Estimation accuracy

Report Usage

This report comes in the form of bar chart reports. It shows the average work ratio of a user based on a selected issue status. On the Y-axis user can see the percentage line and on the X-axis the user can see Jira users' names, who have the worklogs within the selected period.

Specific functionality:

  • At the top of the report card, we have a date bar swap. It allows users to change the represented time frame quickly.

  • The green line represents the average trend in case if user switches it on. It shows the average value of the average work ratio within selected users.

  • The red line represents the accuracy threshold in case it was specified by the user. It shows the allowed level of estimation inaccuracy. If the Jira user has exceeded the norm his bar will be highlighted with a different color. This line will be shown only in case the user has a specified accuracy threshold.

  • While hovering the user bar, a tooltip appears. It shows the amount of issues, average estimation accuracy value, and percent above the average.

Setting up a report

The report has 5 tabs of configurations: Data source, Parameters, Display, Subtable, Description.

Data source

Configure and manage the source of data for generating reports.

Parameters

Allow users to tailor the report to their specific needs and preferences.

Completion status(es) let the user select all status(es) that represent issue completion and should be included in the calculation.

Period lets the user select the time unit to customize the displayed data.

Accuracy threshold lets the user select the allowed level of estimation inaccuracy. The maximum value can be 500%. Accuracy level for estimates: 100% means exact match; 150% means the estimate can be up to 1.5x less than logged. E.g., 100% = 10h estimate matches 10h logged. If it is settled as 0, it won`t be shown on the report.

Display

Manage the visual appearance and presentation of the report, including the visibility of specific elements and the formatting of data.

Show average toggle lets the user show the average line or not.

The average value counts as the sum of the average work ratio of all Jira users divided by a number of Jira users. It allows us to compare the average time indicators within selected Jira users.

This tab lets the user manage the display of columns in a subtable by adding, removing, or rearranging them.

 

Columns let the user manage the display of columns in the table of the report by adding, removing, or rearranging them.
