Is there a dashboard gadget to show number of features/epics worked on each sprint?

[Heidi Vanderholm]

I have just started using Dashboards and would love a view that shows me how many Features/Epics we're working on each Sprint. Is there a way for a gadget to show this? I know it's in Team Health, but I'd like to expand this and have some historical tracking. We are sometimes spread too thin because we're working on too many Features/Epics at once instead of just focusing on a few. It's a love/hate relationship with context switching.

Hi @Heidi Vanderholm ,

I feel that you are on the right track, it's always a pleasure to see a few people sharing the same concerns as I do.

Regarding your question - you can view it on the Pie Chart - just construct your JQL, specify it in the gadget and choose Statistic Type = Sprint.

If you need something more sophisticated with different capabilities (% change in comparison to the previous sprint, retrospections, drill-downs, several boards/teams in a single view, rendering statistics not only for sprints but also for months, quarters, half-years and years) you can try the app I developed -  Multi-team Scrum Metrics & Retrospective.

The issues presented below are just examples; in your case, they would be features/epics with different contexts.

Period = Sprints:

Period = Years (wth the drill-down to Half-years period feature):

Best regards,
Alexey

Hi @Heidi Vanderholm 

With the built-in dashboard gadgets, you could use the Two Dimensional Filter Statistics to display the specific Epics, and visually observe / count them.

For example, create a saved filter using your board filter as a starting point, adding some additional criteria:

yourBoardFilter AND issueType IN (Story, Task, Bug) AND parent IS NOT EMPTY

Adjusting that for the issues in your Sprint which have Feature / Epic parents.

Then add the gadget, selecting these options:

• select your saved filter
• XAxis: parent
• YAxis: Sprint
• Sort by: Natural
• Sort direction: Ascending
• Number of results: enter the number of sprints needed

If you need a different view (which does not required scrolling to count the epics), please check the Atlassian Marketplace for other reporting options.

Kind regards,
Bill
