Which Gadget to be used for comparing Planned Hours vs actual Hours for each quarter

Question

Hi All,

I would like to compare the Planned Saving Hours vs Actual hours delivered in Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4. I am not sure which gadget to be used to compare planned vs actual hours. I have created a EPIC story and provided hard coded values in Estimated Savings and Actual Savings fields each quarter EPIC and using them in Smart filter but not getting the result. Kindly help!!

Hi @Shyam Prasad

Welcome to community!

To compare Planned Saving Hours vs Actual Hours Delivered for each quarter in Jira, the Two-Dimensional Filter Statistics Gadget can be an effective choice. here's a way on how to set it up:

* Create a Jira filter that includes the EPICs for each quarter with fields for Estimated Savings and Actual Savings.
* Configure the Two-Dimensional Filter Statistics Gadget with this filter. Select a field to represent the quarters on one axis, and configure the other axis to display the sum of Estimated Savings and Actual Savings.
* Add the gadget to your dashboard to visualize and directly compare Planned vs Actual hours for each quarter.

I hope this may help!

Hello @Shyam Prasad ,

which fields are relevant for the report?

With the date, for example, it makes a difference whether a date from the issue (e.g. Created, Due Date, Start Date, ...) is relevant or a date from the work log.
Do you use the Jira standard functionality for time tracking or a third-party app?
Which fields are then relevant for summarizing at quarterly level? Original Estimate and Time Spent, or others?

For example, the Two-Dimensional Filter Statistics gadget is not relevant if the work log date is relevant.

Cheers
