again for such a nice plugin.
