Hi @Ramakrishnan Harihara Mahadevan 

Welcome to the community!

Right now, Jira Velocity chart is designed to show your last seven completed sprints

However, we have a feature request open make Velocity chart to use more or all the sprints from the board.

Velocity Chart should show all Sprints and not be limited to last 7 Sprints

I strongly recommend you to vote in this feature request and drop a comment to let the product management know about your use case. By doing this, it will ensure you're proactively informed of progress and updates going forward.

Hi @Ramakrishnan Harihara Mahadevan 

What problem are you trying to solve by doing that?  Knowing that may help the community to offer you suggestions to help.

For example, I hypothesize that Atlassian set a smaller limit for the number of sprints on the velocity chart because...

• the people and working methods for a team change over time,
• scrum teams continually try to improve, and so
• looking at information from far in the past may not provide value with future improvement activity.

In addition, and for the same ideas, if a team was using sprint velocity to help forecast future delivery, looking too far back may not help with forecasting.

Kind regards,
Bill

Hi Bill,

Thanks for the response.

I want to understand the Velocity improvements of the scrum team after taking action on strengthening the scrum team with resources, product, tools/technologies and process trainings,

Cheers,

Hari

Thanks for that information, Hari.  How well can you see those impacts/improvements with seven sprints of data?  I hope they are visible, unless your sprints are only a couple of days in duration. 

When you believe you truly need more than seven sprints of data, your options are to export the Jira issue data to build your own reporting, or to investigate the Atlassian Marketplace for other dashboard gadgets and reporting.  There are even free options which would support this, such as the JavaScript Chart gadget from Atlassian: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1214527/javascript-charts-for-jira-cloud?hosting=cloud&tab=overview

Please note that I am just a Jira user, and not a tool vendor or employee of Atlassian.
