Dashboard Widgets: Bring Sprint Health to Your Azure DevOps Homepage

Three new widgets — Team Health, Cycle Time, and Throughput — let you see the state of your sprint without opening the analytics hub. Here is how they work and how to set them up.

One of the most common requests from Agile Analytics users was the ability to see key metrics on their Azure DevOps homepage without navigating into the hub. Version 3.1.5 delivers exactly that: three dashboard widgets you can pin to any Azure DevOps dashboard in any project.

Team Health Widget

The Team Health widget computes a composite health score (0–100) from five weighted inputs and displays it alongside a letter grade (A through F) in a colour-coded badge.

  • Commitment Reliability — 30% weight
  • Scope Churn — 20% weight
  • Carryover — 20% weight
  • Throughput Trend — 15% weight
  • WIP Utilisation — 15% weight

The badge is green above 75, amber between 50 and 74, and red below 50. A throughput trend arrow shows whether sprint output is climbing or declining. The widget supports 1×2 and 2×2 tile sizes.

Cycle Time Widget

The Cycle Time widget surfaces p50 and p85 cycle time across the last 6 sprints as headline numbers. An inline sparkline chart tracks both percentiles over time so you can spot whether your cycle time is stable, improving, or drifting upward. Supports 2×2 and 2×4 sizes.

Throughput Widget

The Throughput widget shows the latest sprint throughput alongside the 6-sprint rolling average, backed by an inline bar chart where the current sprint is highlighted. This makes it easy for managers and stakeholders to see delivery pace at a glance from the dashboard. Supports 2×2 and 2×4 sizes.

How to Add a Widget to Your Dashboard

All three widgets are available from the Azure DevOps dashboard widget catalog. Open any dashboard, click the pencil icon to enter edit mode, then click Add Widget and search for "Agile Analytics". Each widget has a single configuration step: pick a team from the project-grouped dropdown, save, and the widget populates immediately.

Widget Configuration

All three widgets share the same settings panel. You select a team from a dropdown organised by project — no separate API keys or external configuration required. The widgets read the same data as the hub views and respect your saved workflow mapping.
