I need to see all my work in all projects.

Hi, we have the same issue, so i support liliana ́s idea and I encourage you to add to the nice funcionlities list abailable now. good job!

Have same problem with the people that work for me. Stuff falls through the cracks because it is sitting in one of X^2 projects we have on the go at any given time.

Same here. Small team working in parrallel on a couple of projects. Would like to open up tracker and at a glance see what the most important tasks are that one should be working on regardless which project it is.

I would also like this feature. It would be very helpful in deciding which tasks to attack next.

This is indeed a popular idea. In the meantime I suggest that you all enable the project tab bar via the View menu.

Dashboards are great for an overall view of a system, providing metrics and key information in one screen. They are almost always an entry point to a system which informs the user of the current state and allows them to direct their attention appropriately.

Jira provide a fantastic dashboard that functions similar to igoogle dashboard, where you can add new widgets or reports and arrange the to suit.

A simple filtering widget that could be added multiple times would allow users to generate a list of stories in a project, or across all projects, that meet certain criteria. EG. my stories across all projects.

Other widgets that may also be useful are a comments feed, project activity stream, charting (like the charts already used in projects).

This is no small task, but I believe it will add a new dimension to the product.

Perhaps you could do some statistics, such as the average number of projects an active user has, to illustrate how many users have multiple projects and thus how many would benefit from this.

On a side note, Jira dashboard also supports google dashboard widgets, which opens up a whole array of widgets that users can add. Although, while it is a cool concept, it may open up your hosted solution more than you wish.

Thanks for a great tool.

Some cool Jira Dashboard pics:

I have a couple developers assigned to many stories across many projects. Right now we have do drill down into each project seperately the see which tasks are we are assigned to, it would be great if we could get a "My Work" list on the dashboard that displays all assigned tasks across all projects.

Seeing your assigned stories across all projects.

My team is working on multiple projects. The projects are setup separately in Pivotal. Is there any way for the team members to view a list of the stories they are currently assigned that is an aggregation from all the projects?

Multiple projects, one team, aggregated view for team member?.

This feature is literally the only reason I have not rolled out to all of my team.

We've created projects = a Team.... So this way you can see the entire work of a team on one sheet. Use tags to differentiate project level linkage.

At least a very basic list shouldn't be too hard to add to the dashboard, no?

That would definitely be more useful than the somewhat redundant "My Projects" list on the left (what's the point in displaying 4 random projects out of 15 with some shortcut links?)

We have a small team (5 people) with multiple projects always on the go. It has become way too hard to find what needs to be done. Can you simply add an option that would replace the Dashboard's "My Projects" with "All My Work" (across all projects)?

A different solution would be to allow filtering by labels. Rather than just adding a new panel/column, it should filter the existing panels (Current, Backlog, Icebox, etc)

It's been a year... No progress?

I have a team of 3 working on several projects. I've considered rebuilding a basic version of PivotalTracker in CakePHP just so I can have a multi-project dashboard. But if you guys do it, that'd be even better.

We're just evaluating Pivotal against some other similar systems and this is the only thing that could be a dealbreaker for us. Otherwise the system looks really great.

Any chance of an update?

I wonder--is this a philosophical issue? Is the belief that you shouldn't be working on so many projects at once, so you shouldn't be distracted by tasks on other projects?

I have no knowledge of Pivotal's views on this, but there are areas where they stress their philosophical point of view (don't estimate bugs and chores).

My team had initially resisted working within those points of view, but we tried them and everyone agreed things were better. Maybe this is another example of that? If you're trying to be as productive as possible, why plan to switch contexts so often (as opposed to when there's an emergency)?

who says that it's an emergency? we work on projects 1/2 day- 2 days at at time(@sean). Pivotal... ( and other programmer orientated apps) release your brilliance to other fields- such as graphic/ web design studios. Visual design would benefit from your way of thinking.

I would not only like to be able to see which stories are assigned to me across projects (since I work on ~6 projects at a time) but I would also like to see which stories are assigned to my team mates.

How about integrating with ToodleDo? This should then give you the ability to see all open tasks across all projects. 3rd party app but it is reasonably priced and has mobile apps.

We need this specifically for Artists and Design. They work across projects and need each story to be prioritized independently of the project. We're currently using a sticky note system for the artists and Pivotal for the programmers, but its a pain to synchronize the two to get decent velocity readings on the team.

It's been nearly a year since this original post and it doesn't look like much is happening.

With a team of 12 we work on anywhere between 10 and 20 projects in a month, some new projects some in maintenance. Juggling this is quite an act and from our research we've found that people that have success with managing multiple projects have a single backlog with one product owner. We've been combing our backlogs each iteration in a spreadsheet to do this. As you can imagine this is quite time consuming so we're now in the process of developing an in-house solution rather than waiting.

We'll let you know how we go.

This is going to become a blocker to my teams adoption of this tool.

We really want to use pivot tracker - and are trying to make it work ... but w/out this cross-project view, we may need to abandon ship.

Jira is looking like a good option.

One potential solution is allow for "shadow story to aggregate project".

This would allow me to run multiple projects w/individual prioritization in backlog - but "shadow copy" items to an aggregate project (which is a collection of shadowed stories).

The aggregate (full team) project would have aggregated velocity while the individual projects would have ... individual velocity.

Visibility and tracking would be resolved as well.

You can build your own solution from the API.

I mashed together a rather ugly Ruby script to do it today. Right now it just spits out some HTML reports. One is an overall projects view for the project manager....every project and it's stories from the current iteration.

I also create individual reports for each project member....just showing the stories they own from each project.

If anyone wants to take a peek at it I have it on Github.
