The Heartbeat of Successful Solutions

As product managers and product owners – you’re the backbone of delivering successful solutions, by understanding user challenges, leveraging Jira Dashboards and bringing valuable products to life. Your role is crucial—you’re not just leading the roadmap, you’re also deeply connected to the customers’ needs. Let’s dive into some tips to make your journey more exciting and effective:

The Reality Check: Where’s Your Time Going?

You’d think product managers spend significant time talking to customers, analyzing user research, and designing the roadmap, right? Think again! According to the Productside survey, only 28% of PMs spend time strategizing. Instead, 72% are stuck in the weeds, focusing on tactics and execution. Yet, 61% wish they had more time for strategy, believing it would significantly boost project success.

Get to Know Your Customers (Seriously!)

Believe it or not, 44% of product managers spend just 1% to 15% of their time engaging with customers. Actuation Consulting’s survey highlights this disconnect—PMs are fire fighting bugs, reporting, attending endless meetings, and managing stakeholders. These tasks are important, but don’t let them overshadow the foundation of understanding your users.

The Cost of Missing the Mark

Here’s a startling fact: 21% of products fail to meet customer needs. That’s one out of five! Knowing your customers’ problems and how your product solves them is crucial. Let’s get back to basics and focus on what really matters.

The Jira Dashboard To Save You Time

1. 1. Tame the Fires: Manage Urgencies Efficiently

Use Jira Plugin tools like PM Overview – the KPI dashboard to stay on top of your projects and spot team urgencies quickly. The Notifications & Alerts feature keeps you informed about critical project metrics and early warning signs, such as missing story point estimations, sprint completion percentages, and sprint velocity.

2. Stay Updated with Latest Events

The Latest Events section is the ultimate PM dashboard that shows real-time task activity. Track changes, comments, and updates from your team to ensure everyone is on the same page.

3. Cut Down on Meetings and Reporting

Sometimes, you need to decline a meeting and guide stakeholders to where they can find answers. But for those crucial stakeholder meetings, preparation can be a breeze with the Allocation Breakdown Chart. This tool visualizes what your team has been focusing on, helping you report efficiently and plan for the future. The only product dashboard you need.

4. Analyze Task Completion Times

Understanding how long tasks take to complete can be a game-changer. With the Average Task Completion Time feature in your product dashboard, you can analyze task completion times based on various parameters, such as task type (e.g., tasks, bugs, stories) and timeframes. This helps you see what your team is faster at, like bug fixing or new features, and what takes longer, such as compliance or security tasks.

5. Plan and Prioritize with Ease

The Planning Section of your Jira Dashboard offers a centralized view of all tickets organized into sprints or custom timeframes. Users can easily prioritize tasks by dragging and dropping them, and quickly access and manage open tickets by clicking on the ticket ID. This feature streamlines your workflow and helps keep your team on track.

6. Review Completed Tasks

Reflecting on what’s been done is just as important as planning what’s next. The Completed Tasks section lists all completed tasks within the current sprint, previous sprint, or custom timeframes. Users can review task details and assess sprint progress, which is also helpful for retrospectives and planning future sprints.
