Best Jira Dashboard Gadget to Show Sprint Progress (Committed vs Completed) Instead of Created vs Re

Title: Best Jira Dashboard Gadget to Show Sprint Progress (Committed vs Completed) Instead of Created vs Resolved?

Question:

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to build a Jira dashboard for leadership and would appreciate some guidance.

We have two types of work:

Operational work – tickets are created and resolved during the sprint, so the Created vs Resolved gadget works well.

Project work – most stories/tasks are created before the sprint starts and some carry over from previous sprint and are added to the sprint during planning. During the sprint, they simply move through statuses until they are completed.

For project work, the Created vs Resolved gadget is misleading because it only counts issues created during the sprint. It doesn't reflect the total work committed to the sprint or how much has been completed.

For example:

Sprint starts with 50 issues.

Only 2 new issues are created during the sprint.

20 issues are completed.

The Created vs Resolved chart shows 2 created vs 20 resolved, but what leadership really wants to understand is:

How much work was committed at the beginning of the sprint.

How much has been completed over time.

How much work remains.

(Optionally) if additional scope was added during the sprint.

Constraints:

We need this as a Jira Dashboard gadget (to embed in a Confluence page).

We cannot use the Sprint Burndown/Burnup reports because they are board reports and aren't available as dashboard gadgets in our environment.

We'd prefer a trend/graph rather than tables or filter results.

Question: What is the best Jira dashboard gadget (or Marketplace app) to visualize sprint progress for committed work under these constraints? Has anyone implemented something similar?

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Naveena Tati,

As already suggested by other people here, it might be worth taking a look at our app Great Gadgets for Jira Cloud. It offers a wide range of gadgets for tracking sprint progress and analyzing team performance.

For your specific use case, the Sprint Burndown Burnup Chart gadget is a great fit. It visualizes sprint progress and also includes an optional Data tab that provides a sprint report similar to Jira's native Sprint Report. It is higly configurable, can calculate by issue count, story points, time estimates, can include sub-tasks, can be configured as burnup.

You might also find the Team Velocity gadget very useful. It displays key sprint metrics such as committed work, completed work, added work, scope change, and more across previous sprints, helping you identify trends and patterns over time. This one is also highly configurable, you can choose from many sprint metrics.

And you can embed a gadget from a Jira dashboard into a Confluence page, or you can use the equivalent app Great Gadgets for Confluence.

Hi @Naveena Tati,

What you seem to be referring to, is the velocity chart that you get as a report with your team's scrum board(s). For some strange reason, this has not been available as a dashboard gadget, so many marketplace apps offer alternative solutions for this. I tried to filter for a starting list on the marketplace, but there's a lot of options available: Velocity Dashboard Gadgets for Jira Cloud (not all equally relevant).

Since you're talking about building a leadership dashboard, you might want some flexibility in adding custom / more controlled reports. For that reason, it might be worth looking into great gadgets for jira cloud agile charts reports kpis or EazyBI. Both will give you plenty of reporting possibilities and may be a good reference point for comparison with other options.

Hope this helps!

HI @Naveena Tati

You could look at Great Gadgets or not an app much used, but it's more configurable, but has less other functions/gadgets, called; Agile Velocity & Sprint Status Gadgets for Jira

Hi @Naveena Tati

Disclosure: I'm the developer of this app.

This is exactly the gap our Plugio Suite – Dashboard Builder for Jira tries to close.

It has a sprint mode: you bind a Jira board, and every widget scopes to the active sprint automatically (rolls over each sprint, or you can pin one).

So instead of "created vs resolved during the sprint", you get committed vs completed for the sprint itself — progress bars, a battery-style sprint health widget, counters for remaining work, and charts bucketed by day/week.

Dashboards render as a regular Jira dashboard gadget, so they embed in Confluence like any other gadget.

One honest caveat: it doesn't draw a classic cumulative burnup line yet — you get the committed/completed/remaining state and completion-over-time charts, not the two-line burnup curve.

Habib, Plugio

Hey @Naveena Tati ,

I work at eazyBI support. Sounds like the "Story points commitment completion" chart from our Demo account could fulfill your requirement -https://eazybi.com/accounts/1000/cubes/Issues/reports/1071331-story-points-commitment-completion.

With eazyBI, you can publish multiple reports in one eazyBI dashboard that you can publish in Jira dashboards. See an example of an eazyBI dashboard here - https://eazybi.com/accounts/1000/dashboards/5956-sprint-health.

The only obstacle is that to publish the eazyBI for Jira report in Confluence pages, you would also need the eazyBI for Confluence app.

Best,
Roberts // support@eazybi.com

Hi @Naveena Tati ,

Multi-team Scrum Metrics & Retrospectives covers all your requests.

Sprint starts with 50 issues/How much work was committed at the beginning of the sprint = Initial Scope
Only 2 new issues are created during the sprint/if additional scope was added during the sprint = Added Scope
20 issues are completed/How much has been completed over time = Completed Scope (plus you can select to cover all tasks that were completed during the sprint time but have never been added to the sprint, the app covers many other corner cases as well)
How much work remains = Uncompleted Scope
We need this as a Jira Dashboard gadget (to embed in a Confluence page) - as you already probably know, you can use macros for that.

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