Sprint reporting in ClickUp (legacy cards)

Legacy sprint reporting cards in ClickUp help you quickly understand how your team performed in a sprint, which tasks were completed, and how many story points were finished or carried over. This how-to guide explains every legacy sprint reporting card and shows you how to read and use the data to improve your next sprint.

These sprint reports are available on older versions of the Sprint Dashboard cards. If your Workspace uses newer dashboards, the layout may look different, but the concepts are similar.

Accessing legacy sprint reporting in ClickUp

Before you can read the legacy sprint reporting cards, you need to open the dashboard inside ClickUp that includes these widgets.

Open your Workspace in ClickUp.
Go to the left sidebar and click Dashboards.
Select the dashboard that contains your sprint reports.
Locate the cards labeled with sprint metrics such as Sprint Points Completed or similar names.

If you do not see these cards, your team may be using updated dashboard widgets instead of the legacy sprint reporting cards.

Understanding legacy sprint cards in ClickUp

Legacy sprint reporting cards in ClickUp summarize sprint performance with a mixture of metrics and visual bars. They allow you to answer questions like:

How many story points were completed in the sprint?
How much work was added after the sprint started?
How many points were carried over to the next sprint?

The cards usually pull information from Lists or Folders configured as sprints, often driven by a Sprint Folder or other Sprint features in ClickUp.

ClickUp sprint capacity and completed points

One of the main legacy sprint cards in ClickUp focuses on sprint capacity and completed points. This gives you a quick view of how the team performed against the total planned work.

Key metrics on the capacity card

Typical metrics you will see include:

Total Sprint Points: The sum of all story points assigned to the sprint at any time, including added work.
Initial Commitment: The number of story points that were in the sprint at the very start.
Completed Points: How many points were finished by the end of the sprint.
Remaining or Incomplete Points: Points that were not finished when the sprint ended.

Use these values to understand whether your team is overcommitting or undercommitting each sprint.

How to read the capacity bar

Legacy sprint reporting cards display a visual bar to show capacity and completion:

Look for a horizontal bar with segments representing planned, added, completed, and unfinished work.
Hover over each segment to see tooltips with more precise numbers.
Compare completed points with the original commitment to see if scope changed significantly.

If completed points are much lower than the original commitment, consider reducing scope in future sprints.

ClickUp sprint scope changes and added work

Another important legacy sprint reporting card in ClickUp tracks how much work was added or removed after the sprint began.

Metrics for scope changes

Common metrics on this card include:

Points Added After Start: Story points moved into the sprint after it started.
Points Removed: Story points taken out of the sprint while it was in progress.
Net Scope Change: The difference between added and removed points.

These values help you understand how stable your sprint scope is. Large net increases can indicate that work is being pushed into the sprint mid-cycle.

Steps to evaluate scope stability

Open the scope change card on your sprint dashboard.
Check the Points Added After Start value.
Compare it to your Initial Commitment value on the capacity card.
If added work exceeds a small threshold (for example, 10–20% of the original points), discuss with your team how to reduce mid-sprint scope changes.

ClickUp sprint burndown overview

Some legacy sprint reporting cards in ClickUp also include a burndown-style visualization that shows how remaining work changed each day.

How to read a legacy burndown card

Although the exact layout may vary, you will usually see:

A line or bar chart showing remaining story points per day of the sprint.
An ideal burndown line that represents a steady rate of completion.
Data points where work was added, causing the remaining line to jump up.

Locate the burndown card on your dashboard.
Look at the start of the sprint to confirm that the initial point total matches your commitment.
Trace the line through the sprint to see when work was completed or added.
Compare the actual line to the ideal burndown line to evaluate pacing.

If your team finishes most work only at the end of the sprint, consider breaking work into smaller tasks or addressing blockers earlier.

ClickUp sprint carryover and rollover work

Legacy sprint reporting cards in ClickUp often highlight work that was not completed and rolled over to the next sprint.

Identifying carryover tasks and points

The carryover section typically shows:

Unfinished Tasks: Count of tasks still open at the end of the sprint.
Carryover Points: Total story points on those unfinished tasks.
Percentage of Commitment Not Completed: The share of planned points that remain open.

Use these metrics to track how consistently you finish what you plan for each sprint.

How to act on carryover data

Review the carryover card after each sprint ends.
Identify tasks with high story points that caused most of the rollover.
Split very large tasks into smaller, more manageable items for the next sprint.
Adjust your future sprint planning so that average completed points and planned points are closer.

ClickUp sprint velocity trends

Some legacy sprint reporting cards in ClickUp show velocity over multiple sprints. This helps you forecast future capacity.

Using velocity to plan future sprints

Velocity cards often show:

Points Completed Per Sprint for the last several sprints.
Average Velocity, calculated across those sprints.
Trends or changes in team performance over time.

Open the velocity card in your dashboard.
Review completed points from at least three recent sprints.
Calculate or note the average velocity shown on the card.
Use that average as a guide for how many points to include in your next sprint.

Keeping planned work near your average velocity helps keep your sprint commitments realistic.

Best practices for using ClickUp legacy sprint reports

To get the most from legacy sprint reporting cards in ClickUp, follow these practical tips.

Standardize your story point usage

Use the same story point scale across all sprints.
Ensure every task in a sprint has a story point value.
Avoid changing point values mid-sprint unless absolutely necessary.

Keep sprint start and end dates accurate

Set clear start and end dates for every sprint.
Avoid extending sprints; instead, move unfinished tasks to the next sprint.
Lock scope at the start as much as possible to keep reports meaningful.

Review cards together in retrospectives

Use the capacity card to discuss overcommitment or undercommitment.
Use scope change metrics to talk about interruptions and unplanned work.
Use velocity trends to adjust planning for upcoming sprints.
