How to do set up sprint health gadget to show each team?

[llewis]

So I have 1 Jira Cloud project with multiple teams using the one sprint/scrum board.  I have set up a dashboard for the scrum board.  

Have got the sprint health gadget for all teams in one view.  But now I want to show each team individually similar to this diagram I found.

So, how do I set it up?

Hi @llewis -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

When you have multiple "teams" using one Sprint / Scrum board, you actually have one large team and not individual ones.  Merging them this way prevents teams from making individual improvements (such as to their team practices and workflow), tracking progress, planning, etc.

As others have suggested, using separate Jira Sprints and Scrum boards will solve the progress tracking needs. 

However, there may be larger challenges given this organizational structure.  I recommend meeting with your teams, their scrum masters / agile coaches, and their product owners to discuss how this organizational structure impacts them and what improvement experiments could be tried.

Kind regards,
Bill

Thanks Bill for your suggestions.  Actually we don't have multiple scrum masters, agile coaches so I am it.  There are always larger challenges given in any organisational structure, agree.  And totally understand your suggestions.  The majority of the teams are offshore resources who arent necessarily agile.

Thanks again for your suggestions and feedback.  As per agile ways of working, will adapt, trial things and keep on improving

Hi Ilevis,

I've tested it on my board. You just need to have a separate Scrum board for each team and it seems that this gadget just shows items per one board. I don't think you can select the Team_Board to have kind of Live data.

I think this is the biggest limitation for this gadget. 

Hope you'll find the best solution for your needs.

the sprint health gadget is create - it works with the team board great.

I read a blog on the atlassian blog (https://www.atlassian.com/blog/jira/7-steps-to-a-beautiful-and-useful-agile-dashboard) which under point 7 clearly shows multiple team's Sprint health gadget - so I just wanted to find out how that worked.  

Obviously now due to the sprint health gadget limitations, they did this by having individual team boards.

But I have suggested that they put this into their gadget backlog - as I think this would be great to have 

Thanks for your suggestion.  Greatly appreciated.

@llewis -- In the blog you linked to, that is showing multiple uses of the gadget on the same dashboard, each one selecting a a different Scrum board and Sprint.  It is not showing a single gadget somehow configured for different teams.

correct - thanks

Hi @llewis 

Welcome to the community!

To set up individual team views in a single Jira Cloud project with multiple teams using one sprint/scrum board, you can follow these steps:

1. Create Team Names and Associate them with Sprints. Alternatively, you can create components for each team and assign issues accordingly.
2. Set Up Active Sprints for Each Team: Create separate boards for each team and configure sprint durations.
3. You can add a Sprint Health Gadget for each team.
4. Use Swimlanes for Visual Distinction:

By following these steps, you can effectively manage multiple teams within a single Jira Cloud project while maintaining clear visibility into each team's progress through individual boards or swimlanes.

Hi

Thank you for your quick reply.  

But I wasn't asking how to set up active sprints per team or separate team boards, or us swimlanes.

 I have a team dashboard for my jira project which has 6 teams using and 1 scrum board for all work.  All 6 teams are using same sprint.

My question was - how to you set up individual teams' 'sprint health gadget' in a dashboard?  The link I added is in atlassian.com.blog https://www.atlassian.com/blog/jira/7-steps-to-a-beautiful-and-useful-agile-dashboard - but it doesn't tell you how

@llewis Please follow below :

1. Ensure You Have the Proper Permissions.

2. Add the Sprint Health Gadget: Navigate to the shared dashboard. Click on the “Add Gadget” button (usually located in the top-right corner of the dashboard). Search for the Sprint Health Gadget in the gadget directory and add it to the dashboard. Configure the Gadget for a Specific Team.

3. Once the Sprint Health Gadget is added, click on the “...” (More) or Configure option on the gadget. Select the board: Choose the single Scrum board used by all teams.

4. Filter by team: Since all teams use the same sprint on the same board, you’ll need to use a JQL filter to isolate each team's issues within the sprint. This typically involves using custom fields, labels, or components that identify the team.

Example JQL:
Sprint = "<current sprint name or ID>" AND "Team" = "<team name>"

If teams are differentiated by a custom field (like Team), component, or assignee group, use that field for filtering. Repeat for Each Team.

5. Add a separate Sprint Health Gadget for each team and configure it using the appropriate JQL to filter issues specific to that team.

6.Save and Arrange the Gadgets.

Hi again

so I can add the sprint health gadget but the configure doesn't have the field for me to select a filter.  

I can only select the board from a drop down.  what permissions do you need?  I have admin permission for this particular jira project.

[Sushant Verma]

@llewis If the Sprint Health Gadget does not offer a filter option and only allows you to select the board, it might be a limitation of the gadget itself. By default, the Sprint Health Gadget pulls data for the entire sprint and board, and it does not provide native filtering for specific teams or custom JQL.

[llewis]

ok - thank you 

I was hoping that I could show each team as the sprint health gadget is the best one.  Just my opinion.

[Sushant Verma]

@llewis You're welcome. Unfortunately, the gadget doesn't natively support filtering by team. However, there are workarounds and configurations you can try to achieve your goal.

1. Create Separate Boards for Each Team
2. Use Custom Fields or Labels
3. Split Work by Components

ok - thanks

could this go into your gadget backlog
