How do you measure points completed on Kanban for a specific period of time?

Question

Is there a report that we can build that will measure actual points completed for a specific time fame when using Kanban?

Something other than Cumulative flow, and the number of days a story has been in the 'works' is also not something  I currently am interested in.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks

@Tarun Sapra Thank you for suggesting eazyBI as a possible solution!

@Sue Mennecke if you decide to explore eazyBI further, then please see some example reports in our Demo account or eazyBI documentation page that will help you start creating your custom reports.

Here status changing to  "Done" implies burning of story points.

Hello @Sue Mennecke

You  have asked an pretty broad question.

The way I would try to create a report is by using reporting tools instead of Kanban reports. Basically boards are view on issues and the source of the issues on the boards are the JQL filters.

So I will write a JQL filter like

status changed AFTER startOfWeek(-6)  TO "Done"

Something like above, "Get me all issues which were moved to Done in last 6 weeks" and once I get the issues using the above JQL filter then I will start slicing and dicing the data. You can add more criteria in the above filter like team names, projects etc.

Once you have the list of issues form above filter then you can use pie-charts, 2 D gadgets etc or use reporting plugins like eazyBI or dataplane to create some nice reports.
