If 2025 had one theme for Time in Status, it would be this: build for the future without slowing down the improvements you feel today. A lot of our work this year happened behind the scenes (the ki...
To answer the question "What does success look like in Jira?", you need goals you can actually measure. A strong Key Performance Indicator (KPI) transforms abstract goals into concrete values. For ...
Most teams don’t hate standups—they hate wasting them. You gather smart people, trade updates, then walk away with the same invisible queues, the same stuck reviews, the same “we’ll pick it up today....
“Your tasks have been stuck in ‘In Progress’ for so long that we've already thought about naming the status after you.” We all know that column. The cozy, non-committal space on your Jira boa...
The key to true efficiency isn't just tracking how long things take (duration); it's tracking how they move (transitions). If you aren't analyzing rework, your velocity is likely hiding substantial w...
When your Jira projects hit five figures in issue count, you start paying a “performance tax.” Boards feel heavy. Filters crawl. Dashboards gasp for air. The hard question shows up: should we split t...
Progress feels slow, even when the velocity is high. That's a common Jira problem. Velocity reports don't show hidden bottlenecks. To see the real issues, you need to ''analyze'' your Cycle ...
Imagine standing in a daily stand-up and asking: “Why is this task still In Progress?” And instead of vague guesses, everyone can see “3d 06h in In Progress” right on the card. That’s precisely...
AI should shorten the path from question to answer—not add ceremony. That’s exactly why we built FlagFocus, a new Rovo Agent for the Time in Status app for Jira. Instead of yet another length...
Busy boards. Moving cards. No outcomes. If that sounds familiar, you’re looking at zombie work—tickets that shuffle between steps without actually getting closer to “Done.” This guide presents a ca...
When issues bounce between statuses, the calendar moves but outcomes don’t. Let’s make those loops visible—calmly, and with the tools you already use. Status Churn refers to the avoidable back-and-...
Hey, Community! We've all been there. You're in a meeting, looking at a burndown chart that seems fine, but you know your team is feeling the pressure. Work feels slow, deadlines are tight, and you...
How teams get calmer dashboards and faster flow with a few small changes. Across large projects, the pattern repeats: dashboards disagree, reviews take longer than anyone expects, SLAs blame the wr...
There are two kinds of year-end reviews: the ones that produce 63 slides and zero change, and the ones that quietly fix the two or three things slowing you down. Let’s aim for #2. This is...
A quick intro: you’re probably measuring the wrong clock Most “why is MTTR up?” puzzles aren’t talent problems; they’re measurement problems. If you time tickets across weekends, mix “Doing” with “...
Apptoberfest is where customers meet the humans behind the apps—so we invited you into our Ukrainian Jira Kitchen and cooked a project like borscht. Yes, there are beets. Yes, there are jokes. Yes, i...
If you opened a work item in Jira Cloud this week and thought, “where did Status go?”—you’re not alone. Atlassian has relocated the Status control from the right-hand context panel to the area below ...
The short of it Added work inside a sprint isn’t a failure — it’s a signal. If we don’t intentionally identify and explain what was added (and what we traded off to make room), three things happen:...
Quarterly reviews don’t have to be a three-hour tour through 47 charts and a collective shrug. A quarter is long enough to see real patterns—and short enough to change course—if your report tells a s...
The launch of Atlassian Analytics kicked up a lot of buzz: What is it? How does it work? What is it for? What can it actually do? Does this mean Marketplace reporting apps should pack up and leave be...
Sales leaders don’t need another vanity chart. They need to identify where time is actually lost: first response, legal redlines, security reviews, and handoffs. Time in Status reads your Jira workfl...
Hey, Atlassian Community, In this guide, we will explain how you can use Timepiece to track Cycle Time trends for different story point values across your latest sprints. As agile teams grow, the...
A practical guide with real examples Automatic time tracking in Jira Service Management isn’t about start/stop buttons—it’s about reading your workflow signals. When work starts, pauses, or finishe...
You’ve been there before. The burndown chart looks okay, but the team doesn’t. During stand-ups, one developer looks exhausted while another seems to take it easy. You feel that the workload is unbal...
From opinions to evidence with the Sprint Performance Report (now on Data Center & Cloud) There’s a special kind of retro that starts with “What went well?” and ends with “Let’s try harder next...
