Summarizing buckets

[Gilad Waldman]

Hello community

While evaluating JPD, i wonder if possible to add a summarizing row that will show total effort per bucket? 

In the below image you can see my buckets ("in progress","next sprint" etc) and per each one i wish to know the total value of the "effort". this allows me to better plan my sprints/quarter.

If I understand correctly, you'd like to sum up the effort field per bucket/swimlane. You can achieve this quite simply! There's a "sum" functionality on the screen you're looking at, although this feature is a bit hidden. Click on the bucket row, select the relevant empty field and choose the relevant option: 

 

Enjoy!

Exactly what i was looking for! thank you.

Hi Gilad,

Interesting question. In the past, I used Structure (Marketplace plugin) for that. Not sure if Structure supports pulling issues from JPD though, I'll test it for you tomorrow.

When we switched to JPD, we shifted to a more Kanban-style approach that didn't need as much quarterly planning and date commitments.
