SprintVitals

SprintVitals is a Forge app for Jira Software Scrum boards. It gives your team a single view of recent sprint performance — committed scope, work added mid-sprint, completion, spillover, and trailing averages — plus a Backlog Health snapshot for the upcoming sprint so you can see refinement readiness before planning starts.

Project dashboard. Open a Jira project that uses a Scrum board, then select the SprintVitals tab in the project sidebar. Choose your Scrum board from the dropdown at the top of the page to load that board's sprints and metrics.

Global settings. Jira administrators can open SprintVitals Settings from the Jira apps menu (Forge global page). Use this page to configure metrics per Scrum board — it is separate from the project dashboard and does not require opening a specific project first.

After you pick a Scrum board, the page is organized in two main sections:

• Backlog Health — for the board's upcoming sprint, save a snapshot of refined backlog items (story points > 0). Snapshots lock automatically when the sprint starts in Jira. The section shows refined ticket count and total refined points.
• Sprint Health Dashboard — a table of recent sprints with one row per sprint.

Each sprint row includes columns such as planned dates, goal, committed and added scope, completed work, custom completion (when configured), spillover, backlog health from saved snapshots, and a trailing Average of completed story points across recent closed sprints.

When you install SprintVitals or open a board for the first time, sprint rows usually appear within moments. Detailed metrics may show Syncing… for a few minutes while background sync pulls issue data from Jira. Refresh the page after a short wait — metrics populate as each sprint is processed. A banner at the top of the dashboard also indicates when sync is still in progress.

Open SprintVitals Settings (Jira apps menu) to configure options per Scrum board:

• Scrum board — select which board you are configuring. Board names come directly from Jira.
• Custom Completion — choose which Jira workflow statuses count as "completed" for the Custom Completion column. Until you save settings for a board, Custom Completion mirrors the standard Completed column (Jira Done). Saving updates historical closed sprints on that board.
• Dashboard Average window — set how many recent closed sprints (2–7, default 4) are used to compute the Average column on the dashboard.

Click Save after changing settings. Changes apply to the dashboard on the next load.
