The issue type (Story, Defect, etc) is necessary to differentiate planned work from unplanned work.

The control chart json does not provide the issue type.

2 potential options:

1. Have a different control chart (i.e. board) for each issue type we want to capture, and aggregate the data in the csv (or have multiple csv files exported).

2. Query the JSON REST API programatically to obtain the issue type for each issue.

Option 1 may be preferable, as querying the REST API for each issue is likely to be slow. Also makes the application more complicated - at the moment the application doesn't need access to the REST API.

This could be done in the application code, and/or by setting up the board(s) (and accompanying control charts) only to have issues which are not completed.

Is it worth doing this in the application code? Maybe not, it makes things more complicated.
Although maybe it is worth doing, as it will allow the application to still run if if the board has not been set up to exclude in progress issues for whatever reason.

Not sure what the time in the JIRA JSON will show as when an issue has been opened, worked on, closed, reopened, worked on, then closed.

Best to try this out with a real example to see what the JIRA JSON comes back with.

May well need to amend the calculation logic, lets see.

one way of doing this would be for pull requests to be automatically rejected if they don't comply with RuboCop

Did a quick manual test and it looks like this may be handled automatically.

• Add a test

• Update README

Having the application deployable on Heroku will ensure that it keeps to good conventions, e.g. https://12factor.net/

This was removed in 9099df5

May want to reinstate this at some point, both from a documentation (of the raw json, for completeness) and from a functionality (may well have a requirement where either or both of work rate and current time are needed for calculations)

e.g. a la https://cmheisel.github.io/project-status-dashboard/
