Reporting (15%-20%)

Question 1

Which agile report:

1. Helps you identify whether data from the current sprint can be used to determine future performance
2. Shows cycle time and lead time for your product, version, or sprint

Answer 1

Control chart:

Cycle Time (or Lead Time) for your product, version, or sprint. It takes the time spent by each issue in a particular status (or statuses) and maps it over a specified period. The average, rolling average, and standard deviation for this data are shown.

A Control Chart helps you identify whether data from the current sprint can be used to determine future performance. The less variance in the cycle time of an issue, the higher the confidence in using the mean (or median) as an indication of future performance.
This report is available for both scrum and kanban boards.

Question 2

What do Advanced Roadmaps allow a user to do?

Answer 2

Combine issues from boards, projects, and filters to create an all-encompassing plan that spans multiple teams or your entire organization.

You can use this plan to estimate release dates for cross-team projects, answer staffing and resource questions, or map out your organization’s yearly goals.

Question 3

What issues would this query return?
project = MARS and resolution changed from “Cancelled” to “Fixed”’

Answer 3

All issues in the MARS Project where the resolution was changed from Cancelled to Fixed

As a reminder, all Jira system fields supporting the “WAS” and “CHANGED” operators are: Fix Version, Priority, Assignee, Reporter, Status, Resolution (Fix PARSR mnemonic).

Question 4

What issues would this query return??
“project in (VENUS, NEPTUNE) AND (labels is EMPTY OR labels not in (“CHK”))”

Answer 4

All issues from the “VENUS” project and “NEPTUNE” project, except issues that have the label “CHK”.

The key idea here is that finding issues without a specific label requires including issues with an empty label. The first part of the JQL query is simple “project in (VENUS, NEPTUNE)” and selects issues from both projects. The second part “(labels is EMPTY OR labels not in (“CHK”))” returns issues that have either an empty label (i.e the Labels field is not set) or the labels field set but different from “CHK”.

Question 5

TRUE or False - You can start a Sprint that does not contain any issues?

Answer 5

False - A Sprint must contain issues but they do not need to have any estimations

Question 6

Identify a possible reason why the guideline would be missing from a Burndown Chart.

Answer 6

The Issues did not contain any story points/estimations at the start of the sprint.

Question 7

Scenario:
Your Jira instance has a Select List custom field named Application, which lists all the Atlassian offerings.

You need to write a JQL query that shows all issues due within the next month for Jira, Trello, and Jira Align applications

Answer 7

Applicitation IN (Jira, Trello, “Jira Align”) AND duedate>= startOfMonth(1) AND duedae <=endOfMonth(1)
