What is the challenge? |
Teams often track both requirements and to-dos within a feature or epic, but the current progress calculation options force you to choose between tracking one or the other. If you select "Calculate from requirements completed," your to-dos are ignored in the progress calculation, and vice versa. This creates an incomplete picture of actual work completion, especially when teams use requirements for defining "what" needs to be built and to-dos for tracking "how" it gets done. Users must either manually adjust progress or accept that their progress metrics don't reflect all the work being tracked. |

What is the impact? |
Inaccurate progress reporting leads to poor visibility into actual feature completion status for stakeholders, portfolio managers, and team members. This can result in missed deadlines, incorrect prioritization decisions, and a lack of confidence in the reporting data. Teams may spend extra time manually updating progress or creating workarounds, reducing the value of using both requirements and to-dos as intended. For organizations that rely on Aha! for roadmap accuracy and status reporting, this limitation undermines trust in automated progress tracking. |
Describe your idea |
Add new progress calculation options that combine requirements and to-dos:
Optionally, allow users to set weighting (e.g., requirements count for 70% of progress, to-dos for 30%) to reflect the relative importance of each work type. This would give teams accurate, automated progress tracking that reflects all the work they're managing in Aha!. |
In ADO, we use Features and below that Product Backlog Items and Bugs and below that Tasks.
In ADO, the features progress can be calculated as "Progress by all Work items", which leads as an example to 68% progress. In Aha! Roadmaps I have at the moment no chance to get these 68% to display.
It's only 26% by
calculate from features
calculate from features and dependents
or 0% by
calculate from features completed
calculate from features and dependents completed
calculate from to-dos completed
calculate from to-dos and dependents completed
please add an option to use "calculate from all work items (or requirements) completed"
