Stories By State

Bar chart[Omitted image "inline-data-vis-96px-bar-vertical.png"] Alt text:

At a single glance, understand the overall progress of a feature seeing all of its stories grouped by state.

Feature Burnup

Line chart[Omitted image "inline-data-vis-96px-line.png"] Alt text:

Indicates the scope changes, if any, and trends of those scope changes. You can estimate when the feature is likely to be completed.

The Feature Burnup report comprises the following series that can be hidden or displayed based on your preference:

  • Scope: Indicates the size of the feature, as the sum of story points defined in this feature.
  • Scope Forecast: Predicts the possibility of scope change for the future dates, which is based on historical data.
  • Completed: Indicates the amount of work (in story points) in the feature that is complete.
  • Completed Forecast: Predicts the burnup for the future dates. It indicates whether you can complete the feature on time. This prediction is based on historical data.

Note: The point at which the Completed Forecast series intersects with or crosses the Scope Forecast series is a predictor for when the feature might be completed. If the Completed Forecast series and the Scope Forecast series do not appear to ever intersect, it is a warning that scope is being added faster than work is being completed.

Story Cycle Time

Bubble chart[Omitted image "inline-data-vis-96px-bubble.png"] Alt text:

Identify the time taken for each story in the feature to move from an in-progress state to completion.Each bubble on the graph represents a story. The height of the bubble from the x-axis shows how long that story took to move from an in-progress state to completion. The size of the story bubbles are relative to each other based on their story points.

Hovering your mouse cursor over a bubble displays the following details about that story:

  • Story points
  • Date on which the story is moved to completion
  • Total cycle time (in days) of the story
  • Number of days that the story was in the Work in progress state
  • Number of days that the story was in the Ready for testing state
  • Number of days that the story was in the Testing state

From the Story State section towards the right of the report, you can filter the report to view the cycle time of the stories for the selected states. The chart displays the cycle time for each story as the cumulative sum of all duration of the selected states.

If the bubbles appear crowded in an area of the chart, zoom in on that area for a clearer view.
