Issue analytics for groups

Introduced in GitLab 11.5.

Issue analytics is a bar graph which illustrates the number of issues created each month. The default time span is 13 months, which includes the current month, and the 12 months prior.

To access the chart:

  1. On the left sidebar, select Search or go to and find your group.
  2. On the left sidebar, select Analyze > Issue analytics.

You can also access the chart from the Value Streams Dashboard through the New issues drill-down report.

Hover over each bar to see the total number of issues.

To narrow the scope of issues included in the graph, enter your criteria in the Search or filter results… field. Criteria from the following list can be typed in or selected from a menu:

  • Author
  • Assignee
  • Milestone
  • Label
  • My reaction
  • Weight

You can change the total number of months displayed by setting a URL parameter. For example, https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/issues_analytics?months_back=15 shows a total of 15 months for the chart in the GitLab.org group.

Enhanced issue analytics

Introduced in GitLab 16.4 with a flag named issues_completed_analytics_feature_flag. Disabled by default.

On self-managed GitLab, by default this feature is not available. To make it available, an administrator can enable the feature flag named issues_completed_analytics_feature_flag. On GitLab.com, this feature is not available. This feature is not ready for production use.

Enhanced issue analytics display the additional metric “Issues closed”, which represents the total number of resolved issues in your group over a selected period. You can use this metric to improve the overall turn-around time and value delivered to your customers.
