Data in the report

You can use the User Stories Progress report to understand how well the team is completing the stories that it defined for an iteration or release. This report is based on a PivotChart report that shows the last four weeks of data that was captured for User Stories and that is stored in the data warehouse.

Example User Stories report

Required activities for tracking user stories

For the User Stories Progress report to be useful and accurate, the team must perform the following activities:

  • Define user stories.
  • Update the State of each user story as it transitions from Active to Resolved to Closed.
  • (optional) Specify the Iteration path, Area path, or both of each user story if you want to filter by those fields.

Interpret the report

You should expect the User Stories Progress report to vary based on where you are in your product development cycle. Early iterations should show a gradual increase in the number of active User Stories. Iterations that are near the end of a product cycle should show a wide band of resolved and closed User Stories.

You can review the chart to determine the team's progress over time or during an iteration. Specifically, you can determine how much progress the team is making toward resolving and closing user stories.

Update and customize the report

You can update the User Stories Progress report by opening the report in Office Excel and changing the filter options for the PivotTable report. You can customize this report to support other views as the following table describes.

View Action
Burndown of user stories for an iteration Change the filter for Iteration (default=All)
Burndown of user stories for a product area Change the filter for Area (default=All)
Burndown of user stories for the last six, eight, or more weeks In the Columns PivotTable Field List, replace @@Last 4 weeks@@ with a different Set
