Azure DevOps-native sprint and flow intelligence
Sprint health, flow metrics, forecasting, reporting, and operational controls inside Azure DevOps with no publisher-hosted analytics backend.
Pin sprint health data to your Azure DevOps homepage
New in 3.1.5 — three dashboard widgets let you see team health, cycle time, and throughput at a glance without opening the hub. Pin any widget to any Azure DevOps dashboard.
Team Health Widget
A composite health score (0–100, letter grade A–F) computed from five weighted inputs. Shows the score, grade in a colour-coded badge (green / amber / red), and a throughput trend arrow at a glance.
- Commitment Reliability (30%), Scope Churn (20%), Carryover (20%)
- Throughput Trend (15%), WIP Utilisation (15%)
- Letter grade badge: A–F with colour coding
- Supports 1×2 and 2×2 dashboard sizes
Cycle Time Widget
Shows p50 and p85 cycle time across the last 6 sprints with an inline sparkline chart tracking both percentiles over time — without leaving the dashboard.
- p50 and p85 cycle time headline numbers
- Inline sparkline for 6-sprint trend
- Tracks both percentiles simultaneously
- Supports 2×2 and 2×4 dashboard sizes
Throughput Widget
Displays the latest sprint throughput and the 6-sprint rolling average as headline numbers, backed by an inline bar chart with the current sprint highlighted.
- Latest sprint throughput vs 6-sprint average
- Inline bar chart with current sprint highlight
- Instant delivery pace visibility from the homepage
- Supports 2×2 and 2×4 dashboard sizes
Real-time visibility into every sprint
Understand how your team performs sprint over sprint. Catch commitment drift early and arrive at every planning session with data to back your decisions.
Sprint Velocity
Visualizes the last 6 completed sprints — committed story points vs completed story points side by side. Automatically calculates commitment reliability % and flags sprints where scope creep or under-commitment occurred.
- Last 6 sprints bar chart — committed vs completed
- Commitment reliability % trend line
- Highlights over- and under-commitment patterns
- Filters by team and iteration path
Sprint Burndown
Current sprint SVG burndown chart showing ideal burn-rate vs actual remaining work. Ahead/behind badge updates live as items are completed throughout the sprint.
- Ideal line vs actual remaining work
- Ahead / Behind badge with delta in story points
- Updates live without page refresh
- Works with both story points and item count
Sprint Detail
Current sprint point summary plus a breakdown of every work item by state. See exactly what is In Progress, Blocked, Done, and yet to be started — all on one screen.
- Total committed, completed, remaining, added scope
- Items grouped by workflow state
- Blocked item indicator
- Click-through to work item detail
Scope Completion
Tracks the percentage of the original sprint commitment that was completed, separating scope added mid-sprint from the initial plan. Helps distinguish planning problems from execution problems.
- Original commitment vs final completion %
- Mid-sprint scope additions clearly flagged
- Historical scope discipline trend
- Team-level and individual-level views
Sprint Summary
A single-screen snapshot of each sprint built from revision history — not current board state. Commitment is locked at end of day 2 to account for planning refinement. Multi-team comparison with CSV export included.
- Committed set locked at end of day 2 — handles late additions from distributed teams
- Scope change as net additions and removals — bounces are neutral
- Carryover based on workflow state position, not estimate fields
- Removed Items Panel with title, type, and state at removal
- Multi-team comparison with independent sprint selectors and CSV export
- Data from System.IterationPath revision history via EVER WIQL — not current board state
Sprint Capacity
Reads team capacity directly from Azure DevOps Boards — no external calendar needed. Shows available days per team member, team-wide days off, and effective capacity % for any sprint. Calculates a recommended story point commitment by applying capacity % to your team's historical velocity.
- Reads iteration dates, working days, and per-member days off from ADO
- Team-wide days off (company holidays, all-hands) factored in automatically
- Effective capacity % = available person-days / total person-days
- Recommended commitment = avg velocity × capacity %
- Sprint selector covers current, upcoming, and recent past sprints
- Empty state guides teams to Boards → Sprints → Capacity if not configured
Measure flow efficiency, not just output
Cycle time and throughput reveal how work actually moves through your process. Use flow analytics to identify bottlenecks, reduce variability, and build predictability.
Cycle Time Scatterplot
Every completed work item is plotted as a dot — date completed on the X axis, cycle time in days on the Y axis. Percentile lines (50th, 85th, 95th) give instant SLE (Service Level Expectation) visibility.
- P50, P85, P95 percentile lines
- Filter by work item type and date range
- Outlier highlighting for long-running items
- Export to PNG for reporting
Flow Efficiency Trends
Tracks the ratio of active work time vs total elapsed time (wait time + active time) over rolling 4-week periods. Declining efficiency surfaces hidden queuing problems.
- Active time vs wait time breakdown
- Rolling 4-week efficiency trend
- Column-level flow analysis
- WIP vs throughput correlation view
WIP Monitor
Live board view showing every in-progress item, its age in days, and which items are approaching or exceeding team-configured WIP limits. Red badges alert on policy breaches instantly.
- Per-column WIP count vs configured limit
- Item age in days — color coded (green/amber/red)
- Configurable WIP limit per column
- Breach alert with count of violations
Aging & Blocked Items
Surfaces items that have been in the same state longer than expected or are explicitly tagged as blocked. Prevent forgotten tickets from becoming sprint surprises.
- Age threshold alerts per column
- Blocked tag detection
- Time-in-state histogram
- Escalation-ready summary list
Cumulative Flow Diagram
A stacked area chart showing how work items move through six workflow stages over time. Built from state event history replayed day by day through your configured workflow mapping — not a snapshot of current board state.
- Six stages: New → Queued → In Progress → Test → Review → Done
- Built from work item state event history, not current board state
- Respects your saved workflow mapping for custom state names
- Reveals WIP accumulation, throughput drops, and queue build-up at a glance
Forecast delivery with statistical confidence
Use your own historical throughput data to build probabilistic forecasts. Stop guessing delivery dates and start presenting confidence intervals backed by 10,000 simulated futures.
Monte Carlo Forecast
Enter a backlog item count, select a throughput window, and the simulator runs 10,000 iterations drawing from your real delivery data. Output: P50, P85, and P95 delivery date estimates.
- 10,000 simulation runs per forecast
- P50 / P85 / P95 confidence date bands
- Configurable throughput lookback window
- Histogram of simulated completion dates
Feature Delivery
Tracks active Features (epics) and their child story completion percentage using WIQL link queries. Know which features are on track and which need attention before stakeholder reviews.
- Feature-level completion % via child link query
- Active vs completed child story counts
- Rollup from any work item hierarchy level
- Filter by area path and iteration
Delivery Signals
Aggregated risk signals across all current work: blocked ratio, WIP policy compliance, cycle time deviation, and scope change index. Single-panel health score for leadership dashboards.
- Composite delivery health score
- Blocked ratio, WIP compliance, scope drift signals
- Traffic-light status (green/amber/red)
- Trend vs previous sprint comparison
