Overview
The Jira Align power-up adds the following fields to your Trello cards:
- Work Item Type (drop-down, options of Story, Feature, or Defect). This means you can have a combination of stories, features, and defects on one board.
- Points (number field)
- Owner (drop-down)
Manage Trello cards
When you create a card in Trello, it displays on the Jira Align Kanban board in the same column and position. If you archive the card in Trello, the card is archived on the Jira Align board as well.
When you set a work item type on the back of a card, the card displays a badge on its front, indicating the work item type and the card’s point score, where applicable.
View the Cumulative Flow Diagram
The Cumulative Flow Diagram lets you visualize the amount of work in each state, and how quickly work items move from one state to another. The format is a stacked line graph, where each line represents the number of items in the Not Started, In Progress, and Completed states over the last 30 days.
Navigation and setup
To access the Cumulative Flow Diagram:
- From the upper-right of the board, click the Jira Align button.
- In the list of options that displays, select Cumulative Flow Diagram.
The Cumulative Flow Diagram displays. To set up the report:
- In the Not Started List dropdown menu, select one or more lists on your board to represent work that hasn’t begun yet.
- In the Completed List dropdown menu, select one or more lists on your board to represent work that has finished.
- In the Work Item Type dropdown menu, select one or more work item types to display on the chart: either features, stories, or defects.
- The Cumulative Flow Diagram updates to reflect the specified settings.
How are report values calculated?
Data for each day on the chart is captured at midnight in the timezone of the user who added the power-up to the board. Because data is captured at the very end of the day, the first points on the chart won’t appear until the day after the power-up is added.
Not Started = number of cards with the specified Work Item Type in Not Started List(s)
In Progress = number of cards with the specified Work Item Type in any lists that weren’t specified as Not Started or Completed Lists
Completed = number of cards with the specified Work Item Type in Completed List(s)
View the Burnup Chart

- In the list of options that displays, select Burnup Chart.
- In the Completed List dropdown menu, select one or more lists on your board to represent work that has finished.

Total = total points for all non-archived work items of the specified Work Item Type(s)
Guideline = average trend upwards from 0 to the total line, indicating the number of points that could be completed by the end of each day to reach the total by the chart end date
