Jira at the Speed of Sheets: Taming Jira Data with JXL
Forty work items need a new fix version. So you click into the first one, edit it, save, go back, wait for the board to reload, and click into the second. Twenty minutes later you're on number eleven.
Or you take the shortcut everyone takes — export to a spreadsheet, change it on your laptop, re-import, and hope nothing broke on the way.
Join Appfire and Life in Codes and see what bulk edits, custom hierarchies and live calculations look like when they happen inside Jira, on your data, within your permissions.
What you'll learn
• How to edit hundreds of Jira work items inline, like cells in a spreadsheet
• How to build custom hierarchies that go past Jira's default levels
• How to roll up story points, estimates and custom fields across an epic, live
• How to track time in status, lead time and cycle time as columns, not as a separate reporting exercise
• How JXL does all of this inside your existing Jira permissions, without your data ever leaving your instance
Who it's for
Project Managers, Product Owners, Jira Admins, Operations Leads, IT Directors and Scrum Masters. Useful whether you're on Jira Cloud or Data Center, and whether your instance has fifty users or five thousand. No JXL experience needed, and nothing to install before the session.
