Feature overview
Agile Reports and Gadgets help Agile and SAFe teams track delivery performance, forecast outcomes, and visualize progress directly in Jira. The bundle includes three reporting tools - Velocity, Burnup/Burndown, and Cycle Time charts - available both as standalone reports and as dashboard gadgets.
Together, they provide a complete view of how much work your teams deliver, how fast, and when you’re likely to finish.
- 1 Customize the chart scope
- 2 Track velocity metrics for teams and individuals
- 3 Compare velocity across multiple teams in a single view
- 4 Track progress over time with burnup and burndown views
- 5 Model different delivery scenarios
- 6 Use alternative historical data for forecasts
- 7 Analyze delivery speed with Cycle time
- 8 Reveal workflow bottlenecks with Time in status
- 9 Benchmark against averages and targets
- 10 Customize calculations
- 11 Filter data
- 12 Drill into data

Key features
Customize the chart scope
Include work from multiple Scrum and Kanban boards, projects, releases, initiatives, or custom JQL queries. You can also define the time period shown in the chart - select a number of past sprints, set a custom date range, and include or exclude closed, active, and future sprints.
Track velocity metrics for teams and individuals
Track the key metrics that drive sprint planning and delivery: initial commitment, final commitment, rollover, added or removed scope, estimation changes, completed work, and unfinished items. Monitor results across one or multiple teams, or switch to the individual view to analyze personal contributions.
Learn more about the Cross-team velocity chart and the Individual velocity chart
Compare velocity across multiple teams in a single view
Compare how multiple teams deliver work over time on a single chart, with each bar representing a different team. Switch between metrics to shift the focus, or use the checkboxes below the chart to show or hide teams.
Learn more about the Benchmarking velocity chart
Track progress over time with burnup and burndown views
See Completed work, Remaining work, and Total work over time. Switch between burnup and burndown charts to highlight either progress made or work left. Add the Ideal burndown line in daily/sprint burndowns to compare the actual pace with the planned one.
Learn more about the Burnup chart, the Burndown chart, and the Sprint/Daily burndown chart
Model different delivery scenarios
Answer forward-looking questions with forecast scenarios:
When will the work be done if we continue at the current pace? → Min / Average / Max forecasts
What if we deliver faster or slower? → Target velocity, Target date, Velocity percentile
What’s the probability of finishing by a certain date? → Monte Carlo simulations
You can also refine assumptions by adjusting sprint length, applying a capacity allocation coefficient, or modeling scope growth.
Use alternative historical data for forecasts
Base your forecasts on the history that makes the most sense. If your current source doesn’t have enough data, or if its delivery history is irregular, you can bring in throughput from another board, project, release, or initiative.
Analyze delivery speed with Cycle time
Measure how long it takes to complete work items using Cycle time or Lead time metrics, and visualize how delivery performance evolves.
Use the Cycle time histogram to see how durations are distributed (which items are delivered within typical timeframes and which are delayed). The Cycle time trend chart will help you to track how averages, medians, or percentiles change across sprints, weeks, or months.

Reveal workflow bottlenecks with Time in status
See where issues spend the most time with the Time in status metric. Break work down by In Progress and Waiting statuses to uncover queues, blockers, or inefficient handoffs between stages.
Benchmark against averages and targets
Use averages, medians, or percentiles from past sprints or time periods as benchmarks to understand what “normal” delivery looks like for your teams. To visualize whether actual performance aligns with expectations, add target lines.
Learn more about benchmarks and targets in Velocity, Burnup burndown, and Cycle time charts
Customize calculations
Adapt how metrics are calculated to match your workflow. Select estimation fields, define custom Done statuses or from-to columns, choose between calendar and working time, or apply a default estimate for unestimated issues.
Learn more about calculation settings in Velocity, Burnup burndown, and Cycle time charts
Filter data
Narrow down the view with advanced filters. Focus on a specific sprint, epic, release, issue type, or user, or apply a custom JQL query to analyze the exact slice of work that matters most.
Learn more about the issue filter in Velocity, Burnup burndown, and Cycle time charts
Drill into data
Click a sprint or interval on the chart to open its detailed breakdown. Inspect completed or remaining work and scope change, and group issues by any Jira field for clarity. Each item is linked back to Jira, so you can click through to investigate details.
