PERF allows to include and exclude sub-items from metrics calculation. This can be helpful if you need calculate metrics for a project duration/release and sub-items estimation and quantity is no object in this case.

  • If the sub-items included into calculation then task estimates and their quantity will be taken into account while calculating metrics (it mostly affects Productivity  & Scope and Backlog metrics).
  • If the sub-items included into calculation then tasks are not included into the calculation in items at all but estimates are summarized in most Productivity metrics.

To manage custom metrics including/excluding sub-items in calculation go to Project ConfigurationTask Tracking Systems (Jira, Rally, TFS/VSTS)Workflow.

Info

Sub item is a sub bug or sub-task.

What is considered as a sub-item depends on a Task Tracking System:

  • JIRA sub-items: sub-issues per native JIRA terminology;
  • RALLY sub-items: Tasks (in rally tasks are always children of Story or Defect);
  • TFS/VSTS sub-items: child items of ANY parents except Feature or Epic.
