Work Item metrics overview
Work Item metrics are Work Item-related values (facts) that are calculated by Polarion on projects and project groups. There are two related calculations: trackeranalysis, which calculates metrics on projects, and trackeranalysis-projectgroup, which calculates metrics on project groups.
Value of any Work Item metric is one of the following types:
Positive whole numbers or zero (0)
A set of integer subvalues that is rendered as a bar with colored stripes, where width of each stripe is proportional to the integer subvalue. Each subvalue has an ID (called subkey) so that it can be referenced on, for example, a dashboard, and also a label that is displayed as tooltip when hovering above the respective stripe in the bar.
For example, 70%, rendered as a colored bar in a way similar to distribution.
Defines a traceability concept for Work Items. The value is a distribution of traceable and nontraceable items that satisfy itemsQuery, where traceable items are those from which users can follow the specified links (link'elements) in specified directions, and find at least one item that satisfies the coverageQuery. Items that satisfy both itemsQuery and coverageQuery are automatically considered traceable without checking links.
Calculates the sum of the values stored in a custom field.
Calculates the average of the values stored in a custom field.
You can configure Work Item metrics for projects. If you are not familiar with the basics of the different scopes, you should review:Administration Interface.
This configuration contains elements that define values that may be shown on a dashboard, or used in the definition of a trend chart.
