Monitor your team's sprint progress with Keypup's Sprint Progress Chart Metric. This metric provides an overview of issues due within a selected time period (week, month, quarter, etc.) categorized as open versus closed, helping you track roadmap progress beyond traditional burndown charts.

Understanding the Sprint Progress Metric

Sprint progress metrics provide comprehensive visibility into work completion over time. In addition to traditional burndown charts, sprint progress metrics help monitor roadmap progress by showing the relationship between planned work and completed work across flexible time periods.

Key Benefits of Sprint Progress Tracking

  • Flexible time ranges: Track progress across weeks, months, quarters, or custom time periods that align with your team's workflow.
  • Roadmap alignment: Monitor progress toward mid-term objectives by aligning the metric with your roadmap sprints based on quarters or semesters.
  • Reduced maintenance: Using extended time ranges facilitates progress tracking when your team doesn't use due dates for daily items, such as with flexi kanban approaches.

How to Use the Sprint Progress Metric

By aligning this metric with your roadmap sprints, which may be based on quarters or semesters, you will get a better understanding of how close you are to your mid-term objectives.

Flexible Kanban Support

Using an extended time range facilitates progress tracking when your team doesn't use due dates for daily items (such as flexi kanban). You can then assign due dates to your epics and track their completion via this metric. While still tracking mid-term objectives accurately, this approach requires less due date maintenance.

Strategic Applications

  • Epic tracking: Assign due dates to epics rather than individual tasks for higher-level progress monitoring.
  • Reduced overhead: Minimize the maintenance burden of updating due dates on every task while maintaining visibility into overall progress.
  • Mid-term focus: Maintain accurate tracking of mid-term objectives without getting lost in daily task management details.

Enhance Your Sprint Visibility

Whether you're using traditional sprint planning or flexible kanban approaches, the Sprint Progress Chart Metric provides the visibility you need to track completion rates, identify trends, and ensure your team stays on track toward achieving roadmap objectives.
