Is your backlog growing or shrinking?
A created vs resolved chart for your Jira dashboard. Pick a project or a saved filter: the gadget counts what was created and what was resolved per day, week or month, and says in one sentence whether the backlog grows.

Per period, or as running totals.
Bars per day, week or month, or two running totals with the gap shaded between them, over 30 days, 3, 6 or 12 months.

Every number can be checked.

Questions, answered.
- Where do I find it?
- Edit a Jira dashboard, choose Add gadget and pick Created vs Resolved.
- What counts as resolved?
- A work item moved to a Done column, counted on the date it got there.
- Why is the last period lighter?
- It is still running, so its figures are not final yet.
- Can it count story points?
- Yes. Above 1,000 work items on one side the gadget does not add up story points and says so; work items are always counted.
- Does it work in French?
- Yes. The gadget follows each person’s Jira language, in English or French, in light and dark themes.
