Analysis for Epic workload?

[Gerd_Huhn]

Hi guys,

is it possible to get an analysis/a report for the workload of every epic in a sprint? I would like to have a percentage overview of all the epics. Pie chart or something like that. 

In a very easy case, I want to see what's the percentage of Epic A and Epic B in the sprint. There are only two Epics. 

Best regards,

Gerd

Dear @Gerd_Huhn,

I cannot recommend measuring the workload on an Epic. Epics consist of 1 or more stories. They are estimated in relative values not comparable with workload. A Sub-task / task of a story is the issue where workload is logged in minutes/hours/days, but many agile teams even don't do this.

If you would like to sum up all the worklog of sub-tasks of all stories of one epic (of same sprint), you can set up a JQL that returns all issue/sub-issues (parent and children issue) of one epic. But the worklog is not aggregated by default. You could export to Excel and do the calculation there.

So long

Hi Thomas,

thanks for your answer!

I know, that time tracking isn't the right thing to do...

But my client sees it slightly different and he wants to know how much time is spent on projects and how much on support. That's the intention beyond this question.

Dear @Gerd_Huhn,

to get easiest the right JQL, try the AM Utils plugin (free/GPL), it provides a function to go deeper from one epic to its issues/sub-issues.

Dear @Gerd_Huhn,

have you solved you issue with the plugin? Do you need more help?
