Reports for Versions

Version Burnup Chart

Version burnup report helps you to monitor version scope and development progress over time. It also allows spotting expected or unexpected scope changes and version progress trend. 

Report configuration

User can choose any version in the board using version selector:

Open

Available units are:

• Issue count

• Original time estimate

• Story points (Jira software only)

Open

User can adjust report output via custom JQL queries:

Also, user can choose from additional drawing options:

1. Draw version from the start date. If the option is enabled, the report is drawn from the version start date. Otherwise, from the date when the first item was added into the version. 

    

2. Show status changes. Outlines version transitions from one status to another one. Please see the example (3) on the screenshot below.

Report content

1. Total scope of the version calculated on a daily base in selected units

2. Done scope of the version

3. Guideline. Shows ideal burnup rate in order to complete version in time. 

    

4. Version and release forecast. Draw optimistic, realistic and pessimistic guidelines based on the projected release date. Please read more details on how the projected release date calculated in FAQ

    

5. Start date. Indicates version start date

6. Release date. Indicates version release date

7. Version status change. Indicates when the version was moved from one column to another one. The details are available on mouse-over. 

Export to CSV

Total scope and amount of done items could be exported in CSV format using button.

The resulted document structure is:

Version Trends Report

This report helps to outline scope change and velocity trends of the version. 

Report configuration

Following configuration parameters are available:

1. Version selector. Choose a version for which the report will be built.

2. Data aggregation interval. The user can choose an interval for which the data will be aggregated in the report. Available options:

   1. Day

   2. Week

   3. Month  

3. Unit. Supported units are:

   1. Issue count

   2. Story points

   3. Original time estimate

4. JQL. The report content could be adjusted via custom JQL function.

5. Done items switcher. Turn on/off done items trend (meaning: version velocity)

6. Scope change switcher. Turn on/off scope change trend. 

7. Draw from start date. If the option is enabled, the report is drawn from the version start date. Otherwise, from the date when the first item was added into the version. 

    

Report content

The report has the following content:

1. Period of the data aggregation. Te values are calculated by the formula: <# of items in period>= <# of items at the end of the period> - <# of items at the start of the period> +1 day 

2. Scope change trend line.

3. Velocity trend line.

4. Scope change and velocity for the current period are outlined with a dotted line.

Reports for Packages

Package Burnup Chart

Package burnup chart is similar version burnup. It consists of two main parts:

1. Cumulative scope. The chart shows the cumulative scope and progress for all the versions in the package on a daily base

2. Separate charts for each version on the package. 

Report logic is similar to versions burnup.

Package Trends Report

Package trends report is similar version trends report. It consists of two main parts:

1. Cumulative trends for all version in the package. 

2. Separate trends for each version in the package. 

Package Status Report

Package status report helps users to understand the status of the package and all its versions.

The following information about the package and its versions is available:

• Status

• Issues progress

• Start date

• Release date

• Projected release date

User can select any package available in the Release Board using the Package selector:

Other Reports

Scope Change Report

Scope change report helps users to identify the issues that caused affect on the scope of a version or package.

The report has two sections:

• Added issues - issues which were added to the target version or package during a specified period 

• Removed issues - issues which were removed from the target version or package during a specified period

Report parameters include:

• Target version or package

• Predefined date periods with the option to specify custom start and end dates

• Filter by issue types

The following issues details are displayed:

• Issue type, key, summary

• Status

• Priority

• Currently assigned versions from "fixVersions" field

• Story points

• Original, remaining and logged work (hours)

The total number of issues in each section is displayed together with the Sum of Story Points and Time Tracking fields.

Board Statistics 

The report shows the number of transitions into each column for version and package.

Reports configuration

User is able to define the following configuration parameters:

• Period. Defines a period for which the statistic will be generated.

• Count multiple transitions to the same column.

  If the option is enabled, multiple transitions of a particular version or package to the same column will be counted. Otherwise, only unique transitions will be counted. Example: version "V3" was moved 3 times to "Done" column. If the option is enabled: we will see that transition was done 3 times, if disabled  - only once. 

Report content

1. Statistics for all versions in the board

2. Statistics for all packages in the board

3. Number of versions or packages which were moved to a particular status during the selected period

4. Transition detail button. It opens a pop-up with all transitions to the selected status.

    

    

5. Export to CSV

Milestones Reports

Milestone report gives you an aggregated view on all milestones of package and its associated versions. 

To open the report choose "Milestones" in "Switch report" drop down.

Choose one or several of your packages and/or versions to generate the report.

How to read track bar?

• Achieved states for milestones achieved at a date <= planned date

• Achieved with delay states for milestones ticked as achieved at a date > planned date

• On track means not yet achieved, but the planned date is in future (or empty)

• Delayed means not yet achieved with planned date in the past

Adjustments and configuration

You can adjust the output by configuring some predefined filters:

• Delayed will shortlist only delayed milestones, not delayed or ALL

• Achieved will shortlist only achieved milestones, not achieved or ALL

• By clicking on "Export to CSV" you can download the output

If you want to go into further details and see version specific milestones toggle "Show details" at the bottom of the report.
