Documentation¶
Foreca3t generates Structure views that forecast, for every Epic, team, ART and release, when it will be done – and warn you while you can still act.
| Page | For |
|---|---|
| Getting started – Data Center | Structure admins on Jira Data Center |
| Getting started – Cloud | Structure admins on Jira Cloud |
| The model | everyone who reads the numbers |
| Configuration | the config file used by the builder and the command line |
What you get¶
| View | Hierarchy | Use |
|---|---|---|
| Full view | any (Version, ART, Team, PI) | the working view for RTEs and POs: estimates, load, forecast, data gaps |
| Release Outlook | Version → ARTs → Team | management: will the release hold, who is the bottleneck |
| ART / Train Status | ARTs → Team → Version | management: load, progress against the PI plan, data gaps |
The management views show only values that are comparable across teams – no Story Points.
Requirements¶
- Structure for Jira (Data Center, or Cloud)
- every Epic has one team, one Fix Version with a release date, one PI and an initial estimate in the Story Points field
- Stories hang directly below their Epic and carry their own estimate
- each team has its PI-Cap: the scope it actually finishes in one PI, in the same unit as the estimates
