Defect Trend by Iteration or Sprint Dashboard Panel

This article provides an overview of the Defect Trend by Iteration or Sprint Dashboard Panel in Agility.

Overview​

The Analytics Defect Trend by Sprint or Iteration dashboard panel allows you to understand how defects a Project or Program are trending at the end of each Sprint or Iteration.

Because the bars in this panel represent a Sprint or Iteration, the panel requires a schedule. If the selected Project does not contain a schedule, the panel will not display any results.
