Release status reports

Helix ALM includes the following built-in release status reports. See Adding release status reports.

Report name	Description
Burn Down Chart	Displays a graphical representation of work left to do versus time available for the project. The outstanding work, or backlog, is generally displayed on the vertical axis with time on the horizontal axis. Only available if time tracking is used and requires selecting a folder.
Burn Up Chart	Displays a graphical representation of work done versus time available for the project. The completed work, or effort, is generally displayed on the vertical axis with time on the horizontal axis. Only available if time tracking is used and requires selecting a folder with release planning enabled.
Cumulative Flow Chart	Displays a graphical representation of the flow of work through development phases over time. The estimated effort for completion of each item is grouped by each development phase (Not Started, In Progress, Done, and Accepted) over time. Only available if time tracking is used and requires selecting a folder with release planning enabled.
Folder Task Board / Folder Task Board Alternate Style	Displays the progress a team is making on tasks for an iteration. Displays columns and rows for each folder in the iteration and organizes the items in folders into columns for their current development phase (Not Started, In Progress, Done, and Accepted).

Folder Task Board With Configurable Columns	Displays the progress a team is making on tasks for an iteration. Organizes items in configurable columns based on the workflow states mapped to each column. Requires selecting a folder with release planning enabled.
