Work Item Summary Dashboard
The Work Item Summary dashboard provides a detailed overview of all work items, including backlog items, defects, and test sets in a planning level or program. It breaks down the information based on different aspects like status, priority, and type, helping you gain insights into the composition and distribution of work items across various dimensions.

This dashboard is built using the work_item_summary dataset.

The status values are unspecified, done, and completed. The priority values are unspecified, high, medium, and low. The work item type values are story, defect, and test set. You can hover the cursor over the panel to see the dimension, work item count, and percentage of dimension.
