I think I broke Jira's Sprint Reporting :|

Hi all,

 

Our company's using Jira cloud and we recently switched to Scrum (from Kanban).

In the past 2 + current sprint, we noticed that the built in SPrint reporting only reports the forecasted (committed) story points but the "done" ones were not being reported.

This means the burndown and velocity charts will always show "0" completed stories but if you manually extract the data in jira (sum up all the story points for issues completed within the sprint duration), you will get numbers.

Any general suggestions where I should take a look?

 

Thanks in adv.

Take a look at your Board settings -> Estimation and validate Estimation Statistic is Story Points.

And check to make sure the Done/Closed status is on your board as a Column

Aslo, I forgot to ask if you are using the JIRA Standard Project (Company Managed Project) or Next-Gen (Team Managed Project). They may be different configurations.

Kathi. Your second suggestion helped me.

The Estimation statistic is indeed "Story Points"

There's definitely a "Done" column.

BUT

In my effort to make it more "burdensome" to cancel issues (by dragging htem over to the "Cancel") column, I positionined the Canceled column AFTER done.

When I switched their positions, that fixed the reporting. Now I'm seeing the velocity/burndowns reporting "Done" tickets. :|

Huuuuge Thanks!!! :)

Just to be clear in case someone else lands here - the important bit for your sprint is that burn-down only happens when an issue is "done".  Jira defines this as "in a status that is in the last column on the board". 

It doesn't care what the status is, what the status category is (although that matters in the sprint report gadget), or what the resolution is.  Only "in the last column" matters.
