About the Sprint Health gadget

FieldDescription
Overall sprint progress bar
 

The blue, yellow and green colours of this bar represent different issues in different statuses. These colours match the blue, yellow and green columns in the column configuration for your board, where each column has different statuses mapped to it.

Click any part of the bar to view the issues in the corresponding statuses.

Time elapsed

The time elapsed since the sprint was started.

Work complete

This is calculated based on the estimation statistic used for your board. This is reflected by the green part of the progress bar. For example, if you have 50 story points in a sprint and you have 3 issues with 10 story points that have been resolved, the 'Work complete' will be 20% (i.e. 10 out of 50 story points).

Note, the Sprint Health gadget will not reflect the progress from work logged in the 'Remaining Estimate' and 'Time Spent' fields in JIRA, if you have your board configured to use that data (see Configuring Estimation and Tracking).

Scope change

Adding or removing an issue from a sprint, after it has started is considered a change of scope. The percentage is calculated using the statistic that is configured for the board (see Configuring Estimation and Tracking).

For example, if you started a sprint with 50 story points and add an issue with 5 story points, the Sprint Health gadget would show a 10% scope change.

If you add/remove issues that don't have estimates, the scope change will not be altered.

If you're using Time Tracking, Scope Change will not be shown.

Blockers

This field counts all blockers that are in 'To Do' or 'In Progress' in JIRA Agile (see Configuring Columns).

A blocker is evaluated as the highest priority level defined in your JIRA instance. See Defining 'Priority' Field Values.

FlaggedThis field counts all issues that have been flagged.
