Metrics on Cards

Introduction

Represent milestones, releases and iterations on cards and use these cards to view metrics and charts. For example, see the number of stories planned for the release, release specific feature breakup and completion status of stories on the individual 'Release' cards for easy tracking. As the status of the project changes the metrics will automatically be updated providing valuable and up to date Release information.

Card specific reports

Using a card as a representation of an Iteration or Release means that it is easier to roll up your metrics on that card to give easily accessible 'Iteration' or 'Release' level reports.
  • By adding your card to a tree you can create aggregate properties that can summarize data about children cards. As the status of the children card changes the aggregate properties are also updated automatically so the Release metrics are always up to date.
  • Create card specific charts easily by using THIS CARD to reference the card the charts they are being displayed on.
  • By adding your desired cards (as well as using THIS CARD) to your card defaults any new cards of that type will automatically have card specific charts created.

For a 'worked' example of card specific reporting take a look at the Release and Iteration cards on the Agile hybrid template.
