Key highlights of the appFind the work that has been blocked longest, and the one blocker holding up everything else

See what is stuck, and for how long

Every blocked work item on one gadget, oldest first. The item that has been waiting longest sits at the top, not buried three columns deep on a board.

Find the bottleneck, not the symptoms

Flip the table to see who is holding things up. One contract blocking four items is one conversation, not four separate chases across four standups.

Scope it to your team in one field

Point it at any JQL filter and choose when an item counts as overdue. Nothing else to configure, and nothing is ever written back to Jira.

More details

WHAT IT DOES
Shows every blocked work item on one dashboard gadget, ordered by how long each has actually been waiting.

An item counts as blocked when it is flagged, or linked to a blocker that is not yet Done. A blocker already completed stops counting, so stale links do not inflate the list.

The age is measured from the start of the current unbroken blocked period, not the most recent event. Where history cannot prove when that period began, the gadget reports "unknown" instead of guessing.

ALSO IN THIS RELEASE

Group by blocker: see which single issue is holding up the most work
Sort on any column, with issue keys sorting numerically
Three severity levels: items turn amber before they turn red
Hover any age to see the exact date the current stretch began
Manual refresh with a last-updated timestamp

PERMISSIONS
Read-only. One scope, read:jira-work. Nothing is written back to Jira, and no data leaves Atlassian infrastructure.
