Find all the user stories assigned to a specific person

[Smitha Joseph]

In JIRA, how can I find all the user stories assigned to a specific person?

Hi @Smitha Joseph,

Let's assume that user stories are an issue type Story in your Jira, just navigate to Filters > View all issues, switch to advanced search mode and enter the following JQL:

issuetype = Story and assignee = <user>

 Obviously, replace <user> with the person you're looking for.

Hope this helps!

Adding a caveat to this...

When the query is executed the results will be limited to issues that can be viewed by the person executing the query.

If the specified user has access to a Project that is not accessible to the person running the query, then the results from that Project will be excluded.

Thank you @Walter Buggenhout & @Trudy Claspill for your inputs, it did work.

I'm also looking for a way to generate a report where I can view what user stories have been worked by a specific person

What do you mean by "generate a report"?

You could use the Filter Results gadget in a Jira Dashboard to show the results of the filter.

You can set up a Subscription to the filter so that is sends the results to you on a schedule that you define. If other Jira users need to get the output you can Share the filter and those users can also set up subscriptions to receive the output.

Note that the filter is based on the current Assignee of the issue. If a user was an Assigned on the issue in the past but is not the current Assignee, the the issue would not appear in the list for that user. Is that important?

@Trudy Claspill Yes, I was referring to using gadgets in the Dashboard. Thanks, it worked for me!

@Trudy Claspill How can I set up a Subscription to the filter? If other Jira users need to get the output, how can I Share the filter so that other users can also set up subscriptions to receive the output?
