# Work Item Breakdown

The Work Item Breakdown enables engineering leaders, managers, and teams to analyze issue creation patterns across multiple Jira projects in one unified view.

Unlike the traditional single-project issue tab, this dashboard gives users the flexibility to select multiple Jira projects, filter by issue types, and group the data over time (weekly, monthly, quarterly) - all while offering insights in both graphical and tabular formats.

#### You can either group by duration:

<div data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="/files/FeqUptCdzMJJHbhbO9xD" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

#### Or group by projects:

<div data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="/files/Haj1RYcahOWbe2eJYOyO" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>
