I am trying to configure a dashboard that shows epic cycle time

Jess Painter

Hi

I am trying to create a dashboard that shows all our projects epic cycle time and have been pointed in the direction of Eazy Bi, but it's not that Easy for me. Then I saw the Flow metrics chart that could be added to a dashboard in this article. However, when I go to try and add it, there is no flow gadget for me to configure.

Please help, surely epic cycle time must be a common need across organisations to report?

 

Thanks

Hello @Jess Painter ,

Cycle Time is a valuable metric for all teams but since Epic'a are also issues, their workflows can be customized so the exact definition of Cycle Time is not the same for each Jira (It even might not be the same for all Epic on a single Jira instance).

Let me recommend our app for flexible reporting on such needs. Our team at OBSS built Timepiece - Time in Status for Jira precisely for this. 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 or each assignee. 

   

You can combine the time for multiple statuses to get metrics 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 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 for Jira Cloud.

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.
