Velocity Chart - Compromised Tasks disappeared

[Mauricio Ferreyra]

Hi everybody!! 

Suddenly, I realised that my Velocity Chart is not recording/displaying "Compromised Tasks" againts "Completed Tasks".

And I don't have a damned idea of why this is taking place...

Any help?

Hi @Mauricio Ferreyra,

Are you starting the Sprint and then adding or changing the issues to the Sprint? 

Velocity Chart Documentation

1. Commitment: The gray bar for each sprint shows the total estimate of all issues in the sprint when it begins. After the sprint has started, any stories added to the sprint, or any changes made to estimates, will not be included in this total. 

Thanks

Great help @DannyHarris !!! One more question , given that ...

"NOTE: Estimates from sub-tasks are not included in the Velocity Chart's calculation. (Only estimates from parent tasks are included.)"

If I informed estimates for subtasks ... will chart work with sum of child tasks estimates at parent level?

thanks in advance

Apologise @Mauricio Ferreyra, 

I believe the note is correct and in line with Agile planning and reporting. 

JIRA calculates Velocity using the time (only) from the story, but not aggregating time estimates from sub-tasks. There is a discussion relating to the calculation of story time estimates adding the sub-tasks estimates: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/GHS-9167

My suggestion would be to use issue count rather than time for the velocity charts. Though Story Points at the Story level and time estimates at the sub-task level are also feasible. 

Hope this help
