At a glance

Catch stuck work before it hurts

Delivery slips quietly — a day here, a week there. This makes that visible.

Spot stuck work early

Overdue and at-risk tiles with trends show today's problems, not the retro's.

Measure the whole flow

Five reports — matrix, averages, aging WIP, ping-pong and CFD — from one scan.

Act without leaving Jira

Comment, snooze, ignore or export — right from the table row.

What it does

Time in Status — Status Aging Alerts for Jira tracks how long issues sit in each workflow status and alerts before stuck work slips. Set per-status thresholds — picked from your project's real workflow, with optional business-hours counting — and Time in Status surfaces what's overdue or at risk today on a dashboard with trends and a sortable issue table.

Dig deeper with five reports — time-in-status matrix, averages, aging WIP, ping-pong and CFD — or open the issue panel on any Jira issue for its health banner, lifecycle path and status history. Then comment, snooze, ignore or export to follow up.

Features

From "what's stuck?" to "handled"

Dashboard

See overdue and at-risk issues

Colored Overdue, At risk, On track and Avg age tiles with sparkline trends and delta chips. Click a tile to filter the Jira-style issue table — sortable, with a column chooser and CSV export — and scan the analytics cards for top bottleneck statuses, work that needs attention, aging breakdown and health distribution.

Reports

Five time-in-status reports from one scan

Time in status matrix with heat shading and over-threshold cells in bold red, sortable averages, an aging WIP scatter of status age vs threshold, ping-pong detection for issues bouncing between two statuses, and a CFD cumulative flow diagram. Each report has an explainer, freshness stamp and CSV download.

Take action

Comment, snooze, ignore and export

From the table row menu: open the Flow report, open the issue, add a comment, snooze for 24h, 3d or 1w (unsnooze when plans change), ignore or restore. Alerts stay in-app, go out as rate-limited Jira notifications, or arrive as a daily digest.

Issue panel

Issue health on every Jira issue

A health banner shows OVERDUE, AT RISK or ON TRACK with the current status age, threshold and over-by time. Stat tiles cover total flow time, transitions, bottleneck and threshold, followed by the lifecycle path, status history and a per-issue Flow report with CSV export.

Thresholds

Per-status thresholds and business hours

Set a threshold per status — picked from your project's real workflow statuses, live from Jira — with an at-risk percentage that warns before the deadline. Optionally count only business hours, timezone-aware, instead of calendar time.
