Sprint Burndown Burnup Chart Gadget

Gadget Title

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

Board

Choose the Scrum board that contains your Agile sprint.

Sprint

Choose the sprint for which to display the data.
If you select Latest sprint (auto), the most recent sprint that is either closed or active will be used. Use this option if you want to not set the sprint manually all the time.

Calculate by

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

• Story Points - the default value; use this option if the issues are estimated in Story Points. If the issues are from team-managed projects, select Story Point Estimate instead.

• Original Time Estimate - use this if you use time estimates; the calculation will be done in hours. The Scope will be calculated as the sum of the Original Estimate field of all the issues from the sprint, and each time an issue is marked as done, the Burned and Remaining lines will increase/decrease with the number of hours that are set at Original Estimate for that issue. This option does not consider the time spent (work logged).

• Remaining Time Estimate - select this option if you want to track by Remaining Estimate; the calculation will be done in hours. When this option is selected, the chart displays only the Remaining and Ideal Burndown lines. The Remaining is calculated as the sum of the Remaining Estimate field of all the issues from the sprint, regardless of their status. This option does not consider the time spent (work logged).

• Time Remaining & Time Spent - use this option if you use time estimates and your team logs the worked time on a daily basis; the calculation will be done in hours. The Scope will be calculated as the sum of the Time Spent and the Time Remaining of all the issues from the sprint. Burned is calculated as the sum of Time Spent of all the issues from the sprint plus the sum of Time Remaining on all the issues from the sprint that are done. Remaining is calculated as Scope minus Burned. This option does not consider the Original Estimate field.

If you check Ignore the time logged before the start of the sprint, the calculation will be based only on the work logged during the sprint. The Scope will be calculated as the sum of the Time Spent and the Time Remaining of all the issues at the time when the sprint was started. Burned is calculated as the sum of Time Spent of all the issues from the sprint plus the sum of Time Remaining on all the issues from the sprint that are done. Remaining is calculated as Scope minus Burned. This option does not consider the Original Estimate field.

• Issue Count - use this if you want the calculation to be done by the number of issues.

• Other numerical custom field defined in your Jira instance - pickup the numerical custom field that you use to track or estimate the issues.

Subtasks

Choose how the gadget should handle subtasks. You can choose between:

• Exclude the subtasks - the default value; use this option if you don’t want the subtasks to be included in the calculation.

• Include the subtasks - select this option if you want the calculation to include the subtasks along with their parent items.

• Process only the subtasks - select this option if you want to calculate only the subtasks and ignore all other items.

Series to Display

Choose what series to display in the chart. You can select one or more options:
Ideal Burndown- the ideal line specific to a burndown chart. It indicates how the remaining work should evolve during the sprint in the ideal case. It is calculated based on Scope (see below).
Ideal Burnup- the ideal line specific to a burnup chart. It shows how the done (burned) work should evolve during the sprint in the ideal case. It is calculated based on Scope (see below). This option is not available if "Calculate by" is set to "Remaining Time Estimate".
Remaining- the total amount of remaining work at that time; it is specific to the burndown chart.
Burned- the total amount of work done at that time; it is specific to the burnup chart. This option is not available if "Calculate by" is set to "Remaining Time Estimate".
Scope- represents the current sprint goal - the total amount of work to be done in the sprint. Select this if you want to see the changes in the sprint scope over time. This option is not available if "Calculate by" is set to "Remaining Time Estimate".

Also, choose how the ideal series will be calculated. By initial scope means that the first value of the Ideal Burndown line is the value of the Scope series at the start of the sprint, while by current scope means that the first value of the Ideal Burndown line is the current (latest) value of the Scope series. This setting also applies to the Ideal Burnup line.

"Done" means

Specify how the gadget should consider issues as done when determining the work completed.

The default option is Issue is in last column of the selected board, which means that issues are considered done when they reach the last column of the board or, more exactly, a status that is mapped to the last board column.

Choose Issue is in one of these statuses, and then select one or more workflow statuses, to consider issues as done when they reach one of these custom statuses.

Show legend

Check this if you want the chart legend to be displayed.

Display the data values at the top of the chart

Check this option if you want the gadget to display some of the key data values at the top of the chart.

Tilted labels for x-axis (avoid overlapping)

Check this to avoid overlapping of the x-axis labels.

Show data table

Check this option if you want a data table to be displayed along with the chart. The Data tab displays a sprint report based on the current status, which includes a list of completed and not-completed issues.

Open data tab first

Check this option if you want the gadget to open on the Data tab first (instead of Chart tab as default). Note that the tab order will remain unchanged (Chart, then Data); only the initial view will switch to the Data tab.

Hide weekends

Check this option if you want the chart not to show weekend days (Saturday and Sunday).

Display horizontal gridlines

Check this option if you want the chart to display gridlines for the vertical axis.

Refresh cached data at next display

This gadget uses data caching for faster display, which means that some data resulted after processing are saved and reused next time the gadget is loaded. If you check it, the cache of the gadget will be deleted and recreated at the next reloading. This setting is not persistent.

Enable scroll zoom

Check this if you want to be able to zoom-in while scrolling with the mouse wheel over the chart.

Automatically assign colors

Check this if you want the chart to automatically assign colors for the series.

Custom colors

Select any custom color you want the series to be displayed on by either entering the color's hexadecimal code or picking a color.

You can also use the Copy and Import buttons to copy and import the color configuration to gadgets of the same type.
