Use this chart to...

  • Illustrate the relative progress and size of Features within a release or project.
  • Engage stakeholders with a easily understood representation of the features and their level of progress

What the chart shows...

  • The relative size of the features as well as their level of completeness. 
  • Filter by state e.g. to show which features are currently being worked on or are about to be started
  • Can be used at both the feature or epic levels. 
    • Typically in TFS/VSTS. The feature is the parent of stories/bugs, whilst Epic is the grandparent. However, this can be changed, so your team may use different terms.
  • The 'unparented' row shows how many stories/bugs do not have a parent feature or grandparent epic.  You can choose to toggle this row on or  off


Caution: The accuracy of this chart depends on how well the work item hierarchy is maintained. If the proportion of unparented items is high then it is likely that the progress bars will be incomplete and inaccurate.
