Can you have two columns in which issues are marked as 'done' in the burndown chart?

Deleted user December 13, 2018

We use the web/cloud version of Jira and due to our ISAE certification, we have two 'done' columns on our Jira Development board. One is 'done', i.e. the developer has finished building the story. The other is 'Accepted for release', which is a status for issues that are marked by the product owner as 'releasable'. This status is obtained during or directly after a sprint demo. We also use a burndown chart that is based upon storypoint estimates. However, it only counts issues that are in the last column as 'finished' and thus deducted from the estimate. If those statuses are only obtained at the end of a sprint, the burndown is pretty horizontal, as you can probably imagine.

Therefor I was wondering if it was possible to mark two columns as a 'done' column to be used in the burndown chart?

 

Disclaimer: I don't have administrator rights, but as scrum master was asked to research how to more effectively use the burndown chart..

Hello @[deleted]

Your requirement is quite common but currently it's not supported by Jira.

Please see open ticket here - https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSWSERVER-12169 

The workaround for this problem which works well for me is have a separate Kanban board after the development board. So when the dev team says done then the right most column of the dev team should be the left most column of the Kanban board used by your PO for transitioning to status "releasable". Thus, have 2 boards instead of one. 

Story points will be burned when Devs move the story to the right most column of their Scrum board and PO can release the issue based on the Kanban boards which contains the final statuses of the workflow.
