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, Task, or Subtask). This helps you understand 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.
Sprint: This feature allows users to group issues/tasks by Sprints within the Timeline and Gantt views, enhancing task management and sprint planning.
Simply navigate to the "Group By" option to easily switch the view and organize tasks by Sprint.
