Breach Forecasting
Breach Forecasting highlights open issues that are likely to miss their SLA early — often before the live countdown turns red — so you can act while there is still time. Advanced
Forecasting is an Advanced edition feature. On Standard installs the Forecast section is locked.
What it does
The Radar tells you what is breaching now or very soon. Forecasting looks further ahead: it highlights which open issues are likely to breach their SLA and surfaces them early, often before the live countdown shows any warning — so you can step in while there is still budget left. It applies to duration-based SLA goals (those measured in working time).
What you see
Each flagged issue shows four things, so you can prioritise at a glance: a risk band, a breach likelihood, a confidence level, and a short note summarising it.
Risk bands
| Band | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Breaching | Already past its deadline — it has missed, not a prediction |
| High | Very likely to breach |
| Medium | Could go either way |
| Low | Unlikely to breach |
Confidence
Confidence tells you how strongly to rely on a given forecast. Where Quartz cannot be sure, it says so rather than showing false precision — so a low-confidence flag is a hint to check, not a guarantee.
How to use it
Work the list top-down: start with Breaching and high-confidence High issues, since those have the least budget left, then move down the bands. Use Forecasting as an early-warning triage queue alongside the Radar — the Radar shows what is breaching now, Forecasting shows what is heading that way.
Your data stays in Atlassian
Forecasting runs entirely inside Atlassian on your own Jira data — there is no external service, no cross-customer model, and no data egress. Like every Quartz view, it is scoped to the issues you can already see in Jira, so a forecast only ever covers issues you could open yourself — see Permissions & data posture.
Forecast vs Radar
The two screens answer different questions and complement each other:
| Radar | Forecast |
|---|---|
| What is breaching now or within a fixed window | What is likely to breach, flagged early |
| Standard and Advanced | Advanced only |
| Bucketed by time-to-breach | Ranked by risk |
