WIP Aging Charts

Display Settings & Export

Control the chart display, switch to a data table view, and export your WIP aging data.

Data Table View

Switch from the scatter plot to a tabular list of all WIP items with their age details.

  • Toggle the view using the Chart / Table switcher in the gadget header
  • Enable "Open table view by default" in Display Settings so the gadget always starts in table mode

The data table is useful for:

  • Sharing exact age numbers with stakeholders
  • Exporting specific items for follow-up
  • Reviewing items without the scatter plot visual

Common Use Cases

Daily Standup Review

Set the threshold to your team's SLA (e.g., 10 days). Open the chart at standup - any dot past the line needs a conversation. No sorting or filtering required.

Kanban SLE Tracking (85th Percentile)

Enable the percentile line at 85. The line value tells you: "85% of our in-progress work resolves within X days." Track this number over time to improve predictability.

Sprint Retrospective

Run the WIP Aging report at the end of a sprint. Issues with high age that did not complete are candidates for retrospective discussion - were they blocked? Under-specified? Too large?

SLA Breach Prevention

Set the threshold at your SLA boundary (e.g., 5 business days for P1 bugs). Run the chart daily and escalate any dot to the right of the threshold before it becomes a formal breach.
