Collecting Sprint Report Data via JIRA API for a Performance Dashboard

Gregory_8xb0cr

Hello JIRA community,

We are currently working on a centralized team performance dashboard, which we use to visualise the performance and status of about 10 project.

In this context, we are looking to extract key sprint data which are by default available in the Sprint Report using the JIRA API.

The data are: Committed issues, Completed issues, Scope change (cf. attached picture).

Unfortunately, after weeks of exploring various documentations and websites, and many attempt we haven't succeeded in gathering those data.

Therefore the community is our last resort.

Thank you by advance for your time and insights.

Gregory

Hi @Gregory,

As far as I know, on Cloud, the sprint reports data are not available via REST API; this works only on Server & Data Center, but not on Cloud.

But why not using the Sprint Health Gadget of Jira? I think it exposes all the info you need.

Hello @Gregory

It's not really clear what your actual question is. Are you asking for some to describe:

How to use the REST API to get specific data
Which specific API endpoints will provide the specific data you are looking for
How that data is manipulated, cross-references and stored as statistical data over a time scale
How that statistical data is rendered in the GUI as custom dashboard gadgets or reports.

That screen grab you've provided isn't a Jira native report, it's a totally custom report that been generated by the commercial Time in Status app by SaaSJet

Essentially, if you're asking "How can we make something like that ourselves" you're really asking a seriously non-trivial question that has dozens of possible solution methods using many different tools and techniques... all dependant on the skill levels of your developers.

Hi @Gregory 👋

Your project for a centralized performance dashboard sounds fantastic! Extracting detailed sprint data is indeed essential for tracking team productivity across multiple projects. While working with the Jira API can sometimes be challenging, I wanted to share an alternative solution that might save you time and effort.

You have attached a screenshot of the Sprint Report to your question, which is accessible only through Time in Status add-on.

Also add-on offers more built-in and custom reports for Scrum Teams which you can get by grid, charts or dashboards.

You can also book a live demo - we'll show you the application inside out and answer all your questions.

Have a nice day, and happy sprinting 🥳

Hello Danut,

Thanks for the feedback.

We though about using widget available in JIRA dashboard. Though in my post I didn't mentioned that the our performance dashboard is built on a BI solution to allow us to centralize data from various sources (finance, support, user satisfaction, etc...).

The idea was also to centralize key sprint data from JIRA in our database to feed this dashboard.

Though indeed it seems those data are not available through REST API.

I'm going to check if we could create a dashboard using JIRA dashboard and embed it into our performance dashboard. Might not be optimal, but at least data would be there

Thanks again for your feedback.

Hello David,

Thank you for your feedback.

I apologize if the initial post inputs weren’t clear.

Actually we are currently using JIRA REST API to get specific data from issues as well as the sprints velocities.

Our need is to retrieve additional sprint data as per displayed on the Time in Status app using the REST API.

From all the feedback I understand that this would require other techniques that simple API calls.

Thanks again.

Gregory
