Reports for Versions
Version Burnup Chart
Scope
Only applicable for Fix Versions as we can't yet track history for Virtual Versions.
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:
Available units are:
- Issue count
- Original time estimate
- Story points (Jira software only)
User can adjust report output via custom JQL queries:
Few popular Use Cases:
New features and technical improvements burnup | issueType in (Epic, Story, Task) | |
Exclude sub-tasks | issueType in standardIssueTypes() | |
Burnup for assignee | assignee was <user_name> |
Also, user can choose from additional drawing options:
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.
The option is not available if version start date is empty.
Report content
- Total scope of the version calculated on a daily base in selected units
- Done scope of the version
Guideline. Shows ideal burnup rate in order to complete version in time.
Guideline is only available if Start and Release dates are specified.
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
The forecast guideline will be drowned if the projected release date is calculated.
- Start date. Indicates version start date
- Release date. Indicates version release date
- 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:
"Date","Total","Completed" "2019/10/28","87","16"
Version Trends Report
Scope
Only applicable for Fix Versions as we can't yet track history for Virtual Versions.
This report helps to outline scope change and velocity trends of the version.

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.
The option is not available if version start date is empty.
Few popular Use Cases:
Description | JQL | Units |
---|---|---|
Bugs trend report | issueType=Bug | Issue count |
Version velocity | issueType in standardIssueTypes() | Any |
Business value trend | issueType in (Task, Story, Epic) | Issue count or Story Points |
Performance per person | assignee was <user_name> | Any |
Report content
The report has the following content:
- 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
- Scope change trend line.
- Velocity trend line.
- Scope change and velocity for the current period are outlined with a dotted line.
Reports for Releases
Release Trends Report
Scope
Will only take Fix Versions of specified release in account. For Virtual Versions we can't yet track history.
Release trends report is similar version trends report. It consists of two main parts:
- Cumulative trends for all version in the release.
- Separate trends for each version in the release.
Release Burnup Chart
Release burnup chart is similar version burnup. It consists of two main parts:
- Cumulative scope. The chart shows the cumulative scope and progress for all the versions in the release on a daily base
- Separate charts for each version on the release.
Report logic is similar to versions burnup.
Release Status Report
Release status report helps users to understand the status of the release and all its versions.
The following information about the release and its versions is available:
- Status
- Issues progress
- Start date
- Release date
- Projected release date
User can select any release available in the Release Board using the Releases selector:
Release Milestones Reports
Release milestone report gives you an aggregated view on all milestones of cross-project release and its associated versions.
To open the report choose "Milestones" in release section of "Switch report" drop down.
Choose one or several of your cross-project releases 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.
