Committed vs completed with an average-velocity line — on every Scrum board, with your own Definition of Done. The velocity chart the native report keeps locked away on the board.
Free for up to 10 users · Company- & team-managed boards · Read-only, runs on Atlassian
Committed vs completed for your last sprints, with the average-velocity line and say/do — on a dashboard, not buried on the board.
Native report vs Velocity Chart
| Native velocity report | Velocity Chart for Jira |
|---|---|
| ✕ Hidden in a single board's Reports — no native dashboard view | Dashboard gadget, right next to your other gadgets |
| ✕ One board per report | Compare up to 4 boards in one gadget PRO |
| ✕ “Done” = the board's fixed column mapping | Configurable Definition of Done PRO |
| ✕ Estimation = the board's saved setting | Story Points, issue count, or any numeric field PRO |
| ✕ Sub-tasks always excluded | Sub-task inclusion is an option PRO |
| ✕ No predictability number | Say/do ratio per sprint and on average PRO |
| ✕ No built-in export | CSV & SVG export PRO |
Jira's velocity report is genuinely useful — but it lives inside one board's Reports section, reads only that board's filter and column mapping, and leaves out sub-tasks. Velocity Chart keeps the same committed-vs-completed idea and puts it where you actually watch your sprint: the dashboard. See how velocity is calculated →
The native report counts only your board's last column. But plenty of teams have Released, QA Passed, or Accepted statuses that really mean done — and they get left out, quietly under-reporting every sprint.
Velocity Chart lets you pick the exact statuses that count as completed, so your velocity reflects how your team actually works.
Velocity, your way
Company-managed and team-managed Scrum boards, side by side in the same picker. Team-managed boards are tagged so you always know what you're charting.
A dashed average-velocity line across the sprints you're showing, plus the numeric average — the number you actually use to forecast how much the next sprint can hold.
The say/do ratio — completed ÷ committed — per sprint and on average, so you can see how reliably the team delivers what it takes on, not just how much.
Also included
Put up to four Scrum boards in one gadget. Each gets its own compact chart, average and say/do — all using the same Definition of Done and estimation, so you're comparing like for like in a single dashboard slot.
A note on comparing teams: velocity is relative to each team's own estimation, so use it to spot trends and stabilise a team's own pace — not to rank teams against each other.
Setup
Install from the Marketplace, open a Jira dashboard, choose Add gadget and search for Velocity Chart.
Select any Scrum board — company- or team-managed — with at least one completed sprint. Save.
Set your Definition of Done, estimation field and sprint count — or leave the defaults and you're done.
FAQ
The native report lives inside a single board's Reports section — there's no native way to put velocity on a dashboard. It's locked to one board, tied to that board's column mapping and estimation setting, and it excludes sub-tasks. Velocity Chart is a dashboard gadget that works on every Scrum board type, lets you define Done and the estimation field yourself, compares multiple boards, adds a say/do number and exports to CSV and SVG.
Yes — fully. Team-managed Scrum boards appear in the picker tagged “team-managed” and use the same committed-vs-completed calculation as company-managed boards.
No. Velocity Chart is strictly read-only and requests no write permissions. It reads sprint data to draw the chart and caches the computed numbers in Atlassian Forge Storage. Your data never leaves Atlassian — see the Security Policy.
Velocity Chart requires Jira Cloud. It's Forge-native and runs entirely on Atlassian's infrastructure — no Data Center or Server. You need a Scrum board with at least one completed sprint; Kanban boards have no sprints.
It's free for teams of up to 10 users, and larger teams get a free trial. The free experience always draws a real single-board velocity chart with the average line. Pro features — configurable Definition of Done, estimation modes, sub-task control, predictability, multi-board compare, more sprints and export — unlock while your site has an active subscription.
