Data Sourcesource

Select the type of Data Sourcesource used by the gadget:

• ASaved filterthat contains the Jira issues in your release (the scope of your project release). Make sure that the specified filter is shared if you want other people to visualize the dashboard.

• A JQL query that returns the issues you want to be processed by the gadget.

Release Start Datestart date

The start date of your release.

Release End Dateend date

The end date of your release.

Intervals of

Indicates the time interval for calculating the chart data. If you do Agile development, this should be set according to the length of your sprints or iterations.

Calculate by

Specify on which criteria the calculation to be performed. You can choose between:

• Story Points - the default value; use this option if the issues are estimated in Story Points. If the issues are from team-managed projects (aka next-gen projects), select Story Point Estimate instead.

• Original Time Estimate - use this if you use time estimates; calculation will be done in hours. The Scope will be calculated as the sum of the Original Estimate field of all the issues from the filter, and each time an issue is marked as done, the Burned and Remaining lines will increase/decrease with the amount of hours that is set at Original Estimate for that issue. This option does not consider the time spent (work logged).

• Time Remaining & Time Spent - use this option if you use time estimates and your team logs the worked time on a daily basis; calculation will be done in hours. The Scope will be calculated as the sum of the Time Spent and Time Remaining of all the issues from the filter. Burned is calculated as the sum of Time Spent of all the issues from the filter plus the sum of Time Remaining of all the issues from the filter that are done. Remaining is calculated as Scope minus Burned. This option does not consider the Original Estimate field.

• Issue Count - use this if you want the calculation to be done by the number of issues.

• Other numerical custom fields defined in your Jira instance - pickup the numerical custom field that you use to track or estimate the issues.

Series to Display

Choose what series to display in the chart. You can select one or more options:

Ideal Burndown - the ideal line specific to a burndown chart. It indicates how the remaining work should evolve in the ideal case. It is calculated based on Scope (see below).

Ideal Burnup - the ideal line specific to a burnup chart. It shows how the done (burned) work should evolve in the ideal case. It is calculated based on Scope (see below).

Remaining - the total amount of remaining work at that time; it is specific to the burndown chart.

Burned - the total amount of work done at that time; it is specific to the burnup chart.

Scope - represents the current release goal - the total amount of work to be done in the release at that time. Select this if you want to see the changes in the release scope over time.

Forecast Scope - makes a forecast (prediction) about the scope and displays it as a dashed line between the end of the Scope line and the release end date.

Forecast Burndown - makes a forecast (prediction) about when the remaining work is finished and displays it as a dashed line between the start of the release and the estimated release end date.

Forecast Remaining - makes a forecast (prediction) about when the remaining work is finished and displays it as a dashed line between the end of the Remaining line and the estimated release end date.

Forecast Burned - makes a forecast (prediction) about when the remaining work is finished and displays it as a dashed line between the end of the Burned line and the estimated release end date.

Calculate the ideal series based on

Choose how the ideal series will be calculated. The current scope means that the Ideal Burndown line starts from a value that is the same as the current (latest) value of the Scope series, while The initial scope means that the Ideal Burndown line starts from a value that is the same as the value of the Scope series at the start of the release. You can also choose A fix scope value of and specify a number representing the total work estimate of the release. This third option is useful when you have a rough estimate of the total work but have not yet added all the corresponding issues or estimates in Jira.

End date forecast based on

Specify how the end date forecast is calculated.

The average velocity of all the completed intervals - by choosing this option the end date forecast will be calculated based on the average velocity (average amount of work completed) of all the completed time intervals from the chart.

The average velocity of the last x intervals - by choosing this option the scope forecast will be calculated based on the average velocity (average amount of work completed) of the most recent x completed time intervals from the chart.

A fixed velocity of … - by choosing this option the scope forecast will be calculated based on a fixed velocity, entered manually.

Consider the scope forecast when making the end date forecast

By checking this option, the calculation of the end date forecast will also take into account the scope forecast, not just the velocity.

Scope forecast based on

Specify how the scope forecast is calculated.

The average scope changes of all the completed intervals - by choosing this option the scope forecast will be calculated based on the average scope change ratio of all the completed time intervals from the chart.

The average scope changes of the last x intervals - by choosing this option the scope forecast will be calculated based on the average scope change ratio of the most recent x completed time intervals from the chart.

A fixed scope change ratio of … - by choosing this option the scope forecast will be calculated based on a fixed change scope ratio, entered manually.
