Status Ribbon for Jira.

See any Jira issue's whole journey at a glance. How long it spent in each status, how often it bounced back, and its total cycle time. No setup, and it works on any workflow.

What it does

Open a Jira issue and you can see where it is, but not how it got there. The native History tab is a dense, reverse-chronological log of every change. Status Ribbon reads that history and draws it as a single, proportional ribbon, with four summary numbers beneath it. It answers the everyday questions, like how long something has been in review, whether it has been bouncing back and forth, and whether it is actually stuck, without you reconstructing the timeline by hand.

Reading the ribbon

Each segment is a status the issue passed through. Its width is the time spent there, and its colour follows Jira's universal status category, so it works on any workflow regardless of your custom status names.

The labels show your real status names. Status Ribbon displays them exactly as configured. It never renames or interprets them.

The four metrics

Cycle time / AgeTime from created to resolved. If the issue is still open, this shows as Age, from created to now.
TransitionsThe number of status changes across the issue's life.
ReopensHow many times the issue moved from a Done-category status back to a non-Done one.
Longest inThe status the issue spent the most time in.

Getting started

  • Install Status Ribbon onto your Jira site from the Atlassian Marketplace. A Jira admin performs the install.
  • Open any issue. If the panel is not already showing, add it once from the issue's action bar, using the Apps button or the more menu, then select Status Ribbon.
  • There is nothing to configure. No status mapping, no admin project, no settings.

States you may see

  • A new issue with no status changes yet shows a short "no history yet" message rather than an empty ribbon.
  • An open issue shows Age instead of Cycle time, and has no Done segment yet.
  • Light and dark themes are both supported. The panel follows your Jira theme.

Permissions, data and privacy

Status Ribbon runs entirely on Atlassian's infrastructure, under the Runs on Atlassian programme. It is strictly read-only and makes no external network calls, so your data never leaves Atlassian. It reads only the issue you are viewing, a small set of fields, the created date, resolution date and current status, plus your site's status definitions to map the colours. It stores nothing and collects no personal data, and it honours your existing Jira permissions, so it only ever shows what you can already see. Full details are in our privacy policy.
