#6 Report of the Week: Project Progress

[#1]

Tracking the progress of projects is crucial for any team. The Project Progress report provides a quick and clear view of project health, allowing teams to see how work is distributed across different status categories.

The core of the "Project Progress %" report is a horizontal stacked percentage bar chart. This chart is designed to give a clear view of how issues are distributed across three status categories:

1. To Do – Issues that have not yet been started.

2. In Progress – Issues that are currently being worked on.

3. Done – Issues that have been completed.
   
   

Rows, Columns, and Measures

The data displayed in the "Project Progress %" report is structured in a simple yet informative way:

• Columns represent the status categories: To Do, In Progress, and Done.

• Rows display projects, allowing users to compare multiple projects side by side.

• The measure used in the report is the number of issues created, which are distributed across the three status categories.

This structure provides a clear breakdown of the status of issues within each project, making it easy to understand where each project stands at a glance.

Filtering Options

The report includes several powerful filtering options, which allow users to focus on specific data points. These filters provide flexibility in how the report can be viewed, making it highly customizable for different needs. The available filters include:

• Project: Projects used also as a page filter enable users to focus on specific projects.

• Fix Version: Users can filter the report by Fix versions to see issues from specific releases only.

• Issue Type: The report is filtered to display only Standard issue types, so specific sub-task issue types are excluded.

• Assignee: Set to all assignees, but this can be filtered down to show issues assigned to specific team members.

• Priority: This filter allows users to focus on issues of a particular priority level, such as high-priority tasks.

These filters make it easy to drill down into specific details, enabling teams to analyze progress at a granular level. For instance, you can focus on a single fix version or review how work is progressing across different assignees or priority levels.
