What is a Hill Chart?
A hill chart is a simple yet powerful way to visualize the progress of tasks:
Uphill Phase: This is where you’re figuring things out, identifying blockers, or solving problems.
Downhill Phase: This is where you’re making it happen andexecuting tasks, that are clearly defined and ready to be completed.
...
Navigate to any Jira Epic in your project.
Click the “Apps” button under the Epic Name → “Easy Progress”
Look for the Easy Progress section in the Epic view.
...
Use the configuration options to select specific child tasks to include on the hill chart.
This allows you to focus only on the tasks that matter most.
...
3. Update Task Progress
Drag and drop task dots along the hill chart to indicate progress.
Move dots from the uphill side to the downhill side as tasks transition from problem-solving to execution.
...
When moving a task dot, you’ll be prompted to add a comment.
Use this feature to explain why a task’s progress has changed or add relevant details for your team.
Comments are saved as standard Jira task comments for easy reference.
...
When clicking “Save” without entering any comment - only progress and dot position would be updated
Best Practices
Regular Updates: Keep the hill chart updated to reflect the current progress and avoid misalignment.
Collaborate with Comments: Use comments to provide transparency and ensure everyone understands the context of changes.
Focus on Priorities: Display only the tasks that are critical to your Epic’s success.
