      Atlassian Update – 21 April 2020

      Hi everyone,

      We're sorry for the delay - and at the same time we hope the wait will turn out to be worth it.

      After considering carefully both your suggestions as well as any usability and performance concerns, we've decided to not only allow you to see more sprints, but completely reimagine the experience of working with velocity report.

      The updated chart will let you display up to 120 sprints in any chosen date range and will additionally include the average velocity calculated for the selected time period, extended data table and major visual upgrade.

      All that will be available to you soon in Jira 8.9.

      Thank you for your feedback and your patience!

       

      Kind regards,
      Sylwia Mikolajczuk

      Currently the Velocity Chart is hardcoded to show (max) last 7 sprints. Looking at the average amount of work completed in a sprint is the main value of the Velocity Chart, so the value of the Velocity Chart increases with every sprint, because the average is getting better.

      If you have Sprint of two weeks length, you are talking about only 3-4 months. If vacation or christmas time is in between, you average is getting poor.

      Therefore the limitation to show only last 7 sprints is bad and should be removed.

            We are using parallel sprints and report of 7 iterations is really uncomfortable. Is it planned to increase the current limit?

            I am using Jira cloud velocity chart, and I am still restricted to last 7 sprints. How/where is this feature changed please.

            Could you help me to see all sprint in my Jira now, I still see only 7 sprints even my project has more than sprints.

            I see this fix came out a long time ago. Do you need to reach a certain number of sprints to be available? Currently, I am unable to modify the velocity chart to filter for a specific time range. 

             

            Thanks.

            Is this available in Jira Cloud yet? I'm not seeing any option to show more than 7 sprints.

            Agreed with Jeff and Rowann above.
            It is disappointing indeed that none of the features are ever fixed on cloud first.

            ALthough this is fixed in server, why are we still gathering interest for clous separately?

            Should this not be part of the process to fix things for both cloud and server even if not cloud first?

            90fd802dab6a, this issue is closed because it refers to Server only. JSWCLOUD-6034, which is the Cloud equivalent, is still open and gathering interest. It's also the one that the Cloud team would monitor for questions and feedback.

            Why is the issue Closed? It still is not available in Cloud. Is there an ETA? It is really disappointing how JIRA Cloud is so behind. Isn't the benefit of it being Cloud based is that we're on the latest version? How is Atlassian not keeping the Cloud version up-to-date?

            Hi 3306b41b2cc3, JSWCLOUD-6034 is the source of truth about the Cloud plans for this issue, and the best place to raise interest in it.

            Wooo!!! Awesome news! Gets me away from manual Google Sheet scripting/reporting!

            If possible and if it's not too much to ask, could we also include the ability to remove sprints from this report if we wish to exclude it for any reason - if this is not included as part of this enhancement of course?

            For a specific example, today, if anyone accidentally sets a sprint on a card for sprint unrelated to one of the teams I work with in our Jira Instance, that sprint will be made visible in the velocity report and could obfuscate the velocity calculations made available as part of this new feature. Adding the ability to simply remove the sprint (with acknowledgment / confirmation if may not be available in the report at a later date or providing the ability to also add a sprint to the report at a later date to mitigate sprints being removed in error) would address this concern.

            I know this will more than likely be resolved with the separate feature (if the enhancement is made available at a later date) being reviewed on https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSWSERVER-10805, but this will still be a problem until the referenced enhancement is also made available.

            Apparently not. We have release cycles that go more than 7 sprints, and are having trouble identifying at Release End all Jira's that were added after sprint start--a super handy statistic that I haven't found a way to get out Jira other than through the Velocity Chart. Ridiculous that @Atlassian has had this open for so long...

            It'd be helpful to have a date range or a sprint(s) picker. Allow users the option to see what they wanna see in the [Velocity chart]& not limit to the last seven sprints or the entire history of sprints for that matter.

            Thanks a lot @Thomas Robbs for your suggestion. 

            Prashant Sahu added a comment - Thanks a lot @Thomas Robbs for your suggestion. 

            Prashant, I think your situation is the same as Inka's, i.e. it sounds like you should separate your 4 Scrum Teams by Boards on the project.  This would give you, in the short term, 7 Sprints per Team as they would each have their own Velocity Chart (because a board will separate those reports as well).

            However, just to add to this ticket, I too think it's a good idea to make the number of Sprints that are visible on a Velocity Chart to be configurable.  To some Teams, "all Sprints" would be interesting, to others, only the last few matter (as it's more of an indicator of the team's current trajectory, IMO).

            The Version Report and Release Burndown should be clarified to indicate how many Sprints they are using for their projections though.  IMO, that would round out the feature that this ticket would be a part of.

            We are having 4 scrum teams and velocity chart showing 7 sprints which is not even 2 sprints each for the team. It is practically of no use. Can this be configurable  to specify number of sprints to be included in velocity chart?

            @inka.benthin 

            It sounds like what you may actually need to do first is to separate your 3 teams on to 3 separate boards on the same project.  That will allow you to see 3 separate velocity charts, one per team.

            You also may need to start researching Jira Portfolio and Jira Align in planning how to scale your use of Jira to meet your organizational needs.

            Hope that helps.

            For scaled scrum this is neccessary.

            Currently we have three teams, so we see only last two sprints.

            That makes the report almost useless.

            Every time I look for something simple with Jira, I find an issue that dates back 7+ years. It's almost like the entire business plan has rolled to broken out of the box, and force users to buy another addon from the marketplace to fix it.
