Done!

[Linda Hufland]

Great idea! I voted for it.

Hi,

As an alternative, to track resource / sprint velocity as a dashboard gadget, I can recommend our app. The app comes with couple of gadgets to track team member's velocity in a sprint and also a complete sprint status overview.

By default, there's no way to put Velocity charts to the dashboard unless you use some plugin i.e. https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1215768/agile-velocity-chart-gadget?hosting=server&tab=overview

[Max Cascone]

How is this even possible that JIRA has no native way to show velocity charts in a dashboard. How is it acceptable. I find this so hard to believe. One of the most basic charts in all of Agile and they can't support it? I have to pay for a 3rd party extension for one of the most baseline capabilities in an ALM tool? I know there's a report, but i want it in a dashboard. 

Who's got a link to an existing feature request that will go unsatisfied for years?

Agreed. This is a pretty big miss. Team velocity is kind-of the main point. 

[Max Cascone]

It's like, THE point! Of points! So you can guage your performance over time! And they INSIST on so many charts and gadgets only supporting points.... and then to not have a velocity gadget?

I'm yelling, sorry. It just baffles me sometimes how half-baked this tool can be sometimes, when it's so powerful and awesome in other ways.

[Craig Cockburn]

Value delivered is the point. Story points is only a planning tool.

[Sha-Ron Cassel]

Is there an update on this?  Is it still not available?

[Jenny Vessgård]

I need it to!

[Alexa]

Same

[KevinBrennan]

Same

[Linda Hufland]

I need it too

[Ivan Garcia _Appfire_]

Apparently no updates on this yet... However, if you really need it, in the meantime I'd suggest our app Dashboard Hub for Jira – Custom Charts & Share Reports as a workaround.

It includes a Scrum Velocity ready-to-go gadget that might be helpful while you wait.

Hope it helps!

@Ivan Garcia _Appfire_ unfortunately we cannot use your apps because you don't have clear EUAs on how you handle our data. We couldn't get it through legal.  

[Ivan Garcia _Appfire_]

Hi @Robin Surland – Did you navigate our documentation and the Appfire Trust Center? We have plenty of information regarding security. If you still have any doubts, you can also raise a ticket in our support center.

Hope it helps, Appfire strives to be transparent in terms of security.

As a work around I added a 'Text' widget to the dashboard which supports html and then embedded the velocity chart url into an iframe into the dashboard.. like this:

<iframe width="900" height="1000" frameborder="0" src="URL to Velocity Chart"></iframe>

[Shaun Alsobrook]

Can you please send me a link to how to add "Text" widget?  I'm triyng to put one of these together

[Michelle Douville]

I just search for the 'text' gadget and it showed up in the last of available gadgets for dashboards.

[Shaun Alsobrook]

Thank you

[David Yeo]

Can no longer find the text widget? 

[Deleted user]

I used the Custom Content gadget and added the URL to the velocity chart.

[Brittany Funk]

Neither Custom Content Gadget or Text widget is available from what I can see. Did something change?

[Scott Rose]

" then embedded the velocity chart url into an iframe into the dashboard.. like this:"

How/where did you create the velocity chart?  Did you do that manually?

[Alla]

It is visible in the sprint reports: switch report -> Velocity chart.

[Kamalpreet Kaur]

Cannot See Custom Content gadget or the text widget, can anyone help?

[Jeremy Jedlicka]

@Kamalpreet Kaur the Text Gadget is disabled by default for security purposes.  Have your Admin enable it if needed.
