GreenHopper Burndown charts

[KP11]

We are having issues in the burndown chart.

Under Report

1. Time spent(green) is not showing. How to make it visible

2. Also the graphs shows flat line for log work and hours spent. ( how to adjust scale?)

See my sample chart below. You can attach your chart to this issue: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/TST-50391

[KP11]

Files attached to TST-50391

[KP11]

Is there a way to display the story points associated with an issue? I thought the defaults was sub task. See attached record

[KP11]

Does the Issue Type have to be story or can we change it to a default sub task?

[KP11]

Attached to TST-50391 is another burndown report graph based on the configure values.
It appears when we add issues it will show on the bottom of the graph instead on top. See 3 files Multi*

[KP11]

Does the burndown chart work with linked issue as subtasks? Does it get the estimated time or do we have to use the STORY POINT field and generate a number?

[Joanna _Yahoo_]

Is Task Hours a custom field that you have configured?

[KP11]

I just asked the Admin. Looks like it was created a 5 years ago!!!! So it should not have any effect!

[Joanna _Yahoo_]

So if you add an issue, or change estimate of an issue (story points or Remaining Time) or you create sub-tasks (and estimate those) *after* start of the sprint -- this is all considered scope change.

[KP11]

Do you know the difference between task hours and original estimate?

Looks like the estimate is based on task hours and not original estimate field that you enabled recently. It affects the graph lines as well. Guideline also looks off the slope base don the DOC definition

[Joanna _Yahoo_]

No, the charts will not show linked issues. Only parent issues and sub-task issue types.

Also, remember that GreenHopper remembers various statistics at the START of the sprint. Everything after that - adding issues, estimating, removing issues - is considered SCOPE CHANGE. So in Burndown, your "Guideline" is based on the values at start of sprint. It won't change after that. Only burnup , burndown change.

[Joanna _Yahoo_]

Hi KP11,

I've taken a look at all your screenshots attached to TST-50391. The last attachment (https://jira.atlassian.com/secure/attachment/91868/Multi_Language%20-%20Agile%20Board%20-%20iBASEt%20Jira.pdf) appears to have a burndown (red) line and burnup (green) line, as you had originally wanted. So that appears to be working fine. Now for the screenshot MES_SAMPLING- AgileBoard- iBASEt JIRA.pdg (https://jira.atlassian.com/secure/attachment/91858/MES_SAMPLING%20-%20Agile%20Board%20-%20iBASEt%20Jira.pdf)--> you appear to have set the Estimation Statistic = Story Points but not actually estimated any of the issues - they show 0. Can you open up those issues and see if they do have Story Point values estimated? The field Story Points can be made visible on the screen by going into JIRA Administration and adding the field into the relevant screens (e.g. Default Screen) or another screen if you have customized your JIRA to use different screens for different issues types/projects. Let me know.

[KP11]

We had to add the Story Point field. They were hidden and blank.

We are still trying to figure out if Linked Issues from parent issue are counted as subtasks and will show the estimated time.

We also assumed that adding another issue would not start a line at the bottom of the graph.

That was attached as the Multi_language board.

[KP11]

On the burnup (green) line we wanted to know why it started at the bottom. Teh user thought it would be higher up on the line. Do burnup lines always start at the bottom?

We added the story point field and will test.

[KP11]

[Joanna _Yahoo_]

I think I can address this even without the screenshot. The burndown chart will show the Estimation Statistic and Time-Tracking options that you have configured on your particular board under Estimation tab (go to Configure > Estimation). If you choose to Time Tracking = None, you will not see your hours burnup (the green line). If you choose Time Tracking = Remaining Estimate and Time Spent, then you will. But only assuming that you have actually been logging time.

[Joanna _Yahoo_]

Keep in mind that you have to be the Board Owner or a jira-administrator to edit the board configuration options.

[KP11]

I am the board owner and have Time Tracking = Remaining Estimate and Time Spent.

How do i upload a screen shot. Cut & paste above does not look good,

Issues can be estimated when in Plan mode to get an idea of how much work is being committed to in a sprint. Read more about estimation and tracking.

Estimate issues in Plan mode by entering values for Story Points. Your velocity from sprint to sprint will be measured against these estimates.

You need to give us a screenshot.
