In Progress statuses
The In Progress Statuses option allows you to customize which statuses are considered "In Progress" for all your charts, whether it's Cycle Time Histogram Chart, Time in Status Cycle Time Chart, or Cycle Time Trend Chart. This flexibility lets you redefine what "In Progress" means for your workflow by including statuses that are typically categorized as "To Do" or "Done".
Sometimes, your team might have specific statuses that don’t fit neatly into the default "In Progress" category but are crucial to your workflow. For example, you might have a "To Do" status like "Design Approved" or a "Done" status like "Ready for Release". By selecting these as "In Progress," you can ensure that the time spent in these critical stages is accurately tracked and analyzed.
The In Progress “In Progress” Statuses option allows you to tailor your charts to reflect the unique aspects of your workflow, ensuring that no crucial stage is overlooked, regardless of how it's categorized in Jira.

The Done Statuses option allows you to customize which statuses are considered "Done" for the Cycle Time Histogram Chart and Cycle Time Trend chartsChart.
