Assignee Churn per Issue(5.3.9)

High assignee churn per issue — multiple ownership changes on a single ticket — can reflect genuine ownership confusion, and whatever its cause it makes the record of who was accountable harder to follow. If an issue changes hands frequently before being closed, it becomes harder to identify who was ultimately responsible for its resolution. This heatmap shows where per-issue churn is highest.

What you can conclude

• A dark cell at a specific project-and-type combination means issues of that type in that project change hands more often than elsewhere; a reviewer could ask how ownership of that work is decided.
• A project that is dark across all issue types shows churn on every kind of work in it, so the question is how ownership is set across the project rather than for one type.
• A uniformly light heatmap means issues mostly stay with one owner across all work categories.

Heatmap with projects on one axis and issue types on the other. Cell color encodes the average number of distinct assignee changes per issue for that combination. Darker cells indicate more churn.
