Hello @Rahul Sharma

You can try Time in Status for Jira Cloud which helps to measure Cycle time and generate status reports.

To measure Cycle time in a particular sprint, you just need to choose a Time in Status report and filter by Sprint. Also, you can build a Graph or Grid report.

If you want to compare two sprints, you can configure 2 Gadgets with two different sprints in it. And then you'll all data on the dashboard and compare them.

Discover more info on how to calculate in Cycle time in 3 tools to analyze Cycle and Lead time in Jira article.

Also, you can export a generated report to CSV or XLSX files. It's developed by my team and is free for using up to 10 users. Please, let me know if you have any questions.

Hello @Rahul Sharma

If you are OK with using a marketplace app, our team at OBSS built Time in Status app for this exact need. It is available for Jira Server, Cloud, and Data Center.

Time in Status mainly allows you to see how much time each issue spent on each status and on each assignee.

The app has Consolidated Columns feature. This feature allows you to combine the duration for multiple statuses into a single column and exclude unwanted ones. It is the most flexible way to get any measurement you might want. Measurements like Issue Age, Cycle Time, Lead Time, Resolution Time etc.

For all numeric report types, you can calculate averages and sums of those durations grouped by the issue fields you select. For example total in-progress time per customer (organization) or average resolution time per sprint, week, month, issuetype, request type, etc. The ability to group by parts of dates (year, month, week, day, hour) or sprints is particularly useful here since it allows you to compare different time periods or see the trend.

The app calculates its reports using already existing Jira issue histories so when you install the app, you don't need to add anything to your issue workflows and you can get reports on your past issues as well. It supports both Company Managed and Team Managed projects.

Time in Status reports can be accessed through its own reporting page, dashboard gadgets, and issue view screen tabs. All these options can provide both calculated data tables and charts.

And the app has a REST API so you can get the reports from Jira UI or via REST.

Using Time in Status you can:

* See how much time each issue spent on each status, assignee, user group and also see dates of status transitions.
* Calculate averages and sums of those durations grouped by issue fields you select. (For example, see average InProgress time per project and per issue type.)
* Export your data as XLS, XLSX, or CSV.
* Access data via REST API. (for integrations)
* Visualize data with various chart types.
* See Time in Status reports on Jira Dashboard gadgets
