How To Export Jira Board To Excel
Overview
Exporting a Jira board to Excel can streamline project management by providing a familiar interface for data analysis and reporting. This process involves extracting issues and their details from Jira and importing them into an Excel worksheet.
While Excel is a powerful tool, it can be cumbersome for managing complex Jira data. In this guide, we'll explore why Sourcetable offers a more efficient solution for exporting and managing Jira boards.
Export Jira Board to Excel
Native Jira Export
Utilize Jira's Issue Navigator to filter or search for issues using JQL. Once your issues are filtered, you can export them directly from the Jira board screen. Select 'Export' to download the issues as an Excel or CSV file. Be aware of Jira's 1000 issue export limit for native exports.
Third-Party Export Solutions
For exporting over 1000 issues or to leverage advanced features, consider third-party apps like Excel Online Integration, Better Excel Exporter, or Skyvia. These apps enable users to bypass the native export limitations and offer additional functionality for Jira issue exports.
