Dashboard: Filter by assigned story points (Fibonaaci)

[Caroline Schnaack]

Hey there,

I would like to create a dashboard, that filters all stories regarding to their story points. Meaning, all stories that counts 1, all stories that counts 3, all stories that counts 5 and so on. 

Thanks in advance

You would need to set up a series of filters to catch this, assuming your story points is a standard number field, so:

• story points = 1
• story points = 2
• story points = 3
• story points = 5
• story points = 8
• story points = 13
• story points = 21
• story points = 34
• story points = 55
• And then I'd add an exception filter for catching all the numbers not on the sequence - story points not in (1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55) or story points is empty

(I know, I know, but I've got most of a degree in mathematics and it hurts when people don't call it a Fibonnacci-like sequence)

You'll then need to use those in many gadgets on the dashboard.

On some systems, I've implemented a slightly better way to do story points with a pair of fields.  We remove story points from create/edit, and add a select-list for it, which enforces the numbering (so you don't need the last filter on my list above), and gets copied into a (scripted) number field which we can use for the sprint estimates. 

This could make your reporting a lot more flexible, because you could then use it in gadgets like the filter statistics.  For example, a filter statistics gadget looking at "project = X and resolution is empty" could be told to group by "story points select" and you'd get a report on how many issues had 1SP, 2SP, 3SP and so-on.
