Sprint Health Gadget

 (tick) 

Seeing a summary of the issues in a sprint in a handy color-coded bar graph.

Notes...
  • The colors in this gadget match the colors in your column configuration.

  • The work completed is calculated based on the estimation statistic used for your board. This is reflected by the green part of the progress bar. For example, if you have 50 story points in a sprint and you have 3 issues with 10 story points that have been resolved, the 'Work complete' will be 20% (i.e. 10 out of 50 story points).

  • The gadget won't reflect the progress from work logged in the 'Remaining Estimate' and 'Time Spent' fields in JIRA.

  • Adding or removing an issue from a sprint, after it has started is considered a change of scope. The percentage is calculated using the statistic that is configured for the board. For example, if you started a sprint with 50 story points and add an issue with 5 story points, the Sprint Health gadget would show a 10% scope change.

  • If you add/remove issues that don't have estimates, the scope change will not be altered.

  • If you're using Time Tracking, Scope Change will not be shown.

  • The "blocker" field counts all blockers that are in 'To Do' or 'In Progress'.

See Configuring estimation and tracking for more information.

Notes...
  • Your JIRA administrator must have configured the Bamboo plugin on your JIRA server, if you want to add the Bamboo Charts gadget to your dashboard.

  • When you add this gadget to your JIRA dashboard, you may see a message similar to this:

    The website (container) you have placed this gadget on is unauthorized. Please contact your system administrator to have it approved.

    To fix this problem, you will need to configure your Bamboo site to allow JIRA to draw information from it via gadgets on the JIRA dashboard. To do this, your JIRA administrator first needs to define your JIRA site as an OAuth consumer in Bamboo. You will then be required to perform a once-off authentication before your gadget will display correctly.

  • The horizontal axis represents the number of days the issues have stayed open, while the vertical axis represents the number of comments the issues have.
  • The bubble colors also indicate the correlation between days open and number of comments – with the color green indicating low values and the color red indicating high values.

    • Automatic refresh of Bubble Chart data every 15 minutes
    • Relative coloring to distinguish issues receiving more comments from issues receiving fewer comments
