Team performance
Using the Team performance widget, you can calculate and display the amount of work a team completes over a specific period. The performance metric helps you predict how many issues or stories the team can complete in one sprint or another defined period. In addition, tracking performance helps you assess how changes in various processes impact your team's efficiency.
You can calculate this metric based on any numeric issue field or the number of completed issues. An issue is completed when it moves to one of the final statuses you specified.
To configure a widget, set the following:
-
Name: Enter the name to display in the widget header.
-
Issue source: Specify the filter that determines which issues will appear on the chart. You can select one of the system or custom filters from the list. Alternatively, you can define a filter using the query language or issue parameters. For more information, see Creating and configuring an issue filter.
-
Period: Specify a period for the chart. To make sure the chart period starts from the current date when the widget updates, go to the Main or Other tab and select a dynamic date range such as Last month.
-
Step: Choose the time period that each column on the chart will show. You can specify the step in days, weeks, months, or sprints.
-
Automatic update: Enable this option if you want the chart to refresh automatically. The Step parameter determines the refresh frequency.
-
Calculate the issue volume by: Select a method for measuring performance:
-
Field value: Select an issue field with a numeric value (Story Points by default). The chart column will show the total of all values for the selected field across all completed issues.
-
Issue count: The chart column will show the number of completed issues.
-
-
Final statuses: Select one or more statuses that mark issues as completed when reached.
"Plan" column
To work with a sprint, you can add to the widget a second column — with performance targets:
The Plan column refers to the sum of values for a selected field in uncompleted issues. For plan calculation, it's important to fill in the Sprint field in issues before the first sprint day ends.
The Actual column represents the sum of values for a selected field in the issues completed during the current sprint. Make sure that the issue completion date falls within the time period specified in the Sprint field value.
To add the Plan column to the widget:
-
In the widget settings, set the Step parameter to Sprint.
-
Enable the Plan option. It will appear in the list after you add a sprint.
