Request to graph based on field value like story point.

[Elung Wu]

I can graph based on issue count. It will be great to graph based on values in the field like story points.

Hi @elu Can you describe in detail the graph you'd like to generate, please? In particular are you looking to plot "How many issues exist on a certain date with X story points?" (this should already be possible, by crafting a clever JQL query)

[Elung Wu]

I will like a graph where X axis is the date and Y axis is the cumulative total of the story points field with this JQL:

project = demo and "Story Points" is not empty AND status was not in ("Accepted")

• On 1/1/16, 1st issue = story points = 3, 2nd issue = story points = 5, 3rd issue = story points = 3. Graph will show 1/1/16 with 11 story points.
• On 1/2/16, 1st issue = story points = 3, 2nd issue = story points = 5. Graph will show 1/2/16 with 8 story points.
• On 1/3/16, 1st issue = story points = 3. Graph will show 1/3/16 with 3 story points.

[Elung Wu]

Just to be clear:

• On 1/1/16, all issues are not accepted.
• On 1/2/16, the 3rd issue has been accepted.
• On 1/3/16, the 2nd issue has been accepted.
• The graph becomes a story point burn down chart.

@eluwu I am looking for that feature as well. Jira is not providing simple project/release burndown charts where PO/Admin can manipulate with data. Javascript charts and StoryPoint summary could add this possibility.

I was just looking at how this could be implemented. But it appears that JIRA Software supports burndown charts with story points.

Do you have JIRA Software installed?

[Elung Wu]

I do have JIRA Software. It only does burndown chart of a current sprint. Past sprints will not be available.

[boydo]

@eluwu Using JIRA Software I am able to view burndown charts of past sprints based on story points. I access it via the "Reports" tab on the left hand sidebar of the Agile board. The URL I end up at is: https://<my-hostname>.atlassian.net/secure/RapidBoard.jspa?rapidView=1&view=reporting&chart=burndownChart

[Elung Wu]

Oh, that is only one sprint at a time, and not in a dashboard with other reports.

[Elung Wu]

Also, once this capability exists, I can do burn down based on any field and not limited to just sprint field.

Hi @eluwu and @kmazek

Thanks for the feature request, but I'm afraid I've decided not to implement this. The extra work required to allow story points to be graphed is quite substantial, and I don't believe the feature would get much widespread use.

Also, because JIRA Software supports "almost" everything you are asking for here, I think that the best long-term solution is for you to raise that as a feature request of JIRA Software. That product (as opposed to my simple add-on) is better placed to provide the functionality you require here...
