Metrics

Overview​

Metrics control how progress and data are visualized on each Work Item. From built-in progress tracking (counts and percentages) to fully customizable fields, Metrics help teams quickly quickly understand progress and make informed decisions at a glance.

Metrics

Progress Metrics​

Control which progress metrics are displayed on each Work Item. Metrics can be shown as raw counts or as percentages.

  • Show User Story / PBI Count: Displays the number of completed vs. total User Stories or PBIs.
  • Show Story Points / Effort: Shows progress based on completed vs. total Story Points or Effort.
  • Show Task Count: Displays the number of completed vs. total Tasks
  • Use Percent Complete: Converts the above metrics into percentages instead of counts.

Additional Metrics (Pro Feature)​

User Selected Metrics allow you to display any Azure DevOps field on Roadmaps and Kanban views, including custom fields. This makes it easy to tailor views to track the data that matters most for planning and decision-making.

  • Work Item Type (Top Dropdown): Select the Work Item Type (Epic, Feature, etc.) the metric applies to.
  • Field (Bottom Dropdown): Select the field to display for the chosen Work Item Type.

Aggregates​

Numeric fields (such as Comment Count) can be displayed directly or aggregated across child Work Items.
