Predictability chart

Predictablity chart in EasyBI

Predictability is "the ability of a scrum team to plan their work in an efficient manner, as to be able to follow through on the created plan."

It is important to note that Predictability does not speak to the value of the items built; it is essential to always link a Predictability chart to a results chart like Business Value, in order to understand what the team truly brings to the organisation.

The EasyBI report draws on data from the YME Jira instance to create an automatic chart for all scrum teams. 

TEAM SELECTION: Any team from Jira field "Yamaha Team" can be selected in the dropdown, even though not all teams work using scrum. For this reason it is important to be aware which teams actually work in sprints, and not use the graph for other teams.

ISSUETYPE SELECTION: It is possible to make your own selection of relevant issuetypes. The standard issuetypes considered in this report are: Bug, Change Request, Defect, Incident, Spike, Story, and Task.

PERIOD SELECTION: It is possible to make your own selection for the period. The standard period considered in this report is 6 monts into the past, plus 3 months into the future. This should allow insight into the recent past to be used in retrospectives, plus insight into the planning for upcoming quarter as forecast.

SPRINT SELECTION: The standard sprints considered in this report are those Active, Closed, and Future (meaning all sprints). It is recommended not to change this.

Let us consider how the data is defined based on an example.
