Enhanced reports

_{18 August 2014}

Reporting is a crucial part of any Agile development project. Good reports can help you plan more effectively and keep your team on track. 

Over the past few releases, we have progressively introduced enhanced reports via Labs. We're proud to announce that these reports have graduated from Labs in this release, and are now production-ready. Read about the new reports below.

The new Release Burndown helps you track your team's progress towards the completion of the work for a release (version). It is optimised for Scrum teams that work in sprints (as opposed to the Version report). We've designed it as a bar chart that helps you see exactly what is happening in each sprint. The chart also predicts the number of sprints that are required to finish the remaining work in the release, based on your team's velocity.

The Control Chart lets you see the cycle time of issues over time. We've completely overhauled this chart in this release, making it even easier for you to analyse your team's performance.

You'll find a range of design and usability improvements, such as better chart controls, issue clustering and a 'How to read this chart' section to help you understand how to use it. We've made changes under the covers as well, including improving the way the rolling average is calculated, and basing the standard deviation on the rolling average instead of the overall average.

Boards now show the assignees for issues in Plan mode (note, Work mode already shows assignees), making it easier for you to understand the workload of each team member:

• For issues: the assignee's profile picture is shown on the card.
• For sprints: the sprint header displays the profile pictures for the assignees of all issues in the sprint. A handy tooltip for each picture shows a summary of the work assigned to the user.
