Leveraging Percent Change Indicator with Jira Date-Type Fields in Tiles View
When you choose to see your Jira data in Tiles View, our Performance Objectives app provides additional insights for better analysis. All date-type fields available and selected for “Display by” (or the x-axis of your chart) include a percent change indicator. This indicator uses the first date segment displayed on the chart as the starting point for its calculation, and each subsequent value shows the change from the previous one.
The percent change indicator facilitates trend identification, performance tracking, and benchmarking by visually representing relative increases or decreases from a baseline. This feature enables quick assessment of performance changes over time, aiding in the identification of trends and deviations from established benchmarks, thus supporting data-driven decision-making.
