Summary

Backlog Count by Issue type

JIRA

Provides a detailed breakup of the total issue count in the backlog based on issue types. enabling effective issue management and prioritization.

Summary

Backlog Count by Status

JIRA

Provides a detailed breakup of the total issue count in the backlog based on Status. enabling effective Status management and resolution.

Summary

Defect Count by Type

JIRA

Provides a detailed breakup of the total issue count in the backlog based on Defect types. enabling effective defect management and resolution.

Backlog Health

The KPI has 2 data points

  1. Defect count without story link - Tagging defects to stories is a good practice as it helps in requirement traceability and enables the team to optimize regression testing effort for every release

  2. Test cases without story link - Tagging test cases to stories empowers the team to track the coverage of execution cycle (both manual and automation)

JIRA/Zephyr/XRay

# of total defects without Story link: Count of all open defects that have been raised in the last 15 months

# of total non-regression test cases without story link

Backlog Health

Defect Reopen rate

The widget should show

  1. Reopened /Total

  2. Reopen Rate

  3. Avg. Time to Reopen

JIRA

Defect Reopen Rate measures number of defects reopened out of the total number of defects raised.

Backlog Health

Backlog Readiness

The widget shows

  1. Ready backlog in terms on issues and Story Points

  2. Backlog strength

  3. Readiness cycle time

JIRA

Ready Backlog = No. of issues which are refined in the backlog. This is identified through a status in jira/azureboards

Backlog Strength = Size of issues refined in the backlog / Average velocity of last 5 sprints

It is calculated in terms of no. of sprints. Recommended strength is 2 sprints

Readiness cycle time - average time taken for Backlog items to be refined

Backlog Health

Refinement Rejection Rate

The widget is a line graph which shows data for last 5 months.

Each month user gets to see.

  1. Total stories

  2. Accepted stories

  3. Rejected stories

JIRA

Refinement Rejection Rate measures the percentage of stories rejected during refinement as compared to the overall stories discussed.

Workflow status needs to be added in these 3 fields under mappings

  1. Ready for refinement status

  2. Accepted in refinement status

  3. Rejected in refinement status

Backlog Health

Product defects ageing by priority

The KPI measures the effectiveness of Defect Backlog prioritization and is useful for Product Owner, Scrum Master and the development team

JIRA

This groups all open production defects that are created in the last 15 months by standard ageing buckets - <1 Month, 1-3 Month, 3-6 Month, 6-12 Month, > 12 Month.

These defects can be filtered based on 'Priority'.

Backlog Health

Iteration Readiness

Depicts the readiness of a forthcoming iteration in relation to the quality of the Refined backlog. enabling effective iteration planning and execution.

JIRA

Depicts the readiness of a forthcoming iteration in relation to the quality of the Refined backlog. enabling effective iteration planning and execution.

Epic View

Epic Progress

Showcases the progress of each epic in a backlog, presenting the total count and percentage completion, assisting in the monitoring, and tracking of epic progress.

JIRA

Flow KPIs

Lead time

Lead Time is the time from the moment when the request was made by a client and placed on a board to when all work on this item is completed and the request was delivered to the client

JIRA

It is calculated as the sum of Ideation time, Development time & Release time

Flow KPIs

Time in Statuses (Cycle Time)

Ideation time (Intake to DOR): Time taken from issue creation to it being ready for Sprint

Development time (DOR to DOD): Time taken from start of work on an issue to it being completed in the Sprint as per DOD

Release time (DOD to Live): Time taken between story completion to it going live.

JIRA

Each of the KPIs are calculated in 'Days' . Lower the time, better is the speed & efficiency of that phase

Flow KPIs

Flow Load

It indicates how many items are currently in the backlog. This KPI emphasizes on limiting work in progress to enabling a fast flow of issues

JIRA

Flow KPIs

Flow Distribution

It evaluates the amount of each kind of work (issue types) which are open in the backlog over a period of time
