Added after sprint start - how to visualize it better on the board?

Giedre Yager

Hi all!

I am a new Jira user, using JIRA v7.1.9.

I saw several questions about showing issues added after sprint start, and I figured out I should use:

issueFunction in addedAfterSprintStart("Scrum Board", "Sprint")

However, it does not work for me - I am getting a message "No Board with that name could be found". Any ideas what can be wrong?

In addition,I would like to ask what JQL I should use to card colors? It would be great to show those issues in red color on the current sprint.

I will really appreciate your help!

Hi Giedre

You can always add issues to the Sprint once it started. On the report they will show with an Asterisk.

Card Colors can be selected when you click on "Board Configuration"
Regarding your JQL query what are you trying to achieve exactly?

Hi Fadoua!

Thanks so much for your replay.

I tried to make it more visible on the active sprint which stories were added after the Sprint Start. Checking it on the Sprint Report does not seem so convenient, especially on the daily meetings.

I solved my problem with creating a label "AfterStartTime" and using a colour on it (see attached pictures).

So far it seems to be as a great solution. Thanks!

Great! Did you try a JQL query instead of labels?

Good evening Giedre,

I was able to make it work in JIRA. Whatever numbers, name anything included in your Sprint name should be added.

Below is exactly what I typed and I got the issues that were added to our Sprint after it started.

This works, but to be honest I was looking for something more visual when we just look at the board during our standups.

Also curious if some metrics can show the ratio of unplanned work.

Tinker Fadoua

Then why don't you add it as a gadget to your Dashboard? You save the filter and add it to a gadget.

Not sure about your question, can you please elaborate more?

The card colours can also come from a JQL query... however if you use the above function I believe you will get a StackOverflow exception, because when we get the issues in sprint then it also tries to calculate the card colours, which invokes the query again, etc etc (https://productsupport.adaptavist.com/browse/SRJIRA-2704).

NB the second parameter in that functional is optional - if you omit it then you might have to change the gadget config less frequently.

Hello Everyone!

I'm a new Jira user.

I need your help, my issues is added task on sprint will start , then on going task it was on priority basis so how can i manage it.

Hi Vandana,

Can you elaborate a bit more on the issue you are having?

As I understand right now you want to differentiate between stories added to the sprint that were not originally prioritized in the sprint and stories that were prioritized?

If yes, my solution is attached here. We have two swimlanes in the sprint - planned and unplanned work and I also add a red color to the stories after start time based on JQL query (Labels = AfterStartTime).

Let me know if my answer is helpful or is it something else that you are looking for. After start time solution.png

Hiii,

I'm say exactly sprint is already stared, than after some task will do, so how can i manages????

currently Working sprint.

Thank you,I will really appreciate your help!

Giedre Yager

Sorry, I do not understand.

Having a lane for unplanned work is not a solution for you? You can add stories there and it will be more visible.

hi,

so I have a unique version of this same problem - I want to visualise work that was added to the sprint after the sprint was started...

BUT

I want to automate it

AND

I don't have ScriptRunner (it is cost prohibitive on our cloud instance, so cannot consider at the moment)

What I have done for now is I have created a label called 'Unplanned' that we are diligently adding to any issues that go into the sprint

What I want to do it:

I want a process to automatically add the label AND / OR have a seperate board for the tickets.

We have Automation for Jira, but I cannot work out how to do it using that plugin: automationforjira.com

any ideas how to automate?

TL;DR: need to automate, don't have 'scriptrunner', have 'automate for Jira'

Thanks

Vote for JSWSERVER-20097 to have this built into JIRA Server, or JSWCLOUD-16523 for JIRA Cloud, by default.

It's a bit sad that it's 2020 and they are still gathering interest! This should be possible already.

Hi Zeke,

Did you found any solution since? I'm looking for the same thing 2 years later with no other solution than ScriptRunner found...
