Velocity Chart (Legacy)

Use Velocity Charts to visualize the amount of work done in two or more Sprints.

Our new Sprint Velocity cards offer improved accuracy and performance enhancements!

Custom Sprint Durations cannot be used with legacy Sprint Dashboard cards. If you need to use Custom Sprint Durations with Sprint reporting cards, switch to our new Sprint Velocity, Burnup, and Burndown cards.

Sprint card feature availability and limits vary by plan and user role. Learn more

Velocity Chart cards

Velocity Chart cards are time-based. Time-based cards display your tasks differently. Learn more about time-based cards.

Velocity average is average based on the measurement you choose to represent the amount of work. Velocity average displays in the upper-right corner of a Velocity card.

Tasks are broken down into weekly intervals and average velocity is displayed on the graph.
