Jira Agile Metrics Gadget

📝 Context: The Challenge: Too Many Reports, Not Enough Insights

Meet Alex, a Scrum Master at a mid-sized software development company. His team frequently struggles to understand why some tasks take longer than expected.

During sprint retrospectives, developers often raise concerns about delays but can't pinpoint whether the bottlenecks happen in code review, testing, or waiting for approval. Every time Alex tries to investigate, he finds himself switching between Jira issue histories, exporting reports, or manually calculating cycle times across multiple sprints. It’s time-consuming, and by the time he gathers the data, the insights are already outdated.

💡 Solution: Time Between Statuses – Instant Visibility, Better Decisions

Instead of navigating through multiple reports, Alex adds the Time Metrics Gadget to his Jira dashboard. Within minutes, he configures it to track key time metrics:

✔ Cycle Time – How long tasks take from "In Progress" to "Done"
✔ Lead Time – How long an issue takes from creation to resolution
✔ Waiting Time – Identifying where tickets spend the most time stuck

By selecting specific projects and filtering issues based on their creation, update, or resolution dates, Alex can see trends instantly. Instead of waiting for the next retrospective to analyze problems, he spots delays in real-time and acts immediately.
