How to hide "Others" bucket in milestone-based visualizations
Our main metric is the number of wider community Merge Requests merged per milestone, for which we created this visualization:
https://gitlab.biterg.io/goto/53371123a2c4f8db067eea76ad7f00bc
It being our key metric, it has to be as simple as possible and easy to understand at a glance.
At GitLab we also follow the DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) and SSoT (Single Source of Truth) principles, whereby ideally this visualization would be the only location (and thus SSoT), to which we link whenever we make a presentation or need to point to metrics in our hanbook.
In reality, whenever we need to share this metric with other team members or at the E-level, we end up creating a spreadsheet with the data every time, which defeats the purpose of having a visualization.
The main reasons for this are:
- Milestones are not shown in order (#35 (closed))
- Milestones need to be shown in ascending numerical order, as a timeline would (it's unclear to me if we can do that)
- The "Others" bar is not something we want to track in this context: it introduces confusion and overshadows the scale of the data we are interested in (the milestones)
There are ongoing conversations for 1. and 2. This issue is for 3. (the "Others" bar).
How can we hide "Others"? If it's not possible, are there any possible workarounds?
