Stuck-in-Status Detector

Velocity charts only measure issues that are moving. An issue that has been sitting in "In Review" for 18 days without a single status change doesn't appear in any transition count — but it is still a delivery blocker, still consuming someone's attention, and still accumulating delay.

This detector surfaces those issues directly. It identifies any issue that has been in its current status significantly longer than the normal time for that stage — and ranks them by how overdue they are.

What you can conclude

• Issues at the top of this list are your most critical delivery blockers — they need an owner to either move them forward or explicitly descope them.
• A long list of stuck issues in the same status (e.g. all stuck "In Review") points to a shared bottleneck — a process or capacity problem at that specific stage.
• An issue stuck with no assignee is the highest-priority case — it has no current owner and no mechanism for progress.

How this chart works

Ranked alert list showing issues where the time in current status exceeds 2.5× the median time for that status. Columns include: issue key, project, current status, last actor, days stuck, and severity. Ordered by days stuck descending.
