Configuring Release Prediction Chart
To set up the Release Prediction Chart, fill out the chart configuration fields:
Fields description
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
SCRUM Board | Choose the SCRUM board for your report. This gives you the flexibility to display what you need on the chart. To do that, just create a filter for your board. For Release Prediction Chart to display data, there should be at least two sprint on the SCRUM board. |
| Start reporting at | Start date for the report. This is a required field. |
| Backlog extra issues | The number of issues from the backlog that will be included in the report. The default number of issues is set to 0. |
| 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%. If you don't want to show the deviation lines, just select "(Hide lines)" option from the select list. The chart will show the deviation lines based on the future Sprint estimates and the selected deviation. The selected deviation percent is applied to the projected release date and it results the optimistic release date and pessimistic release date. You can define what you consider to be a norm as a deviation % from sprints estimates. For example if you set the deviation to 30% and your projected release date is 4/02/2018 and your team is moving faster by 30% than it has been estimated then your release date should be 2/04/2018. If you allow your team to be 30% behind the schedule, your release date will be 5/28/2018. As long as a team is 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. 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 |
This is it! When you are done with the setup, click the Save button and a Release Prediction Chart will be displayed.
