Useful JQLs:

Finding Epics with no Description

As a scrum master, I am always on the hunt for useful JQLs to help in my role today I will be looking at:

Finding Epics with no description: this JQL will return all Epics that have an empty description field. However, by amending the issuetype the same query can be run to do the same for all other issuetypes e.g. stories, tasks etc.

I often use this query as part of a rich filter to count the number of Epics that fall into this category. This is a useful data point to coach teams.

Query: JQL: Project = [project name] and issuetype = Epic and description is Empty and staus not in (rejected, live, closed)
