How to Calculate Sprint Velocity in Jira

‍

Jira Software provides a built-in Velocity Chart that automatically calculates your sprint velocity. This chart shows the amount of work completed across several sprints. Here’s how to do it:

1. Open the Jira project associated with the sprints you want to analyze.
2. In the left-hand sidebar, click on 'Reports'.
3. From the list of available reports, select 'Velocity Chart'.
4. The Velocity Chart will display several sprints, showing two bars for each sprint, the completed and committed.
5. Select a sprint that you want to calculate using the Velocity chart.
6. The chart gives a visual overview of the velocity across multiple sprints.
