Making stories visible when they're taking a long time

Does anyone know if there's a way in Jira to highlight cards that are taking longer than an expected amount of time? We have the `Days in Column` feature turned on, but we feel that it's not obvious enough. Is there anything to make the background of the card turn red or something else a little more apparent than just the dots on the card?

Hi Jovanna

is is possible to customize the coloring of cards by making use of JQL queries

e.g.

updated >= -16h

Thank you! Do you know if it's possible to exclude weekends from that count?

Kurt Klinner

Not sure if that is possible, but i was just thinking if you could for example

check the workratio field in the JQL workRatio = (timeSpent / originalEstimate) x 100, so if you have spent more time on the ticket than original estimate the ratio would show that

P.S. To get that working time tracking needs to be enabled at your instance

Thanks! I created a query that turns cards red if they've been in a certain status for more than 5 days:

project = TR AND issuetype in (Bug, Story) AND status in ("Being Developed", "Blocked", "In PR") AND cf[11007] = Web AND !(status changed after -5d)

Nice to haves now:

Don't count weekends
Do count the total of time in each status, not just upon each status change. For example, a card that was Being Developed for 3 days, moved to In PR, then back to Being Developed for 3 more days would turn red because the total time in Being Developed is greater than 5 days.
