Group By field is a feature that gives you the ability to categorize tasks within your Gantt chart or Timeline based on a specific Jira field. This field could represent various aspects like:
Status: Group tasks by their current status in the Jira workflow (e.g., To Do, In Progress, Done). This helps visualize the progress of your project across different stages.
Assignee: Group tasks by the team member. This allows you to track resource allocation and identify potential bottlenecks for specific individuals.
Issue Type: Group tasks by their Jira issue type (e.g., Epic, Bug, Story). This helps you understand the each task of your project at a glance and prioritize different types of work.
Priority: Group tasks by their priority level (e.g., High, Medium, Low). This allows you to focus on high-priority tasks within your Gantt chart and ensure they stay on track.
Fix Version: Group tasks by the Jira version they are targeted for. This helps visualize the progress for upcoming releases and identify potential dependencies.
