CFD diagram using Kanban

[Mia Maia Smidt]

Hi, 

We use the Jira reports on our KANBAN boards for CFD's and our worflow ends with a deployed status. Over time we will end up having a lot of issues in the deployed status  and therefore the CFD will end up showing a lot of one color. 

Is there a way to not show old issues? We have set the board not to show completed issues over 2 weeks, but that doesn’t work.

Hi @Mia Maia Smidt 

When you say that you have filtered the "board to not show completed issues over 2 weeks, but that doesn't work", what are you seeing?

We are doing something similar, creating a board quick filter, and then selecting that filter with the CFD report and narrowing the time frame to a month.  Our quick filter is something like this:

Project = myProject
 AND issuetype IN (Bug, Story)
 AND (resolutiondate IS EMPTY OR resolutiondate >= -28d)

Of note, using this method alters the slope of the Backlog and Done areas on the diagram, so it doesn't accurately reflect work arrival and completion rate, respectively.  We would need an actual CFD with zoom-in capabilities to see that.  :^)

Best regards,

Bill

Hi Bill, 

Thank you for your answer, that helped :)

Thank you also from me, Bill, this also helped me today when I was trying to help my boss make sense of the massive 'done' colour in the CFD.

Adding the Quick Filter you suggested

resolutiondate IS EMPTY OR resolutiondate >= -28d

and it worked.

Arnold, glad to hear that helped.  

Unfortunately the built-in CFD isn't really a "CFD", for lots of reasons, so these are work-arounds to get the chart to display something helpful. (For example, imagine plotting all of the possible data and then creating a display rectangle over the date region you want to see.  The built-in chart cannot do that.)
