Reports based on Effort

Multiple useful reports that rely on Effort data can be built in Targetprocess.

List of entities with their Effort

It is possible to build tabular custom reports showing lists of entities and their effort. Reports can be exported outside from Targetprocess.

Total completed effort (velocity) report

It is possible to create a Visual Report that shows how many points or hours of Effortyour team completes per unit of time (per week, month, Sprint or Iteration). The report may include user stories only or bugs as well. Visual reports can group and summarize effort per high-level scope of work (Feature, Epic, Sprint or Iteration, Release, Project), per person, per Role. Visual reports show data in form of charts and can be exported to tabular CSV files.

More information: Report for total completed Effort / Velocity

Templates for Velocity reports

The following predefined templates for Visual Reports by Effort are available:

  • Iterations Velocity Trend: How Iterations velocity changes over time
  • Team Iterations Velocity Trend: How Team Iterations velocity changes over time

Total assigned / completed effort per user

It is possible to report that shows total completed effort per user.

Total assigned / completed effort per role

It is possible to report that shows total effort per role.

Total effort per assigned Team

It is possible to see total effort of your backlog items separated by assigned team.

Total effort per assigned Team split by Releases and Features

In the old editor:

Data source: Team Assignment

X axis: Team

X axis filter: ?it is not None

Y axis: Assignable.Release

Y axis 2nd dimension: Sum(Assignable.Effort)

Color: Assignable.As<UserStory>.Feature

In the new editor:

In new reports editor Assignable types have 'Assigned Team' field, which is actually all the teams from TeamAssignment collection. There is no need to create report using AssignedTeam data source.

Estimation Accuracy

Estimation Accuracy reports help to compare total estimated effort and total time spent. It is an important metric for each agile team. It improves estimates and overall project planning. Estimation accuracy may be tracked on different levels of your hierarchy: from work items (such as User Stories, Bugs) to larger planning entities (Features, Epics, Sprints / Iterations, Releases and Projects).

Audit history. Historical reports

For any assignable entity it is possible to see how its effort was modified on the History tab in the detailed view.

It is not possible so far to build historical reports by all entities for which effort has been changed.
