Exclude tasks on burndown chart

Question

Hi everyone,

Is there any way to exclude one or several tasks when you create a sprint burndown chart ?

Hi @Nathanaël G'BAMY ,

You could create a new board for the project without the undesired tasks.

The burndown report (and all other reports) of this new board is exactly what you are looking for.

Step-by-Step:

I'm assuming you are using the Cloud version of JIRA. If you have a server version and this tutorial didn't work for you, let us know for a more precise flow.

Creating a filter

* Click on Filter (or magnifier icon)
* Click in "Advanced issue search"
* Create a query with only your desired issues

Pro Tip: Think generally here. Something that could work on different sprints over time - maybe using labels, components or issue types

* Click in "Save as"
* Choose an easy to remember name and click in "Submit"

Creating a board

While looking at the Active Sprint of your project:

* Click on ... button (upper right corner)
* Click on "Create board"
* Click on "Create Scrum board"
* Select "Board from existing Saved Filter"
* Click "Next"
* Give a name for this board
* Select/Type the filter name you created before
* Select/Type the project name
* Click on "Create board" button

Now you have both views. The original board reports won't change and shows everything. The new board reports show only the filtered issues data.

Hope it helps,

Hi @Nathanaël G'BAMY

Using eazyBI for Jira, you may create burndown charts for a sprint and apply additional filters to it, for example, by issue type, Epic Link, project, assignee, and other.

Hello @Nathanaël G'BAMY welcome to the community. You can't do that with the native reporting functionalities, anything that is in the Sprint ends in the report. In order to make a report like that you could use Eazybi instead.
