Hi
It will be a long story. Can't explain it short.
Assume for a minute you came to a great company, which has a great product. The company grows rapidly, and has a code base that becomes a disaster 
The whole company, starting from 3 developers to 50 in few years, was coding to deliver, without noticing how they forget to refactor and sometimes even design. And in some way they did a great job, product is the leading one, and they grew.
They grew even to employ someone, who sees the problem, and wants just to convince others to start coding in a better manner. This person is convinced, that the company now bears immense cost of development for every small bit of functionality they want to add.
Ideally, this person wants to show something like the following:
During development of release K+2 logged time distributes as
- 10% - develop new features
- 20% - fix bugs found by QA in new features of K+2
- 50% - fix bugs, that were introduced while fixing different bugs during K+1
- 20% - fix bugs, that were introduced while implementing K+1 features
Yep, the company already use JIRA.
So, the question is:
Assume that the person who fixes the bug is smart enough to find when the bug was introduced. The person will have this information once he knows how to fix the bug, and has Git to find out when and why some code was created/modified.
Can we use JIRA to show such statistics? Even approximation is good.
If JIRA could be used to show those things, what we need to start doing? I mean, probably we need to start linking items, use some tagging etc.
What would you suggest us to do?
Regards
