Grading System
Every metric produces a letter grade from A (best) to D (worst). The App converts each letter to a numeric value for calculation purposes.
Grade | Numeric Value | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
A | 1 | Excellent — no action required. |
B | 2 | Good — minor attention may be needed. |
C | 3 | Fair — issue warrants review. |
D | 5 | Bad — escalate or investigate. |
Composite Score Calculation
The overall health grade for an issue is calculated as the weighted average of all applicable metric scores, then rounded and converted back to a letter grade.
Formula: Overall Score = ( Σ (MetricGradeValue × MetricWeight) ) / ( Σ MetricWeights ) Example: Cycle=D(5)×2, Lead=D(5)×2, Efficiency=D(5)×2, Returns=A(1)×2, Blocked=A(1)×2= (10+10+10+2+2) / 10 = 34 / 10 = 3.4 → rounds to C |
Metrics marked as N/A (e.g. Due Date when no due date is set, Sprint Health when item was never added to a sprint) are excluded from the calculation — both their numerator value and their weight are omitted. We also hide them from the view.
Rounding follows standard half-up rules.
Score boundaries: A ≤ 1.5, B ≤ 2.5, C ≤ 4.0, D ≤ 6.5, E > 6.5.
