Status Transition Frequency

The most-used status names across all workflow transitions in the last twelve months, ranked by how often work actually lands in each. Every bar is one distinct status name, sized by the transition count. The vertical axis is sorted descending so the busiest statuses sit at the top.

What you can conclude

• Near-duplicates point to drift. Two bars with the same name in different casing or spacing (READY FOR REVIEW next to Ready for review) means multiple workflows have introduced almost-identical statuses — JQL queries against either name miss half the relevant issues.
• Excess Done-bucket statuses suggest resolution sprawl. If you see several near-synonyms (Done, Completed, Resolved, Closed, Finished) all in the top 10, the team is using status names where the Resolution field should be doing the work.
• Obscure long-tail names with surprisingly high counts usually come from a single project's workflow that needs to be reconciled against the org-wide canon.
• Overall volume is informative. Many transitions = active team; very few = the team may not be moving issues through workflow, which is its own signal.
