      Hi everyone,

      I’m pleased to tell you that the updated Velocity Report page, coming soon in Jira 8.9, will include this highly-requested suggestion.

      In the new Velocity Report page you will be able to choose any date range that you’re interested in. The report will calculate the average velocity of all sprints completed within the chosen period of time and display it both over the table and in the chart itself. There will be also a slider under the chart - you can use it to quickly adjust the selection and see how these changes affect the calculated average.

      Let us know how you like it!

      Kind regards,
      Sylwia Mikolajczuk

      As per the thread here, users would like to have the ability to see what their average velocity is, per day or week, to improve how many story points they should commit to in the next sprint duration.

            Seriously? This is a super basic feature. This is a clear case of work that has HIGH VALUE for LOW EFFORT.

            It surprises me that this feature doesn't exist. The sprints' velocity data is there, why do we have to manually input these in the spreadsheet to get the average? Not to mention the velocity chart only displays the last 7 sprints..

            +1 We need to be able to plan future work and know team velocity by sprint or release or timeframe based on all previous sprints. That should not have to be manually calculated by going to burndown charts and putting this data in a spreadsheet. I want average velocity over multiple past sprints

            I think you should add an average line across the velocity report, and also added an average at the bottom of the table displayed underneath the chart.

            It's weird that the "work completed" in the "Release Burndown" doesn't match the information per sprint in the "Velocity Chart" (I'm talking about a Scrum board, of course).

            We're not probably using the release/version in the proper way to achieve the correct results, but it's good to know for the future or different projects.

            In a nutshell, I still need this feature of average velocity

            It is documented at https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirasoftwarecloud/release-burndown-777002702.html

            The report displays the velocity per sprint and the remaining work.

            Hi Oscar, how can you use the Release Burndown report to get average velocity from last sprints?

            I can see velocity per release, but I can't see any option for the average.

            Thanks!

            As a workaround, you can use the Release Burndown report which contains the velocity per sprint.

            It would be really useful to have this information, but surprisingly it's not available.

            I'm thinking about building an app to automate this, as I have different teams needing this info, but I'd be great if Atlassian can do the magic for us.

            Just started looking into JIRA Agile reports and I was really surprised I couldn't find the average velocity of my team.
