Reporting on metrics and historical trends across projects with Report Builder

By using Report Builder, you can create reports to identify trends in project or team progress and quality throughout a release, a sprint, or a specific time range.

Report on a single trend or several historical trends in your data. You can define conditions to focus only on the data you need. You can specify whether conditions can be changed when the report is run, so other organizations can reuse and tailor your report.

Before you begin

If you use a Lifecycle Query Engine data source, you must first configure Lifecycle Query Engine to collect metrics. Then, you can report on metrics and historical trends. For more information, see Collecting metrics for historical trends reports.
