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...
Agile teams know that Jira is a powerful source of data, but raw data isn't enough. The real challenge is turning that information into actionable intelligence that drives smarter, faster decisions. ...
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 ...
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...
We've all been there. You open a spreadsheet to track project progress. It starts out simple — just a few columns, a handful of rows. Fast-forward a few months, and it's become a tangle of copy-pas...
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...
Accurately measuring team performance in Jira starts with clean, context-aware data. One of the biggest pitfalls in time-based reporting? Failing to exclude weekends, holidays, or off-hours. If you...

Sometimes, you just need fast answers. Whether you're preparing for a retro, analyzing a sprint, or wondering why that one issue has been stuck in "In Progress" for a week, Time in Status gives you c...
The title might sound provocative — but it reflects a very real truth: most software teams are far less efficient than they think. While metrics like velocity and cycle time ...
Introducing new metrics to an Agile team can often feel like walking a tightrope. One wrong move, and you’re either buried in pushback or politely ghosted in the next retro. While management sees val...
For Agile teams, tracking sprint progress is straightforward: tasks move from the backlog to 'done,' velocity is measured, and burndown charts provide quick health checks. However, beneath these surf...
