Charts based on Time in Status functionality for Jira dashboards

Question

Hello,

I am trying to find an easy way to demonstrate in a Jira dashboard data related to time (e.g. time spent between statuses, lead time, etc.) that i can take from “Time in Status” functionality and also have the ability to filter them per specific attributes as we do with rich filters. Any ideas how i can do it?

Hi @mbitzis

if you're open to solutions from the Atlassian Marketplace, I think you'd really like the app that my team and I are working on, JXL for Jira.

JXL is a full-fledged spreadsheet/table view for your issues that allows viewing, inline-editing, sorting, and filtering by all your issue fields, much like you’d do in e.g. Excel or Google Sheets. It also comes with a number of so-called history columns that aren’t natively available, including time in status, time between statuses, time between created and resolved, and many more.

With these, you can build a view like the one below in just a couple of clicks:

As you can see above, you can easily sort and filter by the history columns, and also use them across JXL's advanced features, such as support for (configurable) issue hierarchies, issue grouping by any issue field(s), sum-ups, or conditional formatting.

Since you've tagged your question for Jira Server: As you may have heard, Atlassian's support for Jira Server will end soon. Are you planning to migrate to Data Center or Cloud? I'd strongly recommend that. If you need some more time, JXL is perfectly compatible with Jira Server; it's just that we need to generate a license for you. If the above looks interesting, just let me know, and I'll happily start a free trial for you.

Any questions just let me know,

Best,

Hannes

Hi @mbitzis  👋

If you are switching to cloud or data center - try Time in Status for Jira, which gives you time in status data by a Particular Period (by week, sprint, etc). Also we have 7 types of status time reports such as Time in Status, Assignee Time, Average Time. All the reports you can display as Pie, Bar or Area Charts.

Also you can get cycle and lead time to uncover bottlenecks and delays

Another way to demonstrate data related to time - is using your gadgets.

And last, but not least - we have Sprint Performance Report Sprint Performance Report where we have all the metrics for easy demonstrating.

Try it! Add-on has a 30-day free trial version and free up to 10 users.  
Hope it helps 😌

Hi @mbitzis,

Try these gadgets offered by our Great Gadgets app. They will be of great help for you.

* Cycle Time Control Chart gadget - displays the issues by their cycle time, lead time or time between statuses in a plot chart, along with the overall average and lets you identify the ones who took longer than expected

* Cycle Time Trend Chart gadget - displays the average cycle time, lead time or time between statuses in a trend chart along with the trendline

* Lead Time Histogram gadget - displays the dispersion of the issues by their average cycle time, lead time or time between statuses. So, how many issues you have in every range, and how many took longer

I hope this helps.

Danut.
