Issues Cost Report

The Issue Costs Report gives insight on planned and actual costs and revenues, broken down by the issues that constitute the scope of a Folio. The report lets you quickly see what issues did cost more than what was planned, and on which ones money was saved. It also allows to filter costs by issue type, helping for instance to determine how much money was spent on bug fixing since the project began.

The issue report can be printed and exported to Excel format.

This report is available for Folios only.
