The Projects tab in the Time Summary Report provides a high-level overview of how time is being spent across your Jira projects.
It helps you analyze logged time, compare it with estimations, and track billable performance — all in one view.
1. Main Filters
At the top of the report, you’ll find key filters that define your data scope:
-
Projects: Select one or multiple Jira projects to include in the report.
-
Time Range: Choose the date range for which you want to view worklog data (e.g., this month, last quarter, custom).
Tip: Changing the time range or project selection will automatically refresh all visualizations and data below.
2. Summary Charts
Below the filters, the report provides a quick visual overview:
-
Total Spent Hours: Displays the total hours logged for the selected projects and period.
-
Billable vs. Non-Billable Chart: A circular (pie) chart showing the distribution between billable and non-billable hours — helping you instantly see how much of your team’s time is generating revenue.
