velocity chart should only display relevant sprints . do not want data of other irrelevant sprints to be displayed.
Hello @sonali
The Velocity Report will display sprints based on the board from which you access the report. The report is not customizable.
How would you expect Jira to determine which sprints are relevant and which are not?
Hi @sonali
Welcome to the community !!
If you are looking to get a cusotm sprint progress report and are willing to try out a mktplace app, take a look at
Agile Velocity & Sprint Status Gadgets
The app comes with 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.
You can easily customize the sprints which you want to see right on your dashboards.

Hi @sonali,
The Jira Velocity Report shows only the most recent sprints from the Agile board and does not offer built-in options to filter or select specific sprints.
If you need to generate a velocity report for a particular sprint, you'll need to use a plugin from the Atlassian Marketplace that provides sprint filtering and advanced reporting features.
If you're open to using a plugin, our Great Gadgets app includes a Team Velocity gadget that allows you to filter the displayed sprints based on various criteria.
The gadget includes all the metrics available in Jira's native Velocity Report and provides many additional insights, such as scope changes and % completion. It also features a Data tab that offers a detailed breakdown for each sprint, allowing you to analyze sprint performance in greater depth.
Hope this helps.

Hi @sonali ,
For solving this, you need to adjust your board JQL.
Otherwise, if you would like to keep the board JQL the same, you can use the app I developed - Multi-team Scrum Metrics & Retrospectives. Use the Custom JQL filters to apply additional filters on top of any metric (to filter out the unwanted items).
And you will get any Velocity Report you want:

The existing answers cover the Jira-native options well. I wanted to add an alternative angle in case it's useful. PS! I'm part of the Stiltsoft team.
If part of the challenge is that your velocity chart needs to be visible to stakeholders or team members who don't live in Jira day-to-day, building it in Confluence might actually solve more than one problem at once.
With Table Filter, Charts & Spreadsheets for Confluence, you can build a velocity chart from a data table fed by the Jira Issues macro. Because you control the source table yourself, you decide exactly which sprints appear, with no limitations from Jira's native report. You can include only the sprints relevant to your team, filter out noise from other boards or projects, and have the chart update automatically as new sprint data comes in.
The other advantage is that it lives on a Confluence page, so anyone in your company can view it without needing a Jira license, which tends to matter a lot for leadership or cross-functional stakeholders who need visibility into team velocity without being active Jira users.
If the Jira-side fix works for you - great, but if you find yourself also needing a stakeholder-friendly view, this approach gives you both the flexibility and the reach.
Feel free to let me know if you have any questions
Jira’s native Velocity Chart does not let you manually select or hide individual sprints. It displays the most recent completed sprints.
The chart is board-specific and only includes work items matching the board’s saved filter. Therefore, the closest native solution is to tighten the board filter or create a separate Scrum board for the relevant team. See Atlassian’s Velocity Chart documentation.
This improves the work-item scope but still does not provide an option to exclude one particular completed sprint.
If third-party apps are possible, I’m part of the team that creates Time in Status.
Its Sprint Performance Report lets you select a board and sprint, then review committed versus completed work, completion rate, scope changes, and velocity. The report follows the board’s JQL filter.
For a hand-picked sprint comparison, Pivot Mode can group and filter data by Sprint. However, this would be a custom comparison rather than Jira’s standard committed-versus-completed velocity calculation.
Hi Sonali,
On Jira Cloud, the Velocity Chart is board-based: it uses the board’s saved filter and shows recent completed sprints. There is no native control to pick or hide individual sprints, and Cloud does not have the Data Center “Hide unrelated sprints” option.
Closest native approaches:
Tighten the board filter (JQL) so only the team’s issues (and thus their sprints) appear.
Use a separate Scrum board with a filter scoped to that team.
That improves issue scope, but still won’t let you exclude one specific completed sprint from the chart. See Atlassian’s Cloud docs: View and understand the velocity chart.
Disclosure: I work on SnapMetrics – Real Time Analytics. If you want a cleaner board-scoped sprint view beyond the native chart, our Sprint Report lets you select the board and sprint; velocity shows committed vs completed for the last few closed sprints on that board (prior to the selected sprint), plus carryover, scope change, burndown, and related metrics. Available from the project, the SnapMetrics reports page, or the Sprint Report dashboard gadget.
