Story Count by Sprint or Iteration Dashboard Panel

The Analytics Story Count by Sprint or Iteration dashboard panel allows you to see the trend of Backlog Items in sprints or iterations. This is very similar to the Velocity Trend panel; however this panel indicates which Backlog items were planned, which were added after the sprint or iteration was underway and the number that were complete.

Measures

The following metrics are presented for each sprint or iteration visible on the chart.

ValueDescription
PlannedThe number of stories in the sprint or iteration at the end of the first day of the iteration.
AddedThe number of stories added to the sprint or iteration after the first day of the iteration. We determine this number by uniquely counting IDs that appear in the sprint and subtracting the number of planned items.  The added value is never below zero.  Therefore, this number will include items that were added and subsequently removed, unless the add or remove action occurred in the same day.
CompleteThe number of stories in a Complete Status on the last day of the iteration. This would include stories that are Closed, regardless of status, and Stories that are active an in a Status value marked as complete. We look specifically at the last day of the iteration. Therefore, if you Complete a story after the last day of the iteration, you get no credit.
% CompletePercentage of the total Stories (Planned + Added) completed on the last day of the in the sprint.
