From the GreenHopper Chart Board you can display the Burndown Chart for each Watched Field. Learn more about these charts here.

To view the burndown chart by custom field,

  1. Log into JIRA.
  2. Select Agile > Classic in the top navigation bar. Then select Classic Chart Board from the drop-down below the project name.
  3. Select your project from the project dropdown in the top left of the Chart Board (next to 'CHART BOARD'), if it is not already selected.
  4. Select the version that you want to view the chart for in the 'View Version' dropdown, then select 'BURNDOWN CHART', the custom field, and 'DAILY'/'BY CHILDREN' from the dropdowns next to it. The burndown chart of the custom field's number of units will display (see screenshot below).
    (info) You custom field's 'number of units' could relate to anything you have defined for that field - for example, 'story points'.
    • You can toggle the information in the chart on and off, by checking or unchecking the items in the legend under the chart.
    • You can print the data as a chart, by clicking the 'Views' menu and clicking 'Printable'.
  5. The burndown chart provides you with the following information:
    • Burndown ('DAILY' only) — The custom field's number of units remaining until the version release date.
    • Guideline ('DAILY' only) — The ideal burndown. This is computed with the remaining estimates, not the original estimates of the number of custom field units at the version's start date. Hence, this calculation makes the guideline slope more accurate and precise.
    • Required Daily Burndown Rate ('DAILY' only) — The daily rate to required to attain your goal.
    • Master remaining values ('BY CHILDREN' only) — The number of custom field units remaining in each child, time segment or 'iteration'.
    • Forecast curves (dashed lines) — Forecasts of the curves based on historic information.

Daily

A 'Custom Statistic' field value will be burned as soon as this issue is associated with a resolution. You will then be able to track the sum of this field value for all unresolved issues in the displayed version.
