Hello,

 

I have recently got my LucidSpark connected to Azure DevOps. I want to create a Timeline/Gantt chart which has hierarchy also. I checked couple of templates and found a template named (Gantt Chart with milestone example) but it has no option to integrate Azure Card for Lucid Spark. There are a couple of template but has no option to integrate Azure cards or missing some of the below requirement. 

My requirements are bit different. I want to create a project timeline/gantt chart with hierarchy so that I can say EPIC>Feature>User story>Bug hierarchy and we have 2 more fields BI area and Component BI which has Parent and Child relationship How should I create this?

 

Any help or video which explains the data linking would be appreciated

Hi ​@SharmilShah, thank you for your post! If you’d like to use Azure Devops cards in the gantt chart , I recommend using the timeline feature in Lucidspark for more enhanced options.

Thank you  ​@Leianne C  for looking into and replying back. I have gone through the template but I need to show progress bar by each user story. How could I do that?


Hi ​@SharmilShah, thank you for following up! It sounds like the progress bar function described in this Help Center article may be suitable for your use-case. You can use a progress bar to see a breakdown of story point values and statuses in a group of Lucid Cards. The linked article has more details on how to add this and set it up. 


Hope this helps! If you have any questions, please let us know!


Thanks ​you ​@Leianne C for taking a look and reply back. I have already explored this option. I am looking for each work item level progress bar like below:

 

 

I tried above template also but it needs data to be updated manually rather than Azure cards sync. If it can work with dynamic data, I can get data into smartsheet and it can be created from smartsheet table. OR exporting a CSV and creating above template but it should be dynamic and updating each fields automatically once data refresh or file replace happens. Thought?


Hi ​@SharmilShah, thank you for the response! The template you are looking at uses the dynamic shapes feature from Lucidchart and you will need to link data to it using the data-linking feature. If you linked data from Google Sheets or Microsoft 365 Excel, changes made to your data should automatically sync and reflect in the shapes in Lucidchart. 


These two short courses from the Lucid Training Labs might also be helpful with understanding how these features work:
