TRACKING SPRINT GOALS

scott.norris

For several years I have used the jira plugin for sprint goals. Allowing to easily track sprint goals with easily assigned tickets, which was a great tool and transparent.

Since December '25 this plugin has since been removed from within Jira. I have not yet found a replacement other than a manual process of typing text in where you set date and start the sprint from the backlog. The teams can no longer see the progress of a sprint goal other than manually tagging tickets assigned to that goal and manually calculating the progress %.

I was wondering if there is another plug in which Teams are using or another website/app to track?

Hi @scott_norris,

Welcome to the Atlassian Community.

I am not familiar with that Jira plugin, but could you please provide a bit more detail about how the sprint goal progress was represented — or how you would like it to be represented?

Would you like to display the progress of sprint tasks for each assignee, based on:

the number of completed tasks, or
story points completed versus total story points?

Or do you have another type of progress visualization in mind?

Our Great Gadgets app offers many options for tracking the sprint goal. Here is an example based on the Pivot Table & Pivot Chart gadget that shows the sprint tasks % completion for each assignee as table, heatmap table or charts of various types:

Is this what you are looking for?

Hi @scott_norris

Welcome to the community !!

If you are looking to get an overview of your sprint progress and are willing to try out a mktplace app, take a look at

Agile Velocity & Sprint Status Gadgets

The Sprint Status gadget gives a complete summary of your sprint progress with multiple widgets.

The app comes with few other dashboard gadgets to track team member's / team's velocity / productivity based on story points / time spent / issue count in a sprint and also track sprint status with multiple parameters.

Thanks for the recommendation. I'll take a look.

For several years, Atlassian provided a plug in within jira which allowed the team to set up SPRINT GOALS and attach sprint tickets from the backlog to easily track the progress. This was under Sprint goals

Sadly Atlassian retired this in December of last year. Weirdly, Sprint goals heading still exists but when you click on it just throws an error, so not sure why they did not even remove it.

It was super helpful on Dashboards as well, one of the best tools.

Hi @scott_norris,

I see that you already use Great Gadgets - the Team Velocity Gadget from your screenshot is offered by our app. This is great

As far as I can see, the Sprint Goals gadget was showing a burndown chart and some progress numbers on top of the chart.

This is something that you can easily display with the Release Burndown Burnup Chart gadget (you already have it!) - all you have to do is to configure it with a filter that returns the issues that belong to that the sprint goal. You could use the Labels field to set the goal on the stories / tasks from the sprint.

Another possibility is to use the Sprint Burndown Burnup Chart gadget (you already have it!) to track the entire sprint burdown - it is much more powerful than Jira's default one, and then use the Great Gadgets Controller to apply extra filtering for each sprint goal.

I’d be happy to guide you through these workarounds, so please feel free to contact us at support@stonikbyte.com for assistance.

Danut.

Hi @scott_norris

Just wanted to chime in - eazyBI is a great option for this! (Disclosure: I work at eazyBI)

eazyBI imports Sprint Goals from Jira, so your teams can see them alongside their sprint progress. You can also:

Build Sprint Burndown and Burnup charts with story points, issue counts, or time tracking
Track committed vs. completed story points with velocity charts
Filter by sprint, project, team, or labels to focus on specific goals
Add a guideline showing the ideal burndown pace

Here's an example of a sample Burn-down report you can build with eazyBI.

My colleague wrote a detailed walkthrough of the Story Point Burn-Down in Sprint report in this community post: #2 Report of the week: Story Point Burn-Down in Sprint

Screenshot 2026-05-12 at 09.24.45.png

eazyBI is available on the Atlassian Marketplace and comes with sample sprint reports included, so you can get started quickly.

I hope this helps!

Best,

Hi @scott_norris ,

I can suggest trying the Sprint Report feature in the Time in Status app by SaaSJet (developed by my team). It helps you track your team’s progress based on the estimation method used on your board, such as Story Points, Work Item Count, or Original Time.

In addition to team velocity, you can see completion rate, completed vs. incomplete work, committed vs. completed work, scope changes, workload, and status time.

You can also analyze both closed and active sprints.

For active sprints, the report shows a Burndown chart instead of a Team Velocity chart, so you can follow sprint progress while the sprint is still running.

The metrics are updated throughout the sprint.

If you have any additional questions, I will be happy to help you.

Thanks, makes sense

scott.norris

Many thanks, I will take a look at the report you shared

scott.norris

Thanks for reaching out. I will look at the time in status features for sure.

Hi @scott_norris ,

As a replacement, you can try the app I developed - Multi-team Scrum Metrics & Retrospectives.

With it, you will get not only Sprint Goals and tasks assigned to a sprint, but also:

Completed Scope out of Final Scope (=manually calculating the progress %)
Data across sprints, months, quarters, half-years or years.
Several teams (including those ones sharing the same project) at once.
Velocity, capacity, allocation, completed story points (completed scope), planned (initial, final scopes), added and removed scopes, as well as other metrics. You can even create your own custom metrics using JQL.
Trends and average metrics across periods.
Quantifiable retrospectives.
And many more.

3 boards/teams in the same view, 1 period selected for analysis:

3 boards/teams in the same view, all periods are clicked for average metrics and dynamics:

Thanks for replying. I will have a look as an alternative.
