Yes, you can use Google Data Studio to create a sprint velocity trend chart that shows how much work was performed over time across various sprints. Here's how you do it:
- Connect Your Data Source - To create a sprint velocity chart, connect Google Data Studio to a data source containing your sprint data. You may link to JIRA, Google Sheets, and any other project management application that tracks velocity metrics.
- Create a Sprint Velocity Data Source - If you are using JIRA, you can utilize the JIRA API to extract sprint velocity data or link directly to Google Sheets, which stores your sprint data. Make sure the data contains sprint dates and completed narrative points for each sprint.
- Create the Trend Chart - Once your data is in Data Studio, you can use a time series chart to see sprint velocity across multiple sprints.
- The X-axis should be the sprint dates, and the Y-axis should be the total number of narrative points accomplished per sprint.
- If necessary, apply filters to break down the chart by team, project, or epic level.
- Customize the Chart - You may add trend lines, color coding, and other features to make the chart more legible and actionable. This enables stakeholders to easily identify team performance trends and estimate future sprint velocities.
Using Google Data Studio, you can construct a robust, interactive sprint velocity trend chart to track team performance and optimize sprint planning.
