Report Usage
This report comes in the form of a bar chart report. It can be used for SCRUM teams. It represents the workload of Jira users who have any workload for the chosen sprint. On the Y-axis user can see the numerical representation of the selected value and on the X-axis the user can see the names of Jira users.
Specific functionality:
On the report card user is able to change Sprints. There is a dropdown that shows all Sprints related to the chosen board. Moreover, it shows active, future, and completed sprints.
At the top, there is a total value from every user compared to the set capacity.
The report contains the board name of the chosen one at the top. By clicking on it, you will be redirected to this board in Jira.
While hovering the bar, a tooltip appears. It shows capacity, assigned workload, available workload, and excessive workload.
If the capacity is 0, it is not shown on the report. In this case, all bars are going to be the same color due to the hub color theme.
By clicking on the bar, the sub-table will be open. It shows all issues assigned to the chosen Jira user and related to the selected sprint. This table also contains the total number of issues for this user within selected configurations and a link to the list of these issues on Jira (View in issue navigator).
