Hi @Ramesh Krishnan , if your goal is to prevent this from happening you could edit the workflow to require progression thru In Progress. 

With that said, to answer your question consider creating a JQL filter something like below.

Project = xxx and status = done and status WAS NOT "In Progress"

Hi, @Ramesh Krishnan 

It's possible. You can check, if issue was in "In Progress" status by JQL.
Crate Automation rule, that will trigger when issue is transitioned to "Done" status, and check, if issue satisfies to next JQL:

status WAS NOT "In Progress"

 If yes - then make something.

Or, if you want to make report, just use next query to select resolved issues, which were not in "In Progress"

status = Done AND status WAS NOT "In Progress"
