Understanding time in Jira fields sounds simple - until someone asks you to show proof. Auditors, compliance teams, and product managers all use Jira as a system of record. But when the questi...
Over the past year, Time in Status Dashboard for Jira has grown far beyond its original purpose. What started as a simple way to measure how long issues spent in each workflow status has steadily evo...
Do you know where your Jira workflow is slowing down? Understanding how long issues stay in each status is important, because it helps you see which part of the workflow takes the most time and ide...
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...
Jira is one of the most powerful tools for managing software development and delivery. But when teams start asking deeper questions: Where exactly are we losing time? Why do bugs get stuck? Ho...
When I started building work item (issue) history analytics apps for Jira Cloud, one design decision surprised some users early on: searches were intentionally scoped by project. At first glance,...
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 ...
Many Jira reporting tools present information through dashboards. Dashboards are not answers. They are assumptions — representations of questions someone decided in advance were important. Once ...
If you work with Jira long enough, you’ll repeatedly hear terms like Cycle Time, Lead Time, and even “Time Between Statuses.” Agile literature offers conceptual definitions, but when these ideas hit...
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...
Artificial intelligence has already reshaped the way teams use Jira. From smart issue triage to suggested field values, to low-code rule builders in Automation for Jira (A4J), AI is making i...
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 ...
