The Fix Version Release Gantt Chart Report helps visualize the progress of each release and monitor issue resolution. Here's a detailed look at what the report offers and how it can benefit your project tracking.

A Gantt chart is a widely-used in project management reporting and visualizes tasks and their timelines, making it easy to see how different elements of a project are progressing. In the context of this report, the Fix Version Release Gantt Chart focuses on fix versions in the DEMO Gamma project, offering a clear and detailed view of the release schedule over time.

Key Features of the Report

1. Timeline View that maps out each fix version’s start and release date. This allows to see how version releases are scheduled, track upcoming releases, and ensure that all versions are on track for timely completion. Each row in the chart represents a specific fix version, giving a clear overview of all ongoing and upcoming releases.

2. Version Information:

• Start and Release Dates: For each version, the chart highlights the start date and the anticipated or actual release date, helping teams align their work with these key milestones.

• Version Status Icons: Custom icons indicate the status of each version, making it easy to see at a glance whether a version is unreleased, released, or archived.
  

Tracking Issue Resolution

Beyond just showing version timelines, the Fix Version Release Gantt Chart also incorporates issue resolution data for each version, helping to track progress toward full completion.

• Issues Resolved Bars: Each row includes a sparkline chart that shows the trend of resolved issues over time.

• Issues Resolved %: a percentage that shows how many issues have been resolved for each version.

Filtering and Sorting

To ensure that the data is focused and relevant, the report provides filtering and sorting capabilities that enhance its usability:

• Project Filter: The current view is filtered to show data for the DEMO Gamma project, but can be adjusted for another project.

• Fix Versions: This report only displays the latest fix versions, but you can easily switch to all fix versions or select a specific version.

• Sorted by Start Date: Versions are automatically sorted by their start date, from the earliest to the most recent, making it easy to follow the timeline chronologically.

• Versions with no Issues: The report filters out versions with no associated issues, but it still shows versions with 0% progress if they have issues.
