Documentation for GreenHopper 4.4.x . Documentation for other versions of JIRA Agile is available too.
GreenHopper is now called JIRA Agile. Learn more.

From the GreenHopper Chart Board you can display the Burnup Chart for each Custom Statistic Field. Learn more about these charts here.

To view the burnup chart by custom field,

  1. Log into JIRA.
  2. Click the 'Agile' link's down-arrow in the top navigation bar and select 'Chart Board' from the resulting dropdown menu. The 'Chart Board' will be displayed.
  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 'BURNUP CHART', the custom field, and 'DAILY'/'BY CHILDREN' from the dropdowns next to it. The burnup chart of the custom field's number of units will display (see screenshot below).
    (info) Your custom field's 'number of units' could relate to anything you have defined for that field - for example, 'business value'.
    • The 'View Version' dropdown only includes versions which contain issues that belong to at least one unreleased Fix Version (and belong to a project that is GreenHopper-enabled).
    • The chart's 'Start Date' and 'End Date' are the Fix Version's dates defined on your Planning Board. If not defined on your Planning Board, the 'End Date' is the 'Release Date' defined in the JIRA version; or today's date, if not defined in JIRA.
    • 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 burnup chart provides you with the following information:
    • Burnup chart ('DAILY' only) — The custom field's number of units (for example, business value) being gained in the lead-up to the version release date.
    • Burnup chart - Ongoing (dotted line) ('DAILY' only) — The number of remaining custom field units gained since midnight on the current day. The gradient of this curve may change throughout this day.
    • Burnup chart - Trend (dashed line) ('DAILY' only) — The projection of remaining custom field units to be gained until the version release date, based on the actual unit gain data from the start of the project.
    • Guideline ('DAILY' only) — The ideal burnup. 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 burnup rate ('DAILY' only) — The daily gain rate of custom field units required to attain your goal.
    • Required daily burnup rate - Ongoing (dotted line) ('DAILY' only) — The daily gain rate of custom field units required to attain your goal, since midnight on the current day. The gradient of this curve may change throughout this day.
    • Master burned values ('BY CHILDREN' only) — The number of custom field units remaining by children.
      (info) Typically, 'children' relates to a series of customised time segments with each 'child' representing a 'sub' version, such as a 'milestone', 'iteration' or 'sprint'.

Daily

An issue watched field value will be added to the total burned value as soon as this issue is associated with a resolution. You will then be able to track the sum of burned value for all issues in the displayed version.

By Children

If the selected version is a Master version version, you can see the burnup chart of this version grouped by children. For example, a release burnup by Sprints.
