Sprint progress
Hit every daily scrum meeting with a dose of insights. As you run through your board, see how your sprint’s tracking to understand the likelihood of completion.
Understand exactly how your sprint's progressing across each status category, making it easier for you and your team to pivot, set expectations, or see work through.
The bar is split by the number of story points, work items, or time assigned to each status category. If your project has story points enabled, the progress bar will update when points are added to each work item.
So, at a glance, you can understand the portion (and percentage) of work that hasn't been started, is in progress, or done.
Hover over each status category section to see a breakdown by story point, work item count or time estimate.
Sprint burndown
Keep an eye on your team’s sprint progress as it’s happening. By frequently tracking your output against your goal, you can shift focus, maintain momentum, or take a moment to revel at your pace.
The Y-axis represents the total amount of work committed to a sprint. As work’s completed, the percentage and corresponding blue line reduce, indicating how much work remains.
The grey horizontal line acts as a guide. It indicates roughly what percentage you’d expect to see at that point in time, in order to reach 0% by the end of your sprint.
Find your scope change information underneath the Burndown chart when you add, remove or modify work items after the sprint has started.
This expansion of the insight gives you more transparency over unplanned work. Scope change information will equip you with the right amount of detail to manage your team’s priorities effectively.
Hover over the sprint scope changes to reveal a tooltip with the most recent scope changes. You can also select these data points to see a list of affected work in a separate tab.
Overall, you’ll be able to track exactly how much work remains compared to how much work was planned. This helps you manage and pace effort gives you adequate time to respond to trends and allows faster decision-making to help your team achieve their sprint goals.
Work items for attention
Stay on top of flagged or blocked work items in your sprint or on your Kanban board. This will help you assess impact, pivot priorities, and continue to move work forward.
The work items for attention insight surfaces stuck work items, work items that are blocked by their dependencies, and flagged work items. This makes it easier to address high-priority work within your current sprint or on your board.
Select the Insights button to view the Work items for attention insight
The All tab is the default view and offers a list with all work items for attention. This list may include stuck, blocked or flagged work items. Work items in this list may also be a combination of stuck, flagged or blocked.
Work items that take too long to progress will be marked as “stuck”. We consider a work item as “stuck” when it spends a longer time in a particular status than is expected compared to your other work items. Select the Stuck tab to view a list of these work items.
Blocked work items are under the Blocked tab. This list contains all work items that are blocked by other dependencies.
For flagged work items, check the Flagged tab.
Work items are ordered by set priority or due date, which makes it easier to know what to pay attention to next. The description underneath the tabs changes with what work items are showing up, and this offers information at a glance of the work items for attention you’ll find in the list. Select the work item to expand its view and see more detail.
You might have Prev and Next buttons at the bottom of the insight. This means that there were too many work items to display in one list. Select Next to view the remaining work items under the tab, or select Prev to go back a step.
A work item can be flagged via the More menu found in the top right corner of the work item. Blocked work items are linked to their dependencies using the Blocked by link, found in the quick-add button. Stuck work items are automatically labelled as stuck when the work item exceeds the 85th percentile for their current status.
Time in status
Use the time in status insight to gain a clear understanding of how long work items stay in each status, to help you identify bottlenecks in your workflow.
The time in status insight allows you to pinpoint stages in your process where your team is spending the most time. It also shows the average time a work item spends in each status.
The visualization can display up to 5 statuses where your work takes the longest to progress. Hover over the bar associated with each status to see the average time in months, weeks, or days.
Epic progress
Keep an eye on your priorities and stay on track to achieve your goals by seeing how your sprints contribute to your epics.
Please note that epics can be renamed. The information in this article is relevant, regardless of what epics are called in your instance.
Epics will often represent a big goal, project, or outcome. Instead of tackling everything all at once, Scrum teams often break down big goals into smaller pieces of work that then get added to a time-boxed sprint.
The epic progress insight helps you connect the work you’re doing in your sprint to that larger goal, outcome, or epic. This could mean your sprint only contains work items working towards one epic, such as your launch plan. Or, maybe your team choose to divide and conquer and add work to a sprint that helps to progress multiple epics
The insight also indicates when the work items in your sprint aren’t working towards any epics. This might be because your work items haven’t been assigned to an epic. If the work has been assigned to an epic, and it’s still not showing up in the insight, check your estimation statistic. Right now, insights support story points, time estimation, and work item count.
