⛑️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 work item tab, this dashboard gives users the flexibility to select multiple Jira projects, filter by 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:
Or group by projects:

Filters
Group by - Switches between Duration (time-based) and Projects (project-based) views. Changes the x-axis and column headers throughout.
Date range - Sets the time window for the data. Applies to both Graphical and Tabular formats.
Projects - Multi-select to include specific Jira or ClickUp projects. If no projects are selected, the data falls back to your default board.
Work Item Type - Multi-select to choose which issue types appear as series in the chart and rows in the table.
Date Grouping - When Group by Duration is active, choose the time bucket size: Weekly, Monthly, or Quarterly. This filter has no effect when Group by Projects is selected.
View toggle - Switch between Graphical Format (chart) and Tabular Format (table). Switching triggers a fresh data load for the new view.
Few things to note
Integration required: Either Jira or ClickUp must be connected. If neither is connected, a prompt appears directing you to set up the integration in Settings → Integrations.
Issue type cap: A maximum of 10 issue types can be displayed at once on this screen. Selecting more than 10 will show only the first 10.
Date Grouping in Projects mode: The Date Grouping filter (Weekly/Monthly/Quarterly) only applies when Group by Duration is selected. In Projects mode, grouping by date has no effect.
No data state: If the current filter combination returns no results, the chart shows "No data available for the selected filters." Try broadening your date range or adjusting your project and issue type selections.
Creation date basis: All work item counts reflect when items were created, not when they were completed or moved to a sprint.
