How to configure Burndown and Burnup charts so that I can choose what stages represent completion?

[John Fox]

Hi there,

I am trying to work out how to configure Burndown and Burnup charts so that I can decide which stages of a workflow can show up as completed. At present, only when things receive acceptance can they be considered complete. I would rather that certain other stages, like when an issue reaches testing, could be considered complete. It would be a more accurate and positive reflection of progress for a sprint. 

Could we have 'deployed status' as green? Is this the correct way to do it?

What are best practices are for burnout chart? How can we change status categories in JIRA?
At which point should it be updated from the workflow point of view? After testing or after developing?

These charts key off the board configuration.  To have a different view but not have to impact your board, create a new board with your preferred burnup/down rules via a new set of column mappings to use just for the reports.
