To add a diagram to a Jira dashboard, edit the dashboard, add the Capable Diagram gadget, and replace the sample flowchart it starts with by your own diagram. Select Save and the diagram shows on the dashboard for everyone who can see it. The diagram is stored in the gadget itself, not on an issue.
