How is Velocity calculated in Jira?

[AROSU]

Some teams calculate Velocity using 3 Sprints work of data, or 2 months, or I have even seen 7 Sprints (dropping the highest and lowest values). How does Jira calculate a Velocity?

Not sure if you are in cloud or server, but I believe either way, Jira does not calculate the velocity. The Velocity Chart simply shows the committed vs completed story points for the past 7 sprints and you are expected to make your own calculations.

There are improvement requests for this:
