Morning.
What fields are necessary to get great reporting when using company-managed, scrum projects? I've been tasked with creating a new issue type for my company and cannot find hard, fast documentation that details which fields inform epic, burndown, velocity, control, etc. reports.
Ultimately, we'd like to see how a project is progressing over time and, based on how fast we completed previous work, how likely we are to complete the remaining effort within the given timeframe.
Do I need Start and Finish dates? Estimated start and estimated finish? Both? Logged work? Time Tracking? Story Point estimate? I also read up on the Fibonacci scale - do I need to implement using it for estimating?
Help me!
Thanks.
Hi @Kim Killen,
Basically, the short answer is none.
Burndown and velocity charts - which are available by default on a scrum board - look at the columns of the board and consider an issue as done when it reaches the rightmost column of the board. This results in the value the issue reports (in story points or issue count) being considered as done and a visual indication of that value burning down on the charts.
Time tracking is the odd one out for e.g. a sprint burndown chart. The original estimate will display how much work was initially expected, but when your team starts logging work (time spent) agains issues, that reflects on the chart regardless of the issue status / board columns.
The control chart uses system dates that are logged when an issue's status is updated and - based on simple diff between the first and last transition dates displays the elapsed time.
Hope this helps!
Thanks, @Walter Buggenhout
