This view has KPIs that explain the health and hygiene of Product Backlog. It is recommended to the be referred by the complete Scrum team that includes the Product owner, Scrum Master, developers, QA etc.
KPI Name and brief | Rationale for capturing the KPI | Tools | Definition | Configurations |
Issues without Story link | The KPI has 2 data points
| 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 | |
Defect Reopen rate | The widget should show
| JIRA | Defect Reopen Rate measures number of defects reopened out of the total number of defects raised. | |
Backlog Readiness | The widget shows
| 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 | |
Refinement Rejection Rate | The widget is a line graph which shows data for last 5 months. Each month user gets to see.
| 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
|
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'. | |
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 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.
