"Organization DevOps effectiveness scorecard" template

This dashboard template is only available for Atlassian Data Lake connections that include Jira data and have scope of data set to “All”. Read more about how to connect to the Atlassian Data Lake.

This dashboard displays organizational-level scorecards to help highlight how the whole company is performing with a department-level aggregated view.

Work types to configure as bugs

“Dropdown” control to select specific work types that you want this dashboard to consider as bugs.

You can filter all charts on the dashboard by the “Calendar” control labeled Date range, work types to consider, and work types to ignore.

Mapping categories of work

Mapping work items into categories of work helps teams keep track of and prioritize the effort spent in each category. At Atlassian, we bucket the work (in other words, Jira work items) into four categories: Run the business, Change the business, Developer productivity, and Team management.

To map the work categories:

  1. Use the “Text input” controls to specify the names of the categories of work

  2. Use the “Dropdown” controls to specify the Jira work item labels that map to each category of work

Note that if a work item maps to multiple labels, the charts will map the work item to the first label match in the list.
