    So glad you've added the Sprint Health Gadget. However, I have Atlassian OnDemand (currently on GreenHopper v6.2.4.3) & don't see this gadget available from the list of gadgets on my dashboard. Do you know why that might be?

      Hi Karlene,

      This feature was introduced in GreenHopper 6.2.5. There is usually a short delay before OnDemand customers are upgraded with the latest GreenHopper release (you can check this on What's New in future). You should have GreenHopper 6.2.5 now.

      Kind Regards,
      Andrew

    Nice gadget!  Can you tell me specifically what field and field value is being used to count "Blockers"?

    1. Andrew

      Hi William,

      "Blockers" are issues with a Priority = Blocker.

      Kind Regards,
      Andrew

      For systems with the default "Blocker" status still in the system, Priority = Blocker is true, but for those who have customized their priorities will be the one that is counted as a blocker by the Health Gadget.

    How do you calculate the Scope change? If I originally have a Sprint with 100 story points, remove stories worth 20 points and add something else worth 20 points, is my scope change 40% or something else?

      I'd like to know this answer too.

    Would it be possible to check "sprint health" for already completed sprints, please?
