Purpose
Completion Snapshot shows a scope status at the end of an iteration. The following status categories are considered:
Blocked means there work stoppages have place;
Not Done means items do not get a "Done" status and not blocked;
Done means items get a "Done" status according to the 'Done' column in Project Settings>Data Sources>Task Tracking system>Workflows.
How metric helps
Completion Snapshot helps to analyze retrospectively an amount of work in 'Blocked' or 'Not Done' statuses. 'Blocked' work might be a cause of a low velocity or its degradation.
How metric works
Chart overview
Chart shows a completion snapshot in Story Points, Work Items, Person hours (remaining efforts), Person hours (original estimates) - Axis Y by sprint or release - Axis X. Started but incomplete sprint is also shown in the chart.
On hover over a point a hint appears with the following info: amount of scope in SP/items in the statuses from a considered category. Category here is Blocked, Not done, Done. Statuses are taken from Project Settings>Data Sources>Task Tracking system>Workflows.
Chart legend shows the latest values for the amount of scope in Blocked, Not done, Done categories.
By click on a column part a pop up appears with the following information got from a task tracking system:
Issue ID
Type
Priority
Summary
Calculation
Calculation for a metric depending on a selected unit of measure:
Scope category | Unit of Measure | |||
Items | Story Points | Person hours (remaining efforts) | Person hours (original estimates) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Blocked | number of items in Blocked status. Blocked status is defined in Project Settings>Data Sources>Task Tracking System>Scope Management criteria 'Work stoppages tracking'. | sum of estimates in Story Points for items in Blocked status. Blocked status is defined in Project Settings>Data Sources>Task Tracking System>Scope Management criteria 'Work stoppages tracking'. | sum of remaining time for items in Blocked status. Blocked status is defined in Project Settings>Data Sources>Task Tracking System>Scope Management criteria 'Work stoppages tracking'. | sum of original time for items in Blocked status. Blocked status is defined in Project Settings>Data Sources>Task Tracking System>Scope Management criteria 'Work stoppages tracking'. |
Not Done | number of items in a 'To Do' or 'In Progress' status defined in Project Settings>Data Sources>Task Tracking System>Workflows | sum of estimates in Story Points for items in a 'To Do' or 'In Progress' status defined in Project Settings>Data Sources>Task Tracking System>Scope Management criteria 'Work stoppages tracking'. | sum of remaining time for items in a 'To Do' or 'In Progress' status defined in Project Settings>Data Sources>Task Tracking System>Scope Management criteria 'Work stoppages tracking'. | sum of original time for items in a 'To Do' or 'In Progress' status defined in Project Settings>Data Sources>Task Tracking System>Scope Management criteria 'Work stoppages tracking'. |
Done | number of items in a 'Done' status defined in Project Settings>Data Sources>Task Tracking System>Workflows | sum of estimates in Story Points for items in a 'Done' status defined in Project Settings>Data Sources>Task Tracking System>Workflows | sum of remaining time for items in a 'Done' status defined in Project Settings>Data Sources>Task Tracking System>Workflows | sum of original time for items in a 'Done' status defined in Project Settings>Data Sources>Task Tracking System>Workflows |
Calculation notes
1 Chart shows values for Blocked/Not Done/Done calculated as follows:
for the current iteration - metric values are calculated as of today;
for completed iterations - metric values are calculated at an iteration end date and timestamp.
2 Sub-items are included into the calculation if "Include sub items into metrics calculation" setting is on (Project Settings>Data Sources>Task Tracking system>Workflows>Include sub items into metrics calculation.).
3 Metric value could be different from Velocity Committed vs Completed in case of sprints grouping (Project setting>Data Sources>Task Tracking System>Scope Management criteria 'GROUP SPRINTS BY")
Data Source
Data for the metric can be collected from a task tracking system (Jira, TFS, Rally, etc.).
