What does Time in Status reveal in your Jira workflow that other metrics don’t?
Time in status is one of the most important metrics in Jira for teams, as it shows where exactly time is being spent in your workflow.
Classic metrics such as velocity, completed tasks, and burndown provide aggregate numbers, but they do not answer the questions: “Where?” and “Why?”
That’s exactly what time in status helps with. It shows how long issues spend in each status. For example, a native Jira report may show that a task was completed in 15 days. Time in status will show that the task spent 1 day in “To Do,” 3 days in “In Development,” and 5 days in “Review.”
Native Jira reports do not show this metric, but the Time in Status app by SaaSJet, available on the Atlassian Marketplace, helps generate this type of report.
It allows you to:
- track different time in status reports
- group statuses
- identify bottlenecks across sprints, epics, and workflows
- visualize data with charts and graphs
- see workload distribution across assignees
- configure work calendars
- add time in status gadgets to your dashboard
