  • Calculate your tracking metrices with effective project data

  • Earned Value, Cost Variance, Schedule Variance

Let's get those formulas in place and start getting those numbers in.

Although natively Jira is not able to get this data for you, with some customization and configurations, we’d help you calculate these pointers. To understand in depth about calculations: Know about EVM

This is how a beautifully configured EVM would look like:

You can hover on each and every component in the UI to understand the data and how are we getting the data.

To configure:

  1. Click on three dots and click on Configure.

  1. Click on “Edit” to get started with editing.

  1. Planned start date and planned completion date have an impact on Planned Value, while Issue completion affects Earned Value.

  2. Currently, progress calculation relies on the "Status" of an issue, such as Backlog, Selected for Development, Done, etc. The calculation based on due dates will be implemented soon.

  3. In cases where multiple statuses indicate completion, you can specify them in the "Select done statuses" section and choose the relevant ones from your workflow.

  4. Once the configuration is finalized, remember to save the changes by clicking on "Save Changes".
