Sprint Intelligence

Track sprint progress with burndown charts, blocker detection, and AI-generated retrospectives.

Overview

Sprint Intelligence provides real-time analytics for your sprints by integrating with ClickUp. Track progress, identify blockers early, and generate AI-powered retrospectives.

Requirement: Sprint Intelligence requires an active ClickUp integration. See ClickUp Integration to set up.

Dashboard

Access Sprint Intelligence at Settings → Sprint Intelligence.

Key Metrics

Metric Description
Total Points Total story points planned for the sprint
Completed Points Points completed so far
Completion % Percentage of sprint completed
Days Remaining Days until sprint end
Velocity Points completed per day (average)
Prediction Estimated completion date

Burndown Charts

Visualize sprint progress with interactive burndown charts:

Chart Lines

  • Ideal Burndown — Linear decline from total to 0
  • Actual Burndown — Real progress day-by-day
  • Predicted Burndown — Forecast based on current velocity

Status Indicators

Status Description
On Track Sprint is progressing as expected
Ahead Sprint is ahead of schedule
At Risk Sprint may not complete on time
Behind Sprint is behind schedule

Blocker Detection

Automatically identify and track blockers:

Blocker Types

Type Description
Dependency Blocked by another task
External Waiting on external parties
Technical Technical issues or bugs
Resource Resource unavailability
Unclear Unclear requirements

Blocker Management

  • View Blockers — See all active blockers with impact
  • Escalate — Flag blockers for management attention
  • Resolve — Mark blockers as resolved with notes
  • Chain View — See blocker dependencies (what's blocking what)

Blocker Impact

Each blocker shows:

  • Points blocked (directly and via chain)
  • Tasks blocked (downstream impact)
  • Days blocked (duration)

Risk Assessment

Automated risk scoring based on multiple factors:

Risk Factors

Factor Impact
Burndown trajectory Up to 30 points if behind schedule
Blocked work Up to 25 points based on % blocked
Scope churn Up to 20 points for high churn (>30%)
Velocity decline Up to 15 points for declining velocity
Low confidence Up to 10 points if prediction confidence <50%

Risk Levels

Score Level
0-29 Low Risk
30-49 Medium Risk
50-69 High Risk
70-100 Critical Risk

Velocity Tracking

Monitor team velocity over time:

Metrics

  • Daily Velocity — Points completed per day
  • Cumulative Velocity — Total points to date
  • Average Velocity — Weighted average (recent days weighted higher)

Velocity Trend

Trend Description
Improving >10% above recent average
Stable Within 10% of average
Declining >10% below average

12-Sprint Trend

View velocity trends across the last 12 sprints with:

  • Individual sprint velocity
  • Completion rates per sprint
  • Team average baseline

Retrospectives

AI-generated sprint retrospectives analyze what worked and what didn't.

Auto-Generated Insights

What Went Well

  • High completion rate (≥90%)
  • Low scope churn (<5%)
  • All blockers resolved
  • Velocity improvements

What Slowed Us Down

  • Low completion rate (<70%)
  • High blocker days
  • High scope churn (>20%)
  • Velocity decline in second half

Improvement Suggestions

  • Blocker escalation processes
  • Scope freeze recommendations
  • Requirements clarification
  • Velocity improvement strategies

Health Score

Each retrospective includes a health score (0-100):

  • 40 points — Completion rate
  • 20 points — Low scope churn (≤10%)
  • 20 points — Blocker resolution rate
  • 20 points — Velocity trend bonus

Comparisons

  • vs Last Sprint — Metric deltas from previous sprint
  • vs Team Average — Comparison to 6-sprint average

Daily Snapshots

Sprint Intelligence captures daily snapshots to track progress:

Captured Data

  • Points by status (completed, in-progress, blocked, to-do)
  • Task counts by status
  • Daily changes (added/removed)
  • Velocity calculations
  • Predictions and confidence scores

Manual Snapshot

Trigger a snapshot manually at any time from the dashboard.

Sprint Comparison

Compare metrics across sprints:

  • View the last 6 sprints side-by-side
  • Compare velocity, completion rate, and health scores
  • Identify trends and patterns
