Reports

Project status can be analyzed in Reports view. ScrumDesk is providing only valuable metrics and reports. These metrics were implemented based on the best practices gathered from our customers.

ScrumDesk support for Product Owner decisions is unique in the market of Scrum project management tool.

Reports view is divided into these areas:

Metrics and reports for development team

Velocity by sprint

Velocity by Sprint

This chart helps to identify:
  • total amount of the work in sprints
  • state of the sprint stories and thus completeness status
  • estimated maximum sprint velocity
  • velocity for 3 worst sprints
  • velocity for 8 last sprints
  • maximum sprint velocity

Velocity by weeks and days

This chart is usable for teams doing more Lean techniques or if length of the sprints is changing very often.

Velocity by weeks

Velocity by days

Velocity by release

Velocity by release

This chart provides releases status overview. Height of the column indicates total amount of the work needed to complete release. Product owner can easy identify release "price". Also, colored parts of the column indicates status of the release stories.

Sprint Burn Down chart

Sprint burndown chart

Burn down chart is a great agile way to know sprint status. This chart displays:

  • Days of the sprint on x-axis
  • Remaining work on y-axis
  • Ideal progress of the work
  • real work progress displaying amount of the work remaining in given sprint day

Sprint Burn Up chart

Another useful way of displaying sprint status is sprint Burn Up chart. This chart displays how much work has been completed since sprint start and how much work is planned for every sprint's day.

Burn Up

Release BurnDown chart (Iterations burndown chart)

Release BurnDown chart displays progress of the release developed in more sprints. ScrumDesk will help you with estimation when Release backlog will be completed. Estimation is based on statistical velocities of your team.

Parking lot

Parking lot report displays themes work status. For every theme is card created.

Every card displays:

  • theme name,
  • count of the theme's stories
  • number of completed story points for theme stories
  • total number of story points for theme stories
  • progress indicator with % of completeness

Parking Lot

You can see not only the progress of the effort (story points), but also the distribution of work.

Daily Backlog Trends

If you are Product Owner, take a look on this chart to see how project backlog has been developed. See progress how fast storypoints were implemented (orange line).

Yellow dots indicate stories developed at given day. Sprints are displayed as small red filled circle.

Changes of the backlog's size are tracked by green line.

Sprint timesheet

This report displays sprint progress in a form of the time sheet. The time sheet is generated for all team members and selected sprint.

On a row are displayed stories and a tasks. The stories are displayed with yellow background.

Under a story's or task's name is displayed name of the team member who is working on given tasks. In second column is displayed duration estimated before the task starts. Following columns displays values entered in a given day by the team member.

In advance, for some values is displayed small arrow. Color of the arrow indicates exception of the estimated value.

Green arrow   indicates advance in a progress.

Red horizontal arrow indicates that in given days no progress has been recognized. This can indicate some unexpected problems with implementation or that the user doesn't update value.

Orange up arrow indicates that value has not decreased, but increased.

Values displayed with a gray color are values for other team member who participates on the given task.

Stories and tasks can be easy filtered by a click on the team member.  Multiple team members can be selected. Team members can be easy filtered by a filter text box in the right upper corner of the screen.

Sprint can be selected in a combo box from left top corner.

Time Sheet

Detail of the story can be started by a double-click.

Stories by status

This chart displays distribution of stories by state. User is able to identify current backlog status by an effort (story points) or remaining time.

Metrics and reports for Product Owners

Risk vs. Value

Chart Risk vs. Value displays Risk on X-axis  and Positive Business Value on Y-axis. Stories are distributed into four sectors - Do First, Do Second, Do Last and Avoid.

The color of the circle displays a state of the story. Click on circle to display the story detail window.

 

It is good project management technique to develop the most riskiest stories as a first. But you should take the business value into account.

If story brings only small value, it is too much riskiest to develop it as the first, better is to concentrate on stories with higher business value.

Satisfaction and Effort

Kano model describes customer's satisfaction level. Every story in ScrumDesk can be described by the satisfaction level. Product owner can use this attribute to estimate how the customer will react to stories.

The height of rectangles is sum of all backlog stories with given satisfaction level. Rectangle is divided into areas colored by story's state.

Levels are:

  • Excitement - if given story is developed, customer will like to have it
  • Indifferent - for customer it doesn't matter if such story will be developed or no
  • Mandatory - such story is required, it is normal behavior, typical requirement
  • Performance - if you will develop such story, customer will appreciate better performance
  • Questionable - it is a question, if such story will provides any additional value for your customer
  • Reverse - if such story is implemented, your customer will feel uncomfortable

Value in time

Chart displays positive business value completed to given day. Product Owner can easy recognize the level of value, she can decide if it isn't enough for the product release.
