When an Idea is moved into a specific status, an automation runs that spins up an Initiative in JIRA. As the team works to define the epics/stories they add them in the hierarchical order.
Our hierarchy in JIRA is as follows:
When we look at the Delivery Progress on the Idea in JPD, we see the Initiative, Epic and Stories that we have created. But the progress bar is not giving the accurate data to visualize the progress of the work. This Article states that the Delivery Progress will only sum up one child below the linked item. Since our linked item is the Initiative, the delivery progress will only show the sum of epic points by epic status.
Example: If the Delivery Progress settings are "Simple" and "Story Points", then the widget will calculate at the epic level
Delivery Progress Bar : [10 points To-Do][31 points In-Progress][0 points Done]
- Initiative - In-Progress
- Epic 1 - [10 points] To-Do
- Story A - [5 points] To-Do
- Story B - [5 points] To-Do
- Epic 2 - [11 points] In-Progress
- Story A - [5 points] Done
- Story B - [3 points] To-Do
- Story C - [3 points] In-Progress
- Epic 3 - [20 points] In-Progress
- Story A - [5 points] Done
- Story B - [10 points] Done
- Story C - [5 points] In-Progress
What I would want to see is the actual work breakdown, summing at the child level. If the widget was working this way, my output would be as follows:
Delivery Progress Bar : [13 points To-Do][8 points In-Progress][20 points Done]
The only way I can currently achieve this is by removing the Initiative level in my scheme and linking each of the Epics to the Idea. I would like to keep the Initiative as part of our scheme as it allows us to customize what data points are collected for an initiative. But it looks like Atlassian is thinking of an Idea as an initiative?
