Beam's Jira Public Dashboards intend to bring visibility into reported bugs, feature request, development opportunities and effort distribution. Having visibility into these items can help us make informed decisions to guide things like: roadmap updates, surface known issues to users, and make it easy for new contributors to get started.
Here's the list and description of the Dashboards:
Backlog [1]:
Aims to help make decisions on project roadmap. Pulls tickets opened in the last 26w (6m), and orders them by votes. The view offers:
On the side panel:
- A pie chart of the distribution of tickets (excluding java and python core*)
- A label heat map to help identify biggest opportunities (exc. python and java core*)
- Two filter windows to pull tickets related to Spark and Flink runners
On main panel:
- A summary of the tickets by component and issue type (to identify critical issues pero component)
- A filter publishing all issues
- A view of ticket statistics by status and issue type (to help us understand effort and opportunity dist.)
* I excluded python and java core components because they dwarf other components, so exclusion helps provide better view of other components distribution.
Need triage and Stale [2]:
Aims to help organize newly opened tickets and keep tickets fresh. This dashboard shows the issues that need triage or have been marked as stale, and have been created in the last 12w (3m). The view offers:
On the left panel:
- A list of all tickets that need triage or are stale
On the right panel:
- A heat map of components
- A pie chart of issue type
- A view of all labels to help with triage
Starter Tasks [3]:
Aims to help potential contributors identify opportunities to make their first contribution. This view pulls all tickets marked with labels used for starter tickets, for all time. It orders the tickets by votes, priority, date created, and reporter. The view offers:
On the side panel:
- A pie chart of the distribution of tickets by component
- A component heat map
On the main panel:
- A view of all starter tickets by component and issue type, to help make decisions on urgency/importance
- A view by reporter, to help identify who to reach out with clarifying questions
- The full list of all available starter issues
