How to measure velocity in the kanban projects?

Question

Hello,

In Jira, you can only measure velocity and see burndown chart for the Scrum-based projects. From the methodology standpoint, it makes sense as the scrum based framework is the completion of work within a certain timeframe.

On the other hand, the Kanban-based approach is about the priority-based flow of tasks.

I was wondering if there is an existing app that can measure velocity for a Kanban team within a certain time frame. Or,

What are the other ways to measure velocity and create a burndown chart for a kanban project?

Hi @Sheena Malayath,

It is free only if you have Jira free license (up-to 10 users). Otherwise, you can start with a 1-month of free trial.

Hi @[deleted],

You can measure the velocity and have a burndown chart for your Kanban project by using  our Great Gadgets add-on (available for both Jira Server and Jira Cloud).

It offers a "Kanban Velocity" and "Release Burndown Burnup" dashboard gadgets that are based on a filter. All you have to do is to create a filter that includes the issues from your project(s).

More details about how to configure it can be found in the add-ons documentation:
