How to display backlog size evolution

Jérémy Cohen Solal

Hello,

 

The company I work actually suffers from a HUGE amount of tickets (bugs, evolutions...)

This "backlog" grows daily.

 

We would like to follow the evolution of the backlog size day by day (or week by week).

 

I 'd like a widget to display (table or graph) something like

 

Date | Number of tickets in backlog 

2021-01-01 | 100

2021-01-02 | 110

2021-01-03 | 109

...

 

The number of tickets would be the number of not resolved tickets at the specified date.

Thank you for the help

Hello @Jérémy Cohen Solal 

Welcome to the community.

Is this tracked in a single project/board in Jira or in multiple projects/boards?

A Cumulative Flow Diagram, available on a per board basis, will provide you with a chart that shows the number of issues in each status/column on each day. You can refine the report to show only the status/columns you desire. So one that doesn't include the Done values might look like this.

That is the built-in solution to your reporting need. This chart is not available to display on a Jira Dashboard though.
