Can I track story points per user instead of per sprint?

[John Moore]

Need to track users capacity across one or more sprints. Is it possible through a widget, dashboard, report, etc. to track how many story points each user is assigned?

Hi @John Moore

welcome to the community!

Just to add to Walter's answer:

If you're open to solutions from the Atlassian Marketplace, you may want to have a look at the app that my team and I are working on: JXL for Jira.

JXL is a full-fledged spreadsheet/table view for your issues that allows viewing, inline-editing, sorting, and filtering by all your issue fields, much like you’d do in e.g. Excel or Google Sheets. It also comes with a long list of advanced features, including support for issue grouping by any issue field(s) and sum-ups.

With these, you can build a view like e.g. this in just a couple of clicks:

This is really just one of a virtually endless number of possible views and reports; you can also view and group by any other issue fields, configure different sum-up styles, etc. etc. I should also add that JXL can do much more than the above: From support for configurable issue hierarchies, to conditional formatting, or inline bulk editing via copy/paste.

Any questions just let me know,

Best,

Hannes

Hi @John Moore and welcome to the Community!

I would assume you want to know this in particular for the sprint you are about to plan. If so, when you are looking at the backlog view of your board, have your issues assigned to the users who will be working in the next sprint and click on their avatar at the top of the screen.

This will filter the issues in the backlog (and the upcoming sprint) and the number of story points of the visible issues will reflect the filter you apply. If you do this for every user, you'll know how many story points are allocated to each user.

It's not a full report of your entire team, but it does help to determine if you can add more work for a specific user, right from the view where you would normally do your sprint planning.

Hope this helps!

Hi @John Moore 

Welcome to the community !!

If you would be interested in a mktplace app for this requirement, pls do take a look at 
Sprint Velocity & Status Gadgets 

The app comes with few 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. The app works for past / closed sprints too.

Hi @John Moore ,

Great question! Tracking how many story points each user is assigned across one or more sprints is a common need for managing capacity effectively.Fortunately, it’s definitely possible to achieve this with the right tools. To view story points by issue for a specific user, filter the backlog tasks by that user’s name.

If you're exploring marketplace solutions, I’d like to recommend a tool our team developed, called Report Hub, which includes a Workload per Sprint Report. This report is designed specifically to help Agile teams track and manage user workload efficiently.

With the Workload per Sprint Report, you can:

• Track assigned workload: View how many story points each user is assigned across various sprints
• See how many story points each user is assigned relative to their capacity to ensure balanced workloads across the team
• Identify imbalances: Spot overloaded or underutilized team members to adjust tasks according to their capacity.

This report makes it easy to monitor and adjust workloads, ensuring a more balanced and productive sprint.

I hope this helps! If you’d like more details about how the report works or additional strategies for managing team capacity, feel free to ask — I’d be happy to assist!

Hi @John Moore ,

If you don't mind looking at other apps, you can try Sprint Report from Time in Status app, which my team developed. 

The report gives Scrum teams a detailed overview of sprint activities and data. It’s an invaluable tool for tracking progress and performance from completed sprints, empowering teams to make well-informed decisions.

It contains the following main charts: Team Velocity, Workload, Completion rate, Committed, Completed, and Scope change.

I hope you find it useful.

Another option to sum up story points would be our app. We offer several gadgets that enable to aggregate any Jira number field: 

• Quick Issue Statistics
• Quick Two Dimensional Filter Statistics
• Quick Pie Chart / Quick Workload Pie Chart
• Quick Bar Chart
• Quick Created vs. Resolved Chart

You can check out Quick Filters for Jira Dashboards without installation on our demo dashboards.

Hi @John Moore,

This is not possible by using Jira default gadgets or reports.

You could search on Atlassian Marketplace for a plugin that offers a gadget or report that is capable to do this type of calculations. 

If you want to try a plugin, our Great Gadgets offers a Pivot Table & Pivot Chart gadget that can easily calculate this and display it in form o table, heat-map table or charts of various types.
