Creating story points widgets in JIRA is critical for tracking team progress and ensuring effective sprint planning. Here's how to do it successfully:
- Create a Dashboard: - To create a dashboard, first navigate to JIRA's "Dashboards" section. Click "Create New Dashboard" and customize the style and permissions to meet your team's needs.
- Add Useful Gadgets: - Use Filter Results or Sprint Health to keep track of story points. The Filter Results gadget allows you to display story points based on defined criteria. A popular JQL query which shows all user stories in the current sprint is:
issuetype = Story AND Sprint in openSprints()
- Burndown Chart: - The Burndown Chart gadget is another useful tool for visualizing how story points are depleted over the sprint. It provides a quick assessment of whether your team is on schedule to complete all tales.
- Customize for Different Views: - You can filter the dashboard by teams, projects, or individual sprints to meet your specific requirements. This allows you to maintain focused tracking for your Agile process.
Creating a dashboard with these widgets will provide you with a real-time, visual picture of your team's progress and capacity, making it easy to track completion and change plans.
