JirAgileR is a R package with the objective to bring the power of the project management tool JIRA to R. By doing so, users benefit from the best capabilities of both platforms. More specifically, the package is a wrapper around JIRA’s REST API, allowing users to analyze proyects or issues from JIRA in R. The underlying powertrain of the API is the Jira Query Language (JQL). You can find more information about it here. All used functions return as a result a data.frame.

–> More information about the package can be found here.

1. Extract all project names with their basic information (e.g. Name, ID, Key, Type, Category etc.).
2. Extract all issues specific to a user defined JIRA query (it allows to use both JIRA’s default fields as well as user defined custom JIRA fields).
3. Extract comments and comments’ details from JIRA issues.

1. Define integrated Reference Classes within the package
2. Include pipes to facilitate analysis
3. Include plotting graphs

You can install the latest release of this package from Github with the following commands in R:

if (!require("devtools")) install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("matbmeijer/JirAgileR")

This is a basic example which shows you how to obtain a simple table of issues of a project and create a tabular report. You will need a username and your password to authenticate in your domain. Possible fields to obtain (which will populate the data.frame columns) can be found here.

library(JirAgileR, quietly = T)
library(knitr, quietly = T)

Domain <- "https://bitvoodoo.atlassian.net"
JQL_query <- "project='CONGRATS'"
Search_field <- c("summary","created", "status")
# Other possible fields are for example c("project", "key", "type", "priority", "resolution", "labels", "description", "links")

df<-JiraQuery2R(domain = Domain, query = JQL_query, fields = Search_field)

kable(df, row.names = F, padding = 0)
