Velocity Reports

Velocity Reports show velocity charts for completed sprints.

Velocity Reports are available for Scrum boards only:

  1. Open the board.

  2. Click Reports.

  3. Click Velocity Velocity.

  4. From the Estimation drop-down list, select Estimated Days, Story Points, or Number of Issues.

  5. Depending on the value selected in Estimation, a Velocity Chart is displayed for committed and completed values.

    If you selected Story Points in the Estimation drop-down list, the chart will also display the Suggested Capacity for each sprint as a dashed horizontal line.

A Velocity Report includes a Velocity chart, showing a graph of the last seven completed sprints for the selected estimation. It also shows a table that lists completed sprints, the number of issues in each sprint, estimated values committed, and estimated values completed. Active sprints aren’t shown or listed.

You can use the Velocity Report to plan the amount of work that can be committed to future sprints. Managers can see whether the team met the original estimation and can plan the effort required for new or future sprints.

At the bottom of the page, there is a sprint table, whose columns are determined by the value you selected in the Estimation drop-down list.
