Enhance ITSM SLA Reporting with SLA Metric Distribution

The Performance Objectives: Charts for Jira app offers a robust metric distribution feature, allowing users to utilize SLA metrics, but also Time, Number, Dynamic metrics as fields and segment them into custom distribution slots using the ‘Slot Splitters’ functionality. Metric distribution enhances SLA metric management by providing valuable insights into compliance and performance directly on Jira dashboards. Custom time slots are crucial for monitoring response and resolution times, helping teams swiftly identify breaches and take corrective actions to maintain service quality and customer satisfaction.

In this chart, we apply a conditional expression for metric calculation and use custom slot splitters for the ‘Display by’ SLA metric. Additionally, the bars are stacked by ‘Priority.’
