Key Outcomes
- Gain real-time visibility into sprint progress, scope changes, and work state distribution.
- Identify and forecast risks related to sprint completion to enable proactive adjustments.
- Use metrics like story points completed versus time elapsed to assess if the team is on track to meet sprint goals.
- Highlight missing story estimates or blocked work that may impede sprint delivery.
- Customize reports and visualizations to align with your team’s workflow and reporting requirements.

Indicators
- Scrum: Sum of story points of all stories in the current sprint
Generates the scope series in the Sprint Burndown and Burnup reports. The scope series indicates the amount of work (in story points) that is the planned for the sprint.
- Scrum: Sum of story points of active stories in the current sprint
Generates the completed series in the Sprint Burndown and Burnup reports. The completed series indicates the amount of work (in story points) completed in the sprint.
- Scrum: Time elapsed in sprint
Calculates the time to be displayed in the Time Elapsed widget.
- Scrum: Count of all stories in the current sprint
Generates the area series in the Sprint Cumulative Flow Diagram report. It indicates the number of stories in the current sprint.
- Scrum: Percent Completed by Points
- Calculates the amount of work (in percentage) completed for the sprint. The value is the result of the following formula:
([[Scrum: Sum of story points of completed stories in current sprint]]/[[Scrum: Sum of story points of all stories in the current sprint]]*100)
Breakdowns
- Scrum: Sprint
- Scrum: Current Sprint
- Scrum: State
Widgets
- Scope
Indicates the amount of work in story points that is planned for the sprint. This widget lets you see at a glance how much work must be completed to achieve the sprint goal. It also lets you drill down to detail on the stories planned into the sprint.
- Percent Completed
Indicates the percentage of work that has been completed in the sprint using story points. This widget lets you see at a glance how much work has been completed in the sprint. Together with the adjacent Time Elapsed widget, these widgets let you see your progress. You can check whether you are completing work at a rate consistent with achieving the sprint goal on schedule.
- Time Elapsed
Indicates the percentage of time that has elapsed between the start date and planned end date of the sprint. Together with the adjacent Percent Completed widget, these widgets let you see your progress. You can check whether you are completing work at a rate consistent with achieving the sprint goal on schedule.
- Committed Points
Indicates the committed scope (in number of story points) of the sprint. Together with the adjacent Scope widget, these widgets let you compare the scope committed at the start of the sprint with the current scope of the sprint.
Note:This widget is not visible by default. You can add it from Reports to your dashboard. For more information, see Edit a responsive dashboard.- Missing Estimates
- Indicates the total number of stories in the sprint that are missing estimates. It is required that you use estimates for the other indicators, widgets, and reports on this dashboard to be meaningful.Tip:If you do not estimate stories, enter a "1" in the Story Points field. The other indicators, widgets, and reports will then effectively function by count.
- Blocked Work
Indicates the amount of work (in story points) in the sprint that is blocked.
