Hi @Lucy Olson -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Reviewing the information for the Sprint Report and the Velocity Report...

You will find what Atlassian calls "commitment" is the total of the estimate measure (e.g., Story Points) for the issues in the sprint at the time the sprint started.

Any changes to issues in the sprint, or changes to the story points for those issues, are not in the total.  Instead they are considered scope change / changes to forecasts.

Kind regards,
Bill

Hi @Lucy Olson 

Welcome to the community! 

1. Commitment: The gray bar for each sprint shows the total estimate of all issues in the sprint when it begins. After the sprint has started, any stories added to the sprint, or any changes made to estimates, will not be included in this total. 

In your shared data you have mentioned 44 points are "not completed" and 24 as removed, but were any of the issues from these 2 sets added after sprint start? Because if they were added after sprint start and later removed or left incomplete then they won't count towards the "committed" total of 139.

Also, with my SaaSJet team, we built a new Sprint Performance Report where we have all the metrics for each sprint. One of them is committed.
