What is the most effective way to present or display a delay in Jira Align?

Hello,

What is the most effective way to present or display a delay in Jira Align? Is there an option to calculate the delay automatically based on the start and due dates?

Thank you!

Along with the Roadmap view, which can be manually set, the Program Board will show Planning Issues if for example a Sprint is delayed beyond the planned completion of the Feature.  Some organizations may also use the Status Report and set the Epic Health and specifically the Schedule Health.

Hi, is it possible to calculate and display a delay before the actual end date, allowing us to foresee any potential delays before the epic is completed?

Thank you!

Hi @Liora Naginsky ,

I think you can try to display a delay in your Jira Align by using the Roadmap view to show the planned versus actual timeline. You can also highlight the delayed items with different colors or markers.

Or, you can use gant charts to show the timeline, dependencies, and where delays are occurring with different colors to highlight the delayed tasks.

Yes. You can create a calculated field or use Jira Align’s reporting capabilities to determine the delay. These delays can be calculated as the difference between the 'Due Date' and the 'Actual End Date.' 

Hope this helps.
