Widgets
Scope
Indicates the amount of work in story points that is planned for the sprint. This widget lets you see at a glance how much work must be completed to achieve the sprint goal. It also lets you drill down to detail on the stories planned into the sprint.
Percent Completed
Indicates the percentage of work that has been completed in the sprint using story points. This widget lets you see at a glance how much work has been completed in the sprint. Together with the adjacent Time Elapsed widget, these widgets lets you easily see whether you are completing work at a rate consistent with achieving the sprint goal on schedule.
Time Elapsed
Indicates the percentage of time that has elapsed between the start date and planned end date of the sprint. Together with the adjacent Percent Completed widget, these widgets let you easily see whether you are completing work at a rate consistent with achieving the sprint goal on schedule.
Committed Points
Indicates the committed scope (in number of story points) of the sprint. Together with the adjacent Scope widget, these widgets let you see difference between the scope committed at the start of the sprint and the current scope of the sprint.
Note: This widget is not visible by default. You can add it from Reports to your dashboard. For more information, see Edit a responsive dashboard.
Blocked Work
Indicates the amount of work (in story points) in the sprint that is blocked.
Stories Missing Estimates
Indicates the total number of stories in the sprint that are missing estimates. It is required that you use estimates for the other indicators, widgets, and reports on this dashboard to be meaningful.
Note: If you do not estimate stories, enter a "1" in the Story Points field. The other indicators, widgets, and reports will then effectively function by count.
