We are running visual studio team foundation server and today we are watching the number of active bugs on a dashboard. I would like to accompany this information with the number of new bugs added to the buglist each day.
I can't find any widget or anything in this area, is there anyone that have any idea how to track this?
You can easily create a cumulative flow chart that will show you the increase in tye number of bugs by day.
Create a query with the last 30 days of bugs by created date (#today-30). Then go to the Chart tab on the query and add a line chart. Tweek & pin it to your dasboard. Call it "30 day cumulative bug flow".
Another useful way to visualise this data would be to create a query for those bugs created in the last 24 hours, (#today-1) and pin it to your dashboard as a number. Call it "Incoming in last 24"
Unfortunately, there is no this kind of build-in feature.
You could use TFS Client API or REST API to query workitems and create the status report yourself.
Or you could set an optional reporting infrastructure. With this installed you can use the out of the box reports to do what you want:
Moreover, I also created an uservoice for you, TFS Admin will kindly review it, you could also vote up it to get more attention.

I´m trying to create a gadget for the Jira Dashboard that´s quite hard to accomplish.
I need to show a list of epics with time budget and the sum of time spent as columns.
The problem I´m facing is that the time logged is not made in the epics, but in the tasks or issues inside the epic (as I think it should be) and the column on "sum of time spent" is always empty.
This means, as I see it, that I have to be able to sum up the issues inside every epic and somehow show it in the empty column of the epic I need to see.
I created a filter and I´m calling it with the "filter results" jira dashboard gadget.
I tried with the Script Runner plugin and read the API it has, but still no idea how can that be done.
Is there any idea?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
I have looked for something exactly like this recently, and am surprised that JIRA doesn't have a way to do this out of the box.
Checkout Epic Sum Up. https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/aptis.plugins.epicSumUp/cloud/overview It will solve the Time Budget question, but I don't know about a Time Logged solution.
See:
https://confluence.aptis.info/display/ESU/Time+Field
"How to search a Time Field by using JQL"
You might also find some useful features in the Tempo Addon.

Since you're looking to display something on a dashboard look under the Users Guide: Tempo gadgets area.
this works with the Plugin Timesheet
https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/294/timesheet-reports-and-gadgets?hosting=cloud&tab=overview
1) Add the Gadget to a JIRA-Dashboard
2) Edit the Gadget appropiately
but care that you
Group by: Epic Name
and choose for
Additional Fields: Original Estimate and Remaining Estimate
Consider to set Show Details: to No
This will look something like this:
(Remaining Estimate are the numbers Right from the Original Estimate-column )
Lets say, in TFS 2013, age of a work item can be calculated by the number of days between Created Date and Resolved Date. I need to write such query in TFS portal and plot a chart against it. I know how to plot the chart but I have no idea how to write such query in portal as I see no way of doing this.
Any help?
No, you can't calculate one work item's age via using work item query. Instead, you need to first calculate work item age with reporting or TFS API, then create chart based on these available work item age data.
Also have a check on this link which discusses a similar issue: How to get the time between two TFS Work Item States in SSAS (or any other report)?
There is a status in my JIRA instance called "Ready For Test" at which the tester would validate and close the jira. I need to know the amount of time the JIRA is in that particular status since it was moved from "In Progress" to "Ready to Test".
Is there a JQL query that can do it? I need this time field to be exported to Excel as well so that I can name and shame people and ask them to close the JIRAs as soon as they can.
I don't think it is possible on clean Jira installation. There are two plugins I know providing this kind of functionality:
Time in Status - self-explanatory
Enhancer Plugin (sorry, can't post more than two links) - adds a configurable time in status custom field, bt if I remember it correctly, it can display value only after you leave the status.
These are both paid, so that can be an issue.
Another option (if you're not using OnDemand) is the Script Runner Plugin. This plugin will allow you to create your own workflow postfunctions so you can store the "Ready to Test" transition date to one custom field and either calculate time and write it to another custom field when leaving that status or write a scripted field that will calculate and display current time since entering status. This solution is free (not counting your time to implement the functions).
Thanks #SilenyHobit for the idea. Here is what I've done:
First installed JIRA Suite Utilities plugin (its FREE)
Added a custom field called RFTDate (date type control)
Added a post function in RFT transition to update RFTDate with current datetime
Voila!!!
As an alternative, you can use Status Time Jira app. It provides reports on how much time passed in each status.
Once you enter your working calendar into the app, it takes your working schedule into account too. That is, "In Progress" time of an issue opened on Friday at 5 PM and closed on Monday at 9 AM, will be a few hours rather than 3 days. It has various other reports like assignee time, status entry dates, average/sum reports by any field(eg. average in progress time by project, average cycle time by issue creation month). And all these are available as gadgets on the dashboard too.
Here is the online demo link, you can see it in action and try.
As a free solution, you can try the limited version Status Time Free.
I'm trying to use JQL to measure cycle times (the Control Chart has other issues), so I need to get the date that an issue changed status. I see that one can use the CHANGED keyword to filter issues that have changed status on certain dates, but I see no way to actually list the date of the change as a column.
Any ideas? How would you guys address this lack of visibility into cycle time data?
There is no simple solution available in JIRA at the moment. See the issue https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-12825 for the whole discussion. The argumentation of Atlassian is the following:
There exists a product Service Desk that implements the SLA feature expressed here.
There are reports and additional plugins available that give similar information to this. See the JIRA Suite Utilities which give you a UI for each issue to see the transition summary.
JQL (JIRA Query Language) was intended to select all issues that match a query, not to select special information to these issues. You have to use the configuration of the table, if it is included there as a field of the issue (which it is not).
In addition to the suggestions from mliebelt there is another at https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/128370/how-to-capture-date-of-state-change-in-jira. It requires JIRA Misc Workflow Extenstions and uses the "Copy value from field to field" function to capture the transition date in a custom field.
There is a plugin in Atlassian Marketplace called Time in Status just for that purpose. The plugin prepares a report on how much time each issue spent on each status or assignee.
Time in status is useless if need to count of Jiras that changed status on that day. Time in status widgets is useless for this
Is there an easy way to get a list in JIRA of work done broken down by developer, by date and by task so you can view individual progress
For a group, by release, try the Version Workload Report function.
For a specific individual, try the user workload report.
You can get to either of these by clicking "Browse Project" from the dashboard.
Also - the greenhopper plugin provides a lot of this information
(I'm using it almost daily)
