Using Kanban boards
- Olexiy Artemenko
You can configure the chart according to your processes and needs in the “Main” tab in the settings of all related charts:

Note: The app is using your Jira instance search engine, so if you select too many boards, the calculation can take a long time before we cache it. “Too many” is an empirical value and depends on your work log amount.
Several teams using one Kanban board
Given:
More than one team uses a particular Kanban board.
You want only some of them to be visualized on the chart.

Integrated "Time Spent & Remaining Time" Estimation Field
By merging the two types of data — time spent and time remaining — your teams can continue using familiar tools while applying agile principles to track their performance. This blended approach can offer you a more nuanced view of team workflow close to Story Points, ensuring a smoother transition and more accurate forecasting.
You can select the "Time Spent & Remaining Time" field from the dropdown alongside other fields.
By default, the charts focus on the team’s productivity by counting Time Spent and Remaining Time for completed issues. In contrast, you can switch on the toggle to track the team’s efficiency and consider only the Time Spent.

The color of the icon button will show you what board settings are customized:
Note: By default, the chart calculates as completed all issues that have any status from the last column, getting this from the board settings.
