Here's the description of these predefined values.

BugFix % (Time)Displays the percentage of time scheduled and spent on bugs, compared to the time scheduled and spent on all sub-issues. Uses JIRA time tracking fields.

WSJF (SAFe)

Weighted Shortest Job First metric, based on recommendations from Scaled Agile Inc. Requires setting up the following numerical fields:

  • Job Size
  • User/Business Value
  • Time Criticality
  • Risk Reduction

If you have such fields but they are not numeric (for example, a select list), edit the formula and replace the usage of a variable with a CASE() function, where you can assign individual numerical weights to each option.
