Currently in-progress issues and how long each has been in its current status. Filters to In Progress / In Development / In Review only — the issues actively aging against throughput. Older dots are colored more urgently. Click a dot to open the issue in Jira. Use the date and project filters to focus the view.

How this chart works

Scatter plot with five vertical columns, one per aging bucket (0–3 days, 3–7, 7–14, 14–30, 30+ days). Each currently-in-progress issue is a single dot — placed in its bucket column on the X axis, positioned by days in WIP on the Y axis, colored by bucket (green → amber → orange → red → dark red), and sized linearly with days in WIP (diameter 10–32 px). Dots within a column carry a small horizontal jitter so overlapping issues stay individually visible.

Hover any dot to see the issue key, days in WIP, priority, and the timestamp it entered its current status. Click a dot to open the issue in Jira. A legend below the chart maps color to bucket and reminds you that size encodes age.
