Use Sprint Velocity cards to accurately plan your team's upcoming Sprints. Velocity cards measure the average work completed by your team in your last three to ten sprints.
Our new Sprint cards offer improved accuracy and performance! Existing Sprint cards and legacy Velocity cards are still available.
What you'll need
- The Sprints and Sprints Points ClickApps must be enabled in your Workspace by an owner or admin.
- Sprint cards are available on the Business Plan and above.
Sprint Velocity cards
Cards are used to build custom Dashboards so you can report on and visualize your team's progress.
Velocity cards compare the work your team committed to finishing over three to ten sprints to the amount they finished. Velocity is calculated using the following values:
- Y-axis: Represents the measure of effort that's configured in your default Workspace or Sprint Folder Sprint settings.
- You can measure effort using Sprint Points and Time Estimates.
- X-axis: Represents your last 7 sprints by default. You can adjust the x-axis to reflect your last 3 to 10 sprints.
Sprint Velocity charts
Each Velocity card displays data in a Velocity chart. Sprint Velocity charts help you visualize work that's not getting completed, so you can plan your sprints more accurately!
The following values at the top of each Sprint Velocity chart are the sum of the cumulative data displayed in the chart:
- Overall velocity: The total average amount of work your team completed in all sprints.
- Equal to the value of the last Rolling average velocity.
- Average forecast: The total average amount of work your team estimated would be completed in all sprints.
- Equal to the value of the last Rolling average forecast.
- Sprints: The number of sprints displayed in the chart.
Hover over the chart to view more detail. Move your mouse across the chart to see the following data over time for each sprint:
- Forecasted: The amount of estimated work for each sprint.
- Represented in the chart by the gray bars.
- Completed: The work completed in each sprint.
- Measured by the number of tasks and subtasks in the sprint that were set to a Done or Complete status.
- Rolling average forecast: The total average amount of work your team estimated would be completed in all sprints divided by the number of sprints.
- As you move along the chart, this average is cumulative. The most recent sprint's rolling average forecast includes all sprints displayed in the chart.
- Rolling average velocity: The average total amount of work your team completed divided by the number of sprints.
- As you move along the chart, this average is cumulative. The last sprint's rolling average velocity includes all sprints displayed in the chart.
You must lock your forecast to indicate the end of sprint planning. This cannot be undone. Only tasks added to a sprint prior to locking your forecast are included in a Velocity chart.
