Velocity Charts in Jira - jira

I am trying to get the velocity charts of all my sprints. But in Jira we can see the velocity charts of only the last 7 sprints.
Is there a way to change the default number of "7" ?

Currently there doesn't appear to be a way to do this out of the box.
From Atlassian:
The Velocity report is a report that is not adjustable in regards to sprint selection. The report is configured to always show the last 7 sprints completed by the team.
Is there a way to restrict the velocity report to less than 7 sprints?
You can vote for the feature request here: JSWSERVER-6034.
You could alternatively use an app like eazyBI and build your own velocity chart (see example here)

How to configure TFS burn down chart to be for story points

Out of the box TFS only has an hour burn-down chart.
We need a burn-down based on story-points.
It should use the "effort" field on PBI/Story to burn down once a story is completed.
You can create your own report based on TFS data (warehouse or cube). You can find more on https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb649552.aspx
This is not possible in the web access.
Herbert of you have the reporting component configured you get an out of the box reporting services burn down report. If you open that you can change the burn from hours, to tasks, or story points.
However reporting services is not team aware.

Highcharts - Multiple Charts On Mobile Page

I have an issue with HighCharts. I am building a mobile page that will contain upwards of 20 charts on the screen however there is a large delay (5 - 10 seconds) for the charts to render. I am using DotNet.Highcharts to construct the charts on the server side and then just rendering the div and script tags that creates to the page.
My question is: has anyone attempted something similar (I'm sure i cant be the only one) and how did you get past this so your users don't experience the 'lag' of rendering those charts?
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Adam
When I first started developing a dashboard for my company I was told that I MUST support IE8, as most of our clients would be using it.
I too had to render close to 20 charts on the fly...and boy did my load time suffer, in fact...it ranged between 30 seconds and 2 minutes.
What I did to combat this is actually separate the charts. Instead of having all 20 or so on one page, I separated them out into "tabs" or different sections of the page, and I only initialized the charts when they needed to be shown. Instead of one large delay, there were several very small delays.
I'm not sure if this is something you could accomplish on your site without seeing it, but it may be worth a try!

Sonar Wall Display?

My employer has installed two large LCD panels to display build health and statistics.
I'd like to display Sonar graphs which update intra-day. How's the best way of going about this? I've had a look through the available plugins and haven't found a "wall display" facility yet
No such plugin currently exists, and actually I'm not sure that this could be achieved with a plugin - as plugins can only contribute to the current Sonar UI.
Maybe you could send a mail on our mailing-list (user#sonar.codehaus.org) to tell your interest in such a feature for a future release of Sonar? Basically, this would be something like the possibility to ask the UI to show a Sonar dashboard outside of the standard layout and with a specific refresh rate.
FYI, we have planned a work on the UI for the next version of Sonar - 3.3, so this could be the opportunity to see if your need can be addressed within this sprint.

rails flash graph/chart plugin

bar chart,
stacked bar chart,
pie chart,
stacked area chart,
and line graphs
which support the below criteria,
1. Customizable tool tip. For eg: when i am drawing a stacked area graph, i want to display all the y axix values for that x axis point as tool tip.
2. Graph should support on click event
3. The graph should be able to send as an image through inline attachment.
4. Column graph, that should be able to display the value above the bar.
5. Should be able to turn off the animation
6. We can draw two y axis
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

EDIT: I am willing to purchase a commercial license if its servers the purpose.
I don't know which ones will have all the features that you want but I was playing with charts a while ago and this is a list of some possibilities:
Ziya(http://ziya.liquidrail.com/) - Rails plugin
AmCharts (http://www.amcharts.com/) - The one I ended up using because of flexibility - No rails plugin but it is quite simple to deploy using with rails XML support (I guess it does export images and has all the features you want though it might take a little while to understand and make full use of it)
Fusion Charts (http://www.fusioncharts.com/) - Seems to be a good option if you are willing to inve$t some money on it
Gruff (http://nubyonrails.com/pages/gruff) - Also rails plugin - I don't remember anymore why I decided against it but I think it was because of the lack of animation
OpenFlash (http://openflashchart.com/) - I liked this one though I just used as a proof of concept
I also did try the Timeplot (http://www.simile-widgets.org/timeplot/) that is totally javascript because I had a problem with the amount of points it was required for my charts and the flash-based solutions had several limitations on that. Though I gave it up because of deployment time contraints.
Hope it helps.
Check out Highcharts http://www.highcharts.com/
Cheers,
I also heavily use AmCharts in conjonction with the Ambling Rails plugin.
If you go this way, know that you will pass time in the AmCharts reference documentation for fine-tuning the parameters of your charts. But it's worthwhile considering the results it give.

Charting Progress in JIRA

With JIRA, there are features that allow you to Start Progress and Stop Progress on an issue or various issues at any given time. Is there a way for me to go back and see a chart or a graphical representation of how my time was spent over a set period of time?
If I wanted to see how many bugs I worked on in April, and see how much time (graphically) was spent on each bug, could that be done, and if so, which version of JIRA would allow me to do that?
I dont think you can see for a given month how much time was spend on a task. You can see how much time was spent on a task, but not what time period it was for.
I'm sure you've already seen this:
http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/v3.13.3/timetracking_report.html
There's a Time Sheet Summary report that comes with the Timesheet Report and Portlet plugin - it shows you a list of the JIRA issues you've been working on together with the time per day for a configurable period. No charts, though, I'm afraid.
I think in general that time tracking is ripe for someone to write a really good JIRA plugin; I'm not totally happy with any of the current ones.
Go with the Tempo plug-in for jira. It is brilliant.
You can implement this visualization with the JIRA PDF View Plugin, like this:
Create a filter that returns the issues to be used for this visualization. Run it and invoke the plugin from the "View" dropdown menu.
Write a little Groovy script that iterates over the returned collection of issues, and:
Builds a mapping from "month" (key) to a data structure which holds a triplet of "totalTimeSpent, issuesWorkedOn, issuesFixed" (value).
At each issue compute the sum of the "time spent" records and add it to "totalTimeSpent".
Increment the two other counters accordingly.
When your script completes you have all input data to draw a timeseries chart.
Generate a JFreeChart TimeSeriesCollection dataset. It should contain 3 TimeSeries (3 lines) for the 3 types of values.
Create a simple PDF template that displays a single timeseries chart, which takes the dataset returned by the previous script to render a timeseries chart. Check the timeseries chart example in the tutorial for directions.
The final chart will be something like this:
