IssueTrackerProduct

Every status an issue can be in sort of corresponds to a value of progress. This howto explains how to enable a calculation of an "overall status progress".

Since the "progress value" for each status that you have in your issuetracker is highly subjective the default installation does not assume any scores for each status. It could also be that you have modified the usual list of status (eg. Open, Halfopen, Taken, ... etc).

To set these score values, go to the Properties tab inside your issuetracker instance. Once there, click the Advanced sub tab and notice the link under the explaination of the Statuses property. Click that link, which takes you to the "Status scores" management page.

Enter appropriate percentages for each status. For example if you think an issue being "Taken" means that it's 25% into full completion, then select 25 in the "taken" drop-down.

If you have a status that "doesn't really count", such as "Info" you can just select n/a on that and it is then ignored in the statistics calculation later.

You'll see the calculated value of your overall status progress on the "Status scores" management page and on the More Statistics page of your issuetracker.

Bare in mind that this is not a scientific measure to make a big deal about. See it more like a fun addon that can give some indication of what's going on inside your issuetracker. Never make any promised to your boss or yourself about this value; because as soon as you do so, you'll misuse the issuetracker just to skew this calculated average.
