Weekly burndown trend - is therer such parameters within the tool???

Danine O_Donnell

There is a debate if JIRA _can the Scum Master truly do a weekly burndown rate. DO _not point me to the burn down or burn up. Unless I am missing the point on how to set the parameters. 

The only way  I can see this working if the team has good hygiene to update their daily burn? Or is it the way you set the parameters? 

If yes- then where can I set the parameters and not include weekends or holidays which affect the report.

Where is the setting setting to show when a story is not meeting the due date- I recall seeing color coded dots. We had an update so now the setting are not there.

Anyone wondering the same thing or am I speaking some unknown language?

Hi @Danine O_Donnell,

A weekly burn rate can be manually extracted from sprint burn charts, but this is not ideal of course. The Jira's default burndown chart does not have a param for grouping data weekly. 

For getting such a rate automatically, you could search on Atlassian Marketplace for an app that offers such report or chart. 

If you are open to the idea of using an app, our Great Gadgets app offers a Kanban Velocity / Throughput gadget that can easily calculate this for you. 

All you have to do is to configure it with a filter or JQL that returns the issues worked by your team. It can group data weekly, can calculate by story points, issue count or any numeric custom field and can include the sub-tasks in the calculation. Read more about this gadget in this article.

The same app offers a Release Burdown Burnup Chart gadget, which has a parameter that allows you to set 1 week long intervals in the chart. 

Danut.
