Detail Estimate Trend Dashboard
The Detail Estimate Trend dashboard enables you to understand the trend of detail estimate of a planning level or program over time. Detail estimate trend analysis involves tracking and monitoring the effort needed to resolve defects over time. You can evaluate the progress and effectiveness of your defect fixing and identify any unusual defects.
The Last refresh date on this dashboard refers to the date and time when the data displayed on the dashboard was last updated or refreshed from the underlying data sources. You can know the data's freshness and make informed decisions based on the most recent information.
This dashboard is built using the work_item_snapshot_monthly dataset.
Detail Estimate Trend
Displays trend of detail estimate. Each data point on the panel represents the total detail estimate value for a given date. Using the Work item type filter, you can view the detail estimate based on different work item types like defect, story, and test set. The x-axis represents the date, and the y-axis represents the detail estimate count. You can hover the cursor over the panel to see the calendar date and detailed estimate.
Here is an example detail estimate trend panel.
You can filter and view the required data using the following filters:
- Planning level: Displays data of work items in the selected planning level and all child planning levels that belong to the planning level.
- The following filters display filter values based on the filtered planning level.
- The following filters cascade each other except the Start date, Duration, and Work item type filters.
- Program: Displays data of work items in the selected program.
- Team: Displays data of a specific group of cross-functional members.
- Backlog group: Displays data of work items in the selected backlog group and child backlog group that belongs to the backlog group.
- Iteration: Displays data of a specific planning period for an Agile team.
- Portfolio item: Displays data of work items in the selected portfolio item and all child portfolio items that belong to the portfolio item.
- Backlog goal: Displays data of work items assigned to the selected backlog goals.
- Lagging count of months: Displays defect data for the current month and the preceding two months.
- Work item type: Displays data of work items in the following work item types: defect, story, and test set.
You can use these filters to refine the displayed data. For example, you can choose a team from the Team filter to view the corresponding detail estimate trend dashboard. Here is an example team-filtered panel.
