Fields description
| Field | Description | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Display data for | You can build your report on a Jira project, SCRUM board, or a saved filter. Project If you select a Jira project, the report will show how the work is being delivered inside a particular project and will calculate work on the tickets belonging to the selected project only.
SCRUM board If you select a SCRUM board, the report will show how work is being delivered by a particular SCRUM team.
Saved filter This is the most flexible way to display data for the Burnup / Burndown report. You can create any filter in Jira to display the tickets that you need, save it, and select for the report. You can use it for Program level reporting if your company uses SAFe.

| Filter by | This is the additional filter that you can select for a quick tailored view. If you selected a Project, you can additionally filter the report by Product and Release. Note that a Sprint is a notion of a board and is not present for a project report. To view the Sprint report, select a SCRUM board or a saved filter.
If you selected a SCRUM board, you can additionally filter the report data by Product and Sprint. Note that a Release (version) is a notion of a board and is not present for a SCRUM board report. If you want to display data for a particular Release, select a project.
If you selected a saved filter, you cannot filter additionally by version or a sprint. The Release (version) is the notion of a project and a saved filter can have multiple sprints for the same time period so there would be no way for the report to know which sprint to pick. However, you can work around this on the stage of creating a saved filer and filter out any tickets that you need.
| ||
| Start reporting at | Start date for the report. If you select a start date that is in the middle of the sprint, the report autocorrects this date in order for you to have the most accurate data grouped by whole sprints. | ||
| End reporting at | The end date of the report. If the field is not filled in, the end date is set to the current date. Note that if you select the end date that is in the middle of the sprint, the report autocorrects this date in order for you to have the most accurate data grouped by whole sprints.

| Report cumulates | Time metrics for your report, measured in man-days (MD) or story points (SP). | ||
| Deviation lines at | User defined acceptable deviation from the plan, measured in % and can be between 10% and 90%. Deviation is a difference between the planned work (estimates in SP or MD) and actual delivered work (actuals in SP or MD) for a selected time frame. You can define what you consider to be a norm as a deviation % from estimates. For example, if you set the deviation to 20%, you allow your team to be 20% behind the schedule. This gives certain relief to the teams, as it is difficult to provide accurate estimates but as long as they are within the deviation norm, the team progress is on track, and you do not get warnings every time when the actuals line is below the estimates. After you set the deviation percentage, the deviation lines appear on the chart and show the area around the estimates where the delayed actual progress is still considered as on track. Everything below the Deviation (late) line is considered to be in danger zone as this means that the work is behind the plan for more than an established deviation norm. The danger zone is marked as a transparent red area below the Deviation (late) line. Thus, the main thing is not to let the actuals line get into the danger zone. | ||
| Refresh Interval | The interval at which you want the gadget to be updated. |
