How to manage in progress task/issues

[Persaud, Kavita]

Hello, I am new to JIRA and was wondering on my Kanban board how can I sort my open task/issues by due date or view them easily by due date (without going into each task/issue to see the dates)?

Hi and welcome to the community!

There are actually a few ways to do this, depending on what and how you want it visualised.

You could make several swimlanes: 

• Issues due > week
• Issues due this week
• Issues due today
• ...

More info on swimlanes:

You could also use quick filters for the same as above only showing issues due this week, today ... etc:

To show the due date simply edit the board config to show due date on the cards:

Hope this gets you started!

Hi @Persaud, Kavita and welcome!

To add to the answer from @Jeroen Poismans:

It is even possible to sort the issues directly on the Kanban board itself by changing the board filter to something like this:

project = PROJECT ORDER BY duedate ASC

However, please keep in mind that you lose the possibility to manually sort the issues on the board if you change the ORDER BY of your filter as shown above.

Hope this helps.
