The source data chart looks different in “Load Jira Issues” than it did when I used the legacy loaders

TBD

Please give us:

  • A CSV export of the Raw Data (not filtered) from ActionableAgile

  • The full issue changelog from one of the issues that you believe is showing incorrect data.

Jira issues don’t show time in certain statuses and too much time in others

Not understanding how ActionableAgile handles work that moves backwards in the workflow.

Read about how ActionableAgile handles work that moves backwards in the workflow.

Jira issues are showing up in the wrong column in the Aging Work In Progress chart or finished items are showing up in the Aging Work In Progress Chart

If you loaded a Jira board, the board mapping doesn’t account for any workflow states no longer available in your project (or states from other places that issues have moved from). If the workflow status are not mapped to an ActionableAgile workflow stage, they will be shown in the last known ActionableAgile workflow stage. The app basically doesn’t know anywhere else to put it.

Try loading via the filter used by the board and manually mapping the all historical workflow statuses used to see if this resolves your problem.

I am getting a message that at least 10 items are needed.

You are loading a new board, filter, or project and you don’t have many, or any, finished items based on how your AA workflow stages are configured. The chart should load regardless but you may get a warning that we can’t forecast effectively until you have at least 10 items completed.

Start by using the Aging Work In Progress chart to manage work to completion until you finish at least 10 items.

Jira issues are missing in the charts or showing where they should not

If you loaded a Jira board, the board mapping doesn’t account for any workflow states no longer available in your project (or states from other places that issues have moved from). If the workflow status are not mapped to an ActionableAgile workflow stage, they will be shown in the last known ActionableAgile workflow stage. The app basically doesn’t know anywhere else to put it.

Please give us:

You might have set a filter (either in the global chart controls or the controls for this chart) which removes issues.

If you see a green funnel on the left of the top bar, it means that there is at least 1 filter set, you can hover over it to see the list of the filter and where they were applied. You can either found them and reset the filter or clear your browser storage which will delete all settings.

The Cycle Time given in the Cycle Time Summary Gadget does not match the cycle time on the Cycle Time Scatterplot

  • The Mapping might be different

  • AA might not recognise all the transitions between the different stages

Please give us:

  • A screengrab of the configuration screen of the gadget - like this:

  • A screengrab of how the workflow is mapped in ActionableAgile (using the beta issue loader is best) - like this:

  • An export of your raw data from ActionableAgile (you can remove all columns except ID and the workflow stage columns if you like)

  • A data export from the dashboard gadget - which you get here:

My data set is missing.

ActionableAgile can save up to 12 of your (unshared) data sets.

Creating more will cause the oldest to be replaced with the newest.

Updating from an older version of ActionableAgile to a newer version can sometimes cause data sets to be lost as if the version difference is significant enough, the data set is not compatible anymore.

If none of those steps solve your problem, contact us and provide the following information, at minimum, to help with troubleshooting your data-loading issues:
