Find all work items assigned to you in Jira

You do not need to open spaces one by one to find your work. Jira's built-in My open work items filter shows every open work item assigned to you that you can access.

Company and team-managed spaces

This is a site-wide filter, not a space-specific feature. It works for accessible work items in company and team-managed spaces.

  1. Open your work list

    Select Filters → My open work items. It returns your accessible open work across spaces as a list.

Good to know

A personal work item list is only as useful as its scope:

  • My open work items is a list, not a board. It is ideal for finding work quickly. For a cross-space planning view, create a Personal My work board.
  • You only see work you can browse. Missing spaces in the result usually indicate permissions, not a problem with the filter.

Turn your queue into a working view

Bring the work you own into one clear board so it is easier to prioritise and move forward.
