JIRA Live

A live, real-time JIRA dashboard built into Broccoli: run JQL searches, transition issues, edit fields, and leave comments — all without leaving Broccoli or waiting on a separate JIRA dashboard to refresh.

Scoping what's fetched

Each organization or team scopes its own JQL — typically the project key(s) and component(s) that belong to it, excluding abandoned work (cancelled, icebox) unless it completed recently. A rolling completion window (commonly 90 days) balances freshness with query speed.

Quick filters

Filters apply client-side for instant switching, no API refetch:

FilterShows
AllEvery ticket in scope
ActiveOpen, non-abandoned work
In ProgressTickets actively being worked (in progress, in review, in QA, etc.)
BlockedTickets with impediments (blocked, on hold)
EpicsEvery Epic-type issue
This SprintTickets in the currently active sprint
Epics Need AttentionEpics/Initiatives whose status doesn't match their children's — a smart filter for planning hygiene

Caching

JIRA results are cached for roughly 30 minutes. If JIRA is unreachable, Broccoli deliberately shows the last good data rather than an empty board — check the timestamp before trusting a number in a meeting. A manual refresh forces a re-fetch.
