Kanban Velocity/Throughput Gadget displaying different results than Kanban board filter

[C-Dale_Thompson1]

I am referencing a Kanban board with a filter designating only 1 project. When I configure that board as the source for the Kanban Velocity/Throughput Gadget on my project dashboard, I get that specified project AND some of the related projects. I am using the Board so that I can use the Backlog feature of the gadget.

When I use the JQL query from the Kanban board filter directly I get only the 1 project, but the JQL does not work with the Backlog feature. Any ideas on why this is happening and how to fix it?

Hi @C-Dale_Thompson1 

Welcome to the Atlassian community. Velocity is calculated based on sprint data such as start and end, what you planned into it and what you managed to complete during the sprint.  Only the "what we did" data is captured in Kanban, so you can't generate a velocity.

Average points solved per week, as you say, is possible, but there's no real reporting on it.

the velocity calculation is based on "we did x amount of work over period Y".  Kanban does not actively record "period Y".So you need something to define the period when you are generating a velocity report.

Hi, Community managers! -- Pleases move this post from the "App Central" area to the Jira product questions area and then close it.  Thanks!
