Status on All Iterations Report

TFS 2017 | TFS 2015 | TFS 2013

After work has progressed on several iterations, also known as sprints, you can view the team progress by viewing the Status on All Iterations report. This report helps you track the team's performance over successive iterations.

For information about how to access, refresh, or manage reports, see Reporting Services Reports.

Note

This report requires that the team project collection that contains your team project was provisioned with SQL Server Reporting Services. This report is not available if Report Reports does not appear when you open Team Explorer and expand your team project node.

You can use this report to answer the following questions:

  • Is steady progress being made across all iterations?
  • How many stories did the team complete for each iteration?
  • How many hours did the team work for each iteration?
  • For each iteration, how many bugs did the team find, resolve, or close?

Prerequisites

To view this report, you must be assigned or belong to a group that has been assigned the Browser role in Reporting Services. For more information, see Add users to team projects.

Data in the report

The Status on All Iterations report presents a snapshot of work that the team accomplished across several iterations, as the following illustration shows. The data is derived from the data warehouse.

Example Status on All Iterations Report

For each iteration that is defined for the product areas that you specify, this report displays the following information:

  • Stories Closed: The number of user stories that have been closed. These values are derived from the current values specified for the iteration and the state of each user story.

  • Progress (Hours): A two-bar numeric and visual representation that represents the values for Original Estimate (grey), Completed (green) and Remaining (light blue) based on the rollup of hours that are defined for all tasks. These values are derived from the current values that are specified for the iteration and the hours for each task.

  • Bugs: A numeric value and visual representation for all bugs, grouped by their current states of Active (blue), Resolved (gold) and Closed (green). These values are derived from the current values that are specified for the iteration and the state of each bug.

    You can choose an iteration to access the Burndown and Burn Rate report for that iteration. For more information, see Burndown and Burn Rate.

Required activities for tracking work items

For the Status on All Iterations report to be useful and correct, the team must carry out the following activities for tracking work items:

  • Define user stories, tasks, and bugs, and specify the Iteration and Area paths for each.

    Note

    For information about how to define iteration and area paths, see Define area paths or Define iteration paths.

  • Specify the Original Estimate, Completed, and Remaining fields for each task or subtask, and update the Completed and Remaining fields during the iteration.

    Important

    If you subdivide a task into subtasks, specify hours only for the subtasks. These hours are rolled up as summary values for the parent task and the user story. For more information, see Address inaccuracies published for summary values.

  • Update the State of each story, task, and bug as it progresses from active to closed.

Interpret the report

The Status on All Iterations report shows work progress across iterations that are defined for the product areas that you specify. For information about how to filter the report, see Filtering the Report later in this article.

Questions answered by the report

You can review the report to determine how many stories are ready to release and to better understand the rate of the team's progress. For example, you can find answers to the following questions:

  • Did the scope of work for each iteration closely match the team capacity?

  • Does the number of stories closed in each iteration correspond to your expectations?

  • Is the team resolving and closing more bugs with successive iterations?

  • How many stories can the team ship today?

Healthy version of report

A healthy Status on All Iterations report shows more progress with each successive iteration, as the following illustration shows.

Unhealthy version of report

An unhealthy Status on All Iterations report might show one or more of the following indicators:

  • No stories were closed in one or more iterations.

    You might want to review the story size and determine whether the team can define smaller stories.

  • The number of estimated and completed hours vary widely within or across iterations.

    You might want to review how well you're sizing your stories and how well the team is estimating work. When the estimated and completed hours match closely within an iteration, it indicates that the team is well positioned to progress at a known rate.

  • Inconsistent progress made across past iterations.

    You might want to determine whether any blocking issues haven't been identified or tracked.

  • Number of bugs being found is not increasing with each successive iteration.
