Master Sprint Dashboard Cards in ClickUp
Sprint Dashboard cards in ClickUp help Agile teams monitor backlog, sprint progress, and capacity in one place so you can quickly understand performance and make better planning decisions.
This how-to guide walks you through the available Sprint Dashboard cards, what each one shows, and how to configure them for clear and actionable reporting.
What are Sprint Dashboard cards in ClickUp?
In ClickUp, Sprint Dashboard cards are specialized report widgets built for teams using Sprints and the Sprints ClickApp. These cards pull data from your Sprint Folders and Lists to give you live insight into work status.
Each card focuses on a different aspect of your sprint, such as:
- Backlog size and changes
- Work completed versus remaining
- Velocity and forecasting
- Work in progress and bottlenecks
- Individual and team capacity
To use these cards, you must first enable the Sprints ClickApp and set up Sprints in your Workspace projects.
Prerequisites for Sprint Dashboard cards in ClickUp
Before adding Sprint Dashboard cards in ClickUp, make sure you have:
- The Sprints ClickApp enabled in your Workspace settings
- At least one Sprint Folder and Sprint List created
- Tasks assigned to a Sprint, with start and due dates where needed
- Custom fields and statuses aligned with your Agile process
Once these basics are configured, you can open any Dashboard and start adding Sprint cards.

Types of Sprint Dashboard cards in ClickUp
The following sections explain each available Sprint Dashboard card, based strictly on the official ClickUp Sprint Dashboard cards documentation.
ClickUp Backlog card
The Backlog card tracks tasks that have not yet been pulled into a Sprint. It helps you understand how much work is waiting to be scheduled.
With this card you can:
- See the total number of backlog tasks
- Track changes over time as items move into Sprints
- Identify whether your backlog is growing faster than it is being cleared
Filter settings let you limit the view to certain locations or task types so your ClickUp Dashboard remains focused.
ClickUp Sprint burndown card
The Sprint burndown card displays how much work remains in a Sprint compared to your planned completion trend.
This card helps you:
- View remaining work by points, tasks, or estimated time
- Compare actual progress against the ideal burndown line
- Identify early if the team is ahead or behind schedule
Use this ClickUp card during daily standups to quickly review sprint health.
ClickUp Sprint burnup card
The Sprint burnup card shows total work completed over the span of the Sprint, making it easy to see cumulative progress.
Key insights include:
- How much work has been finished at each point in time
- Whether scope changed during the Sprint
- How completion trends compare across different Sprints
Because the burnup chart highlights both scope and completion, it is especially useful in ClickUp for teams with frequently changing requirements.
ClickUp Sprint velocity card
The Sprint velocity card measures how much work the team completes each Sprint, based on your selected unit, such as story points or tasks.
Use this card to:
- Compare completed work across multiple Sprints
- Calculate average velocity over time
- Improve forecasting for future Sprints and releases
Velocity reporting in ClickUp is essential for planning future Sprint capacity and setting realistic expectations with stakeholders.
ClickUp Sprint progress card
The Sprint progress card summarizes the current state of a Sprint using simple metrics and visual indicators.
Typical details include:
- Total tasks in the Sprint
- Tasks completed, in progress, and not started
- Percentage of work done versus total scope
This card gives a clear, high-level overview and is ideal for management views within your ClickUp Dashboards.
ClickUp Work in Progress (WIP) card
The Work in Progress card tracks how many tasks are currently in active statuses for the Sprint.
It helps you:
- Monitor whether WIP limits are being exceeded
- Detect bottlenecks in specific workflow stages
- Encourage a focus on finishing work before starting new tasks
Configuring status groups correctly in ClickUp ensures that this card accurately reflects your real WIP levels.
ClickUp Workload by Assignee card
The Workload by Assignee card shows how Sprint work is distributed across individual team members.
With this card you can:
- See the number of tasks, points, or effort each person owns
- Identify overloaded or underutilized team members
- Rebalance tasks to maintain a sustainable pace
Use this ClickUp view during planning to create more balanced Sprints.
ClickUp Workload by Status card
The Workload by Status card breaks down Sprint tasks by their current status categories, such as To Do, In Progress, and Done.
It enables you to:
- See where most work is currently sitting
- Highlight stages with large queues or delays
- Track how quickly work flows through your pipeline
Grouping tasks by status in ClickUp makes it easier to spot stages that need process improvements or additional resources.
Best practices for Sprint Dashboard cards in ClickUp
To get reliable, actionable insights from Sprint cards, follow these practices:
- Keep Sprint dates accurate and consistent.
- Use a clear status workflow that matches your Agile process.
- Regularly groom your backlog so Backlog and progress cards stay meaningful.
- Apply the same unit of measurement, like story points, across related cards.
- Standardize Sprint naming so filters work correctly in ClickUp.
Consider building different Dashboards for team leads, executives, and individual contributors, each with tailored Sprint Dashboard cards.
Next steps and additional resources
Once your Sprint Dashboard cards in ClickUp are configured, review them at key moments:
- During backlog refinement to monitor scope growth
- At Sprint planning to set realistic commitments
- In daily standups to track burndown and WIP
