Cumulative Flow Diagram (CFD)

Widget title

Choose what to display in the title bar of the widget.

Data source

Select the type of Data source used by the widget:

• The Board of your team.

• A Shared query containing the items that you want to track. Make sure that the specified query is shared with the users who will also visualize this widget.

Calculate by

Specify on which criteria the calculation is to be performed. You can choose between:

• Story Points - the default value; use this if you want the chart to be made by summing up the Story Points of the items in each band.

• Original Estimate -use this if you want the chart to be made by summing up the Original Estimate of the items in each band; the values will be displayed in hours.

• Work item Count - use this if you want the chart to be made by the number of items.

• Other numerical custom fields defined in your organization - pickup the numerical custom field that you use to track or estimate the work items.

Time interval

Represents the time interval displayed by the widget.

You can choose from multiple options:

Custom dates - choose this option if you want to manually enter a Start date and an End date.

Dates of a sprint - Choose this option if you want the widget to use the start and end dates of an existing sprint. Only the dates are considered (not also the hours). The start of the interval will be the start date of the sprint with time at the start of day, while the end of the interval will be the end date of the sprint with the time at the end of day. When enabled, you’ll need to select the project and team the sprint belongs to. If you choose the Latest sprint (auto), the date range will automatically match the most recent sprint. If you manually select a specific sprint, any changes made to its dates on the board will be automatically reflected in the widget, without the need to reconfigure it.

A number of days back - By choosing this option, the widget will use a rolling time interval with a number of days back to the current day.

You can also check the Continue to display data after end date option in the More Settings tab if you want the chart to still display data even if the end date has passed.
