What you can consider:
- Use Shared Queries with Explicit User Filters
Create a set of shared queries like:
- Assigned To = Alice

- Use Team Dashboards
If your boards are tied to teams, you can create dashboards scoped to each team. This lets you leverage the team context (e.g., team backlog, team sprint) and use widgets like Sprint Burndown or Velocity that auto-filter based on team membership.
- Use Markdown Widgets for Navigation
Add a Markdown widget with links to each user’s dashboard. This gives reviewers a quick way to jump between dashboards without cluttering the main view.
