The start of ESU (formerly known as Epic Sum Up)
As the former name suggests, Epic Sum Up was created with a focus around epics, and the ability to break down epics into individual work items with a lot of control for the project manager.
Since then it has evolved into the tool Enterprise Summaries (also known as ESU) which gives you clear, visual and instantly understandable insights. Our goal is to provide project managers with more granular control and view of Jira work items.
Two features that were developed to aid in the easy viewing of work items:
Progress bars - these allow a simple “game-ified” visual way to view the progress of individual work items.
The Summary Panel - Summary Panels were created to give project managers a quick, easy to view summary of different progress bars.
Later the Detail View Editor was developed, to give project managers more control over the hierarchy & layout structure of work items that are important to them.
The three main features
Live Reporting
Using dashboard gadgets and the Summary Panel, it’s possible to add live reports (progress bars), to almost anywhere in Jira.
Easy Editing
The Detail View Editor (DVE) allows you to organize reports and mass edit thousands of work items at once, based on work items/progress bars. It has everything you’re used to in Excel.
You can also export this data for report purposes, to common file types such as Excel, and CSV - as well as other supported Jira apps.
Better Organizing
With the Detail View Editor, you can see the detailed & complete hierarchies of work items, and filter them as you’d like. You can also easily edit values in most fields.
