Display how long an issue has been in a "workflow step/list" on issue board
Problem to solve
As a project/product/engineering manager,
I need to understand how long an issue has been in "state",
So I can quickly identify blocks, delays, bandwidth concerns, etc and help my team resolve any concerns
Intended users
User experience goal
Simple, non-intrusive
Proposal
Counter that displays time in "state" in top right corner of issue card:
- Should be an option in each list configuration (like WIP)
- Counter should be in a consumable format and metric (hrs/days?)
- MVC should be simple math based on the time between list transitions for that board (technically label changes)
Documentation
We would need to update issue board docs
What does success look like, and how can we measure that?
- track number of boards with a counter enabled
- track number of lists with a counter enabled
