Burndown Chart enhancements for better predictability

1. Working Days (Reports page and Entity pages) There is now a Workspace level setting to set your Working Days. The Default Working days are Monday through Friday, inclusive. All calculations, metrics, and lines on the Burndown Chart take Working Days into account to give you a more accurate representation of your work. Currently, only the Burndown Chart accounts for non-working days, but the charts will be updated soon.
2. Metrics (On entity pages only)
   Trailing Average Velocity - This Trailing Average Velocity will scale based on x-axis of the entity. If the entity is < 180 days, the chart uses a 7 Day Trailing Average velocity (the sum of all completed stories including stories completed during Non-Working Days divided by the number of Working Days); if the entity is >=180 days and <2 years, the chart uses a 4 week trailing average; if the entity is >= 2 years the chart uses a 3 month trailing average. For all running averages, the 
   Projected End Date - The anticipated end date is based on the Actual Stories Remaining, 7 Day Trailing Average Velocity, and Working Days.
   Required Velocity to Finish Work by Due Date - If the entity has an end date, this is the rate at which work needs to be completed for each Working Day to finish by the end date.
3. Ideal and Projected Lines - Both lines always start today, but show up in different scenarios.
   Ideal Line: The ideal line represents the number of Stories/Points that need to be completed each interval in order to complete the entity on time. The ideal line only shows on uncompleted entities that are started or unstarted and that have a due date that is in the future. The line always starts at today. and the starting value will be the same as the "Actual Stories/Points Remaining". The line does not start decreasing until the following day and the line always ends on the due date. Entities with due dates that have already passed will not see Ideal Lines (a due date is passed if it is before today).
   Projected Line: The "Projected Line" represents the number of Stories/Points that are projected to be completed based on the average velocity of completed Stories/Points. The projected line only shows on uncompleted entities that are unstarted or started and that do not have a due date. 

Newly designed, faster, Epics table is now available.

Filter the Reports page by Story Owner

Updated Cumulative Flow Diagram with new Sum Using filter and more

• Sum Using filter to the CFD
• Added the CFD to the Reports Page
• Bookmark your Chart

• Everywhere it appears, the CFD now has a "Sum Using" filter next to the already pre-existing "Workflow" filter. The Workflow filter still filters the chart data so that only stories pertaining to that Workflow are included in the chart's data. The Sum using filter just changes the aggregate type for the data: You can select either "Story count" to see the number of stories in each Workflow State, or you can select "Points" to see the breakdown by Story Points.
• The CFD now appears on the Reports page, where it didn't exist previously. It obeys all top-level filters on the page. The chart-level Workflow filter works the same as the one in the Time Spent in Workflow State Chart: Using the Project filter at the top of the Reports page will narrow the available options in the chart's Workflow filter. If Marketing is selected in the Workflow filter, and the Project filter is updated to include only Projects within Engineering, the Workflow filter for the CFD will automatically switch to Engineering.
• The CFD now appears on Project pages, where it did not exist previously. The start date is the creation date of the project, and the end date is today. If the range ends up being more than 183 days, we switch the interval to weeks, and if the range is more than 730 days we switch to months.
• The CFD still appears on the Epic and Iteration pages, but now uses the interval calculation (see above) to determine if it should display days/weeks/months. And it now has the Sum Using filter as well to determine the aggregate type.
• The "Sum Using" and "Workflow" filter values are now stored in the URL for all pages where the CFD exists, which means they are bookmarkable (if you always want to see Marketing by Points, bookmarking the URL will load those filter values if they're in the URL)
• On the Reports page, as usual, users can choose the interval with the Group By filter. Day / Week / and Month are supported, but Iteration is not supported.
