Help with Burnup / Burndown ?
I'm trying to build a burnup or burndown by feature. I know that's not a native feature in ADO right now, so I built it using tags.
Even though most of the stories were written (and some completed) well in advance of May 17, I created the tag on the 17th, and it appears they're being plotted against the last changed date.
Am I doing something wrong, or is this known behavior?

Hi, what you are seeing sounds related to how Azure DevOps Analytics tracks work item history and changed dates. If the tag was added later, the chart may treat that as the point where the item entered the filtered data set. For feature-level burnup or burndown, I would try an Analytics View or Power BI query based on parent/child hierarchy instead of relying on a tag added after the work already existed.
Hi kmbodan​ . I've been frustrated with the out-of-the-box burndown widget in ADO for many years. I finally got fed up and created my own dashboard extension widget the does proper Epic and Feature burndown charts. It's still in private preview. I'm looking for a small number of ADO users to try my widget and give me feedback. You can find a description of my Portfolio Burndown Chart at

Let me know if you'd be interested in giving it a try.
