Cycle Time Charts 1.0 release notes (Sep 23, 2024)

Fast-forward a few months of intense discovery, design sprints, product decisions, and trade-offs… and we’re thrilled to announce that the Cycle Time Gadget App is officially ready for Jira Cloud! (The Jira DC version is coming).

Open

Here’s why we are so proud of this first release (even with those out-of-scope features still sitting in our backlog):

1. A Beautiful UX: You get an interactive chart right on your Jira dashboard, and it gets even better. You can tweak settings in a full-screen modal window, instantly seeing how your chart updates in real-time.

2. Less is More: Instead of flooding the app with countless charts, we focused on one gadget that offers three types of charts. These cover the key Jobs-to-be-Done (JTBD) around Cycle Time and Time in Status metrics. You can effortlessly switch between them—no reconfiguration needed.

3. Deep Jira Integration: You can slice and dice your data in ways you haven’t even imagined. Want to track Cycle Time SLA percentiles (50-85) for high-priority stories compared to medium-priority tech tasks? It’s a 3-click task! Custom issue types like Initiatives or Program Epics are fully supported too. You can even select a specific Initiative as a data source to monitor Cycle Time and Time in Status.
