Status of Issues?

Question

Hi! I don't know if this is possible but I’m looking for a simple status solution, the status of a single issue. I can see how long an issue is in a status / column; and with some research I can guess. But stakeholders would like to see a % complete.

I seem to recall a field for percent complete when I downloaded our issues to CSV but I don’t see the % complete field in our issues; apparently hidden by our administrators? Is something like this possible in Jira, or possibly in Excel?

The columns on our board are –

* In Progress
* Dev Complete
* In Testing
* Testing
* Blocked / Hold
* Done

Hello @Mike Sebastian

I am not sure if you can see the complete percentage field in your issues directly in Jira, but I guess you can download the issue report and calculate what you need in excel.

With Time in Status for Jira Cloud, you can customize the columns and the statuses and later export the data as XLSX or CSV file and use it for further analysis.

If you are planning to build charts based on the data you exported, you can simply view it directly in the application by switching the grid to charts (pie/bar/area), I think this option will help you to visualize the progress you're making. You can also export chart reports.

There is a variety of reports you could generate besides simple Time in Status - Assignee Time, Average Time, Status Entrance Date, Time in Status per Date, Status Count, and Transition Count.

Hope, this will help you

If you get me the file I can tell you where does it come from. I can ensure that it's not related to what you need and you will need to consider the options I mentioned on top to get that type of report.

* I don't have any in front of me but I recall something like percent complete. but I only see it when I export to a CSV file. I don't see anything like that in a jira ticket.
