Jira Created vs Resolved chart: when native reporting stops being enough
The Created vs Resolved report answers one of the most common questions in project management: is work leaving the backlog as fast as it enters? For single-board, single-question scenarios, the native Jira report handles this well. The trouble starts when you need to know why the gap exists – or when your scope extends…

📊 Agile Created Resolved Charts 1.1: now on the Jira project page
Every team that ships software faces the same running question: is work arriving faster than we can finish it? A Created vs. Resolved chart answers that directly – it tracks how many work items enter a queue versus how many leave it over a given period. When the two lines diverge, something needs to change. Agile Created…

🚧 Which work items are stuck? Now you see it, not calculate it
Agile WIP Charts adds WIP aging and flow diagnostic charts to Jira Cloud. The WIP Aging chart – the app's core view – shows how long each in-progress issue has spent in each workflow status, so scrum masters and delivery managers can spot aging work during standup and daily triage. You know the moment in standup: someone…

📊 Jira Project reporting: when native reports stop being enough
You can report on a Jira project in more than one way. You can open the Reports tab and read a predefined report. You can build a Jira dashboard from gadgets and saved filters. Both are valid Jira workflows. The trouble starts when the question gets bigger than one report. If the team needs to explain delivery pace, scope…

🧩 Subcomponents for Jira 4.2.0: shared components across projects
Jira components are project-scoped. That works fine for a single project – but once multiple projects share the same functional areas like "Authentication" or "Payments API", keeping them in sync becomes a maintenance problem. Each project gets its own copy, names drift over time, and cross-project reporting turns into a…

🔎 Subcomponents for Jira Cloud: component hierarchy on Jira issues
Jira components are useful until the list gets long enough that the right component is hard to find, hard to explain, or hard to use consistently on an issue. The core idea behind Subcomponents for Jira Cloud is to keep Jira's native components, but organize them as a component hierarchy: admins can add existing or new…

🔍 Jira issue health: spot risk with Agile Cycle Time Charts 2.4
A delayed Jira issue rarely explains itself. You can see that a ticket is late, or that cycle time is rising, but the next question is usually harder: is this specific work item actually at risk, and what happened in its workflow before it got here? Agile Cycle Time Charts 2.4 brings that investigation into the Jira issue…

🚀 Agile Monte Carlo Charts 1.1: forecasts on hours, with the math showing
If you run Monte Carlo forecasts in Jira, you already know the pitch: a confidence range instead of a single optimistic date. You also know the two places it tends to stall before stakeholders trust it. Wall one is the estimation field. Teams that plan in hours and days, not story points, get asked to translate their real…

🔍 Kanban velocity report vs. Jira's native charts: Which actually helps your team? 🎯
Kanban teams need a consolidated view of completed work over time to track velocity trends, compare performance across one or multiple teams, and spot changes in delivery stability. Without this visibility, teams struggle to answer critical questions: "How much work do we typically complete each week?" "Is our delivery…

📣 Agile Reports & Gadgets 9.0 expands with Created vs. Resolved Charts and WIP Charts 🚀
Delivery problems don't announce themselves. Backlog grows quietly. Work stays in progress longer than anyone intended. By the time the slowdown becomes obvious, the window to course-correct is already closing. That's exactly the gap Agile Reports & Gadgets 9.0 is designed to close. This release introduces two new chart…

🔍 Agile WIP Charts 1.0: From invisible bottlenecks to real-time flow control 🚀
Some problems only become visible after the damage is already done. A work item quietly stalls in Ready for Testing for three weeks. Code review times creep from one day to three. A handful of items sit blocked for months while the team keeps pushing forward – unaware. Reactive discovery is the enemy of flow. That's…

🎯 Turn delivery throughput data into actionable insights: Agile Throughput Charts 1.0 🚀
Modern delivery excellence depends on two fundamental principles: treating your delivery system as a continuous flow and driving improvement through data-informed decisions. Think of your workflow as a network of interconnected pipelines. Work items flow through these channels, and throughput becomes your essential…

👤 Individual velocity chart explained: Measure what each team member actually delivers 📊
Agile teams often struggle to see how individual contributors perform across sprints. Without per-user metrics, you're left guessing who's overloaded, who's consistently undercommitting, and where bottlenecks actually occur. The result? Unbalanced workloads, missed deadlines, and sprint planning based on gut feeling rather…

📈 Jira burnup chart: why Agile teams upgrade to track scope and progress across any workflow
A burnup chart tracks two things simultaneously: how much work your team has completed and how the total scope has evolved. Unlike a burndown chart, which only shows remaining work, a burnup makes scope changes visible the moment they occur. Jira's native burnup chart covers the basics, displaying Work Scope, Scope…

📉 Jira burndown chart: What it does, where it has limits, and how to extend it
A burndown chart for Jira answers one question every Agile team asks during a sprint: Are we going to finish on time? By plotting remaining work against time, it gives teams an early signal when scope or pace is drifting, before the end of the sprint makes it obvious. This guide covers how Jira's built-in burndown chart…

📣 Agile Reports & Gadgets expands with Cumulative Flow, Monte Carlo & Throughput Charts 🚀
Every agile team eventually hits the same wall: you have metrics, but not a system. You can see velocity, but not flow. You can measure output, but not predictability. Individual charts answer individual questions - but they rarely tell the full story. That's exactly what Broken Build set out to fix with Agile Reports &…

📊 Cycle Time Chart deep dive: Moving beyond Jira's native limitations ⚡
Agile teams constantly face this challenge: work starts, effort is invested, but nobody can confidently answer "how long will this actually take?" Without visibility into delivery speed, planning becomes guesswork, bottlenecks stay hidden, and stakeholder conversations rely on assumptions rather than data. The Cycle Time…
