Calculations Lines

Configure what values your chart displays and add goal, trend, and average lines for context.

Calculation Types

By default, charts show the Count of issues. You can change this:

Count Calculation

The number of issues in each segment. This is the default.

Sum Calculation

The total of a numeric field across issues in each segment.

Use cases: Total Story Points by assignee, Total estimated hours by sprint

Average Calculation

The mean value of a numeric field for issues in each segment.

Use cases: Average story points per issue by type, Average complexity by component

Reference Lines

Add horizontal reference lines to provide context on Bar and Line charts.

Goal Line

What it is: A horizontal line at a specific value you set, representing a target.

How to Add

1. In Calculations tab, click "Goal, Trend or Average Line"
2. Select "Goal Line"
3. Enter the goal value (e.g., 50)
4. Enter a label (e.g., "Sprint Target")
5. Choose line style (solid or dashed)

Trend Line

What it is: A calculated line showing the overall direction of your data (increasing, decreasing, or flat).

The trend line is calculated using linear regression across your data points.

Average Line

What it is: A horizontal line showing the mean value across all segments.

Helpful for comparing individuals to team average.

Cumulative Total

What it is: Shows a running total that accumulates across segments, rather than individual values.
