Sprint reporting
Use Sprint Dashboard cards for Sprint reporting.
View for Sprint reporting
Dashboard view puts your Sprint-reporting Dashboards right next to your sprint tasks.
Drill-down view for Dashboard cards
Use drill-down view with certain Dashboard cards for more granular detail. See your Dashboard data next to your tasks.
Views for Sprint management
Views provide a way to visualize your tasks differently. Sprints are like Lists within a Sprint Folder. Like any List, you can visualize the tasks in a Sprint differently by applying a new view.
The following views are recommended specifically for Sprints:
- List view: Group, filter, and bulk-edit tasks quickly.
- Board view: Tasks are represented as cards, like a Kanban board.
- Team view: Track your team's progress by status, time estimate, Sprint Points, or any Custom Field that measures effort.
- Use the workload report in Team view to see your team's capacity.
Sprint settings
You can find management, planning, and reporting settings in each Sprint's Sidebar, overview, and location header.
Sprint Sidebar and Sprint statuses
Sprints in the Sidebar have dynamic icons so you can easily see the status of all the Sprints in your Sprint Folders. These statuses also display in the sprint location header.
These statuses are distinct from task statuses and cannot be changed.
Following are the three sprint statuses:
- Done: The icon is a filled green circle.
- In progress: The icon is a blue circle that starts partially filled. The icon fills in as the sprint progresses. The rate that the icon fills depends on the duration of the sprint.
-
Not started: The icon is a gray, dashed circle.
Sprint overview
To open a Sprint overview:
- Open a Space or Folder containing Sprints.
- In the Views Bar, select Overview.
Use the overview to see a high-level view of your Sprint and quickly make changes.
Sprint location header
The info in the location header of a Sprint List is based on the Sprint Settings for your Workspace.
If the Sprint Settings for a Folder differ from the Workspace settings, the Folder settings are reflected in the Sprint view.
To open a Sprint location header:
- Open a Sprint List.

Sprint status: Sprint status is automatically set according to the Sprint start day and time chosen in your Sprint settings. By default, this is Monday at 12:00 am.
Sprints have three statuses:

- In Progress: The Sprint has started but hasn't ended. In Progress Sprints have a blue and gray circle icon.
-
Done: Automatically changes to Ended on the sprint end date. Ended Sprints have a solid green circle icon.

- Any effort completed in this sprint will continue to be calculated until the sprint ends.
-
Confirm Sprint: Click Confirm Sprint to lock in the total Sprint Points or Time Estimates applied to the tasks. This number does not change if more effort is added after confirmation. This cannot be undone. Do not click Confirm Sprint until you are sure your team is done with sprint planning.
- This setting is used by our Velocity, Burnup, Burndown, and Sprint Action Report cards to calculate your team's progress.
