What Is the Purpose of this Chart?

The source data contains all of the data that is available to ActionableAgile. If a chart shows you something unexpected, this is the first place to look. You can see if the chart is rendering this data correctly. If it is but there is still a problem, then we can look and see if there is something wrong with the data transfer from your data source.

We may ask you for your source data to support you with a support issue. If we do, you can remove all unneeded, identifying data to protect your PI.
