We run automations that sum up story points inside an epic and inside of an initiative. We use these metrics to make various decisions within our organization. Using JPD, when we look at the delivery progress widget, are offered the following information based upon the settings:
Example 1: If the Delivery Progress settings are "Simple" and "Story Points", then the widget will calculate at the Initiative level
Delivery Progress Bar : [0 points To-Do][41 points In-Progress][0 points Done]
- Initiative - [41 Points] In-Progress
- Epic 1 - [10 points] To-Do
- Story A - [5 points] To-Do
- Story B - [5 points] To-Do
- Epic 2 - [11 points] In-Progress
- Story A - [5 points] Done
- Story B - [3 points] To-Do
- Story C - [3 points] In-Progress
- Epic 3 - [20 points] In-Progress
- Story A - [5 points] Done
- Story B - [10 points] Done
- Story C - [5 points] In-Progress
Example 2: If the Delivery Progress settings are "Default" and "Story Points", then the widget will calculate at the top two levels (Initiative+Epic) and they are double counted based on Status.
Delivery Progress Bar : [10 points To-Do][72 points In-Progress][0 points Done]
- Initiative - [41 Points] In-Progress
- Epic 1 - [10 points] To-Do
- Story A - [5 points] To-Do
- Story B - [5 points] To-Do
- Epic 2 - [11 points] In-Progress
- Story A - [5 points] Done
- Story B - [3 points] To-Do
- Story C - [3 points] In-Progress
- Epic 3 - [20 points] In-Progress
- Story A - [5 points] Done
- Story B - [10 points] Done
- Story C - [5 points] In-Progress
What I would want to see is the actual work breakdown, summing at the child level ( see question ) and the ability to still see the point count of Epic and Initiative w/o being in the total. If the widget was working this way, my output would be as follows:
Delivery Progress Bar : [13 points To-Do][8 points In-Progress][20 points Done]
Is this suggestion something Atlassian could consider? I surely can't be the only person with this issue or desire.
