Jira offers a native Pie chart gadgets that you could try.

If you configure this gadget with a filter that returns the issues (stories) from a specific epic, like this

*parentEpic = EPIC-1 AND issueType = Story*

.. and then you configure the gadget to use the *Status* field, you will have a pie chart that indicates the progress of that epic at the status level.

This gadget unfortunately does not support the Status Category field. In addition, if you have multiple epics, you will need to create a filter for every epic and add one gadget for each epic.

A better and simpler alternative to this would be to use the **Pivot Table \& Pivot Chart** gadget offered by our [Great Gadgets](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?query=stonikbyte%20great%20gadgets%20agile) app. By using this gadget you can track all your epics in one single gadget by Status Category (To Do, In Progress and Done) and you don't need filters for each epic.

This gadget can be configured as **multiple pie charts**...

... or as **pivot table**

... or as **heat-map table**

All you have to do:

1. configure the gadget to use a filter or JQL that returns the the stories within the epics you want to track

2. configure gadget to use Epic Link, Status Category and Story Points field like this:

Perhaps you already have it. Search for Pivot Table \& Pivot Chart gadget in your gadgets directory while editing a Jira dashboard.

If you are a Jira admin, you can proceed by clicking the **Try it free** button on the app listing from Marketplace: [https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1216564/great-gadgets-for-jira-cloud-agile-charts-reports-kpis?hosting=cloud\&tab=overview](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1216564/great-gadgets-for-jira-cloud-agile-charts-reports-kpis?hosting=cloud&tab=overview)

If you are not a Jira admin, please contact your Jira administrator on this matter.

Danut.

body: [@John Funk](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/7148) I meant to track the completion progress of stories linked to epic. To prioritize our efforts, we're concentrating on completing specific epics before an upcoming SIT

author: John Funk
body: To create such a pie chart, start by creating a filter that shows the total issues you want to report on. Save and share that filter.

Then create a dashboard or use an existing dashboard and place a pie chart gadget on the dashboard. Select the Status as the Statistic Type.


author: Smitha Joseph
body: [@John Funk](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/7148) Iam able to generate a pie chart with just the total count of stories by not count of stories in each stage. Maybe Iam using the incorrect query. Can you help with the JQL query?
