Monitor and Report on Sprints in ClickUp

Managing agile projects is easier when you can monitor and report on sprint performance directly in ClickUp. This guide walks you through using Sprint Widgets, Sprint Cards, and Sprint Lists to understand your team’s progress and workload throughout each sprint cycle.

Overview of Sprint Reporting in ClickUp

Sprint reporting in ClickUp is built around three powerful components you add to Dashboards:

Sprint Widgets to measure workload, capacity, and completion
Sprint Cards to track statuses, points, and estimates
Sprint Lists to manage tasks grouped by sprint dates

These tools work together so you can quickly see how your team is performing during and after each sprint.

Access Requirements for ClickUp Sprint Reporting

Before setting up reporting for sprints in ClickUp, make sure the right people have the right permissions.

You must have access to the Workspace and Space where sprint tasks live.
Team members need permission to view the Dashboard that contains the sprint reporting widgets.
Only members with permission to edit Dashboards can add or configure Sprint Widgets, Sprint Cards, and Sprint Lists.

How to Add Sprint Widgets in ClickUp Dashboards

Sprint Widgets in ClickUp let you monitor capacity, estimates, and workload trends for a single sprint or across multiple sprints.

Step 1: Open or Create a Dashboard in ClickUp

From the left sidebar, open the Dashboards section.
Select an existing Dashboard or create a new one.

Step 2: Add a Sprint Widget

Click the option to + Add widget on your Dashboard.
Search for or browse to the Sprint category.
Select the type of Sprint Widget you want to add.

Common Sprint Widgets in ClickUp

The exact widget names and options can evolve, but typical Sprint Widgets include:

Sprint Velocity: Track how many story points are completed per sprint so you can plan future capacity.
Sprint Progress: Monitor how many tasks or points are completed versus remaining as the sprint progresses.
Sprint Burndown or Burnup: Visualize how work is burning down or completed over the sprint timeline.

Configure Sprint Widgets in ClickUp

After adding a widget, configure it to match your process:

Choose a location: Select the Space, Folder, or Lists that contain your sprint tasks.
Select sprints: Choose one or multiple sprints you want to monitor.
Pick fields: Set how estimates are measured, such as Story Points or Time Estimates.
Apply filters: Filter by assignee, status, or custom fields if needed.

Use the widget settings to focus only on active sprints or compare current and past sprints for trend analysis.

Using Sprint Cards in ClickUp Dashboards

Sprint Cards in ClickUp give you a concise overview of the most important metrics and details for each sprint.

How to Add a Sprint Card

Open your ClickUp Dashboard.
Click + Add widget.
Choose a Sprint Card from the Sprint widget options.

Configure a Sprint Card in ClickUp

Set up your Sprint Card to show the most relevant data:

Select the location that contains your sprint Lists.
Choose the specific sprint or sprints to display.
Enable metrics such as:

Number of open, in-progress, and closed tasks
Total and completed story points
Time estimated versus time tracked
Average cycle time or lead time (where available)

Sprint Cards make it easy to compare different sprints in ClickUp, so you can see whether your team is improving over time.

Tracking Tasks with Sprint Lists in ClickUp

Sprint Lists in ClickUp organize tasks into time-boxed iterations, usually one or two weeks long, so you can track work by sprint boundaries.

Set Up Sprint Lists

In your Space, create or open a Folder that holds your sprint Lists.
Create a List for each sprint, using a consistent naming format such as Sprint 12: Jan 1–Jan 14.
Make sure your tasks are assigned to the correct sprint List.

View Sprint Performance from Lists

From a sprint List in ClickUp, you can report on sprint progress using built-in views and fields:

List View with columns for Status, Assignee, Story Points, and Time Estimates.
Board View for a Kanban-style status board of sprint tasks.
Custom Fields such as Sprint Name, Sprint Start, and Sprint End (if configured).

Use grouping and filtering to quickly isolate tasks for a given sprint or team member.

Measure Sprint Workload and Capacity in ClickUp

Workload monitoring helps you avoid over-committing your team during a sprint.

Workload Metrics Available Through Sprint Widgets

Depending on the Sprint Widgets you select in ClickUp, you can monitor:

Total story points per assignee
Total time estimated per assignee
Completed vs. remaining work by person or team
Overall team capacity from one sprint to the next

Use these insights to rebalance tasks during the sprint and adjust planning for upcoming sprints.

Analyze Sprint Progress and Outcomes in ClickUp

Sprint reporting in ClickUp helps you understand both in-sprint progress and overall trends across multiple iterations.

Monitor Active Sprint Progress

While a sprint is in progress, use your Dashboard widgets and Lists to:

Track how many tasks are moving to In Progress and Done.
Monitor whether the burn rate of story points or hours is on pace with the sprint length.
Identify blocked tasks or bottlenecks by status or assignee.

Review Completed Sprints

Once a sprint ends, you can use ClickUp Dashboards to review outcomes:

Compare planned vs. completed story points.
Review which tasks were carried over to the next sprint.
Assess whether estimates were accurate compared to time tracked.
Spot trends in sprint velocity over time.

These insights help you improve estimation, capacity planning, and sprint scope for future cycles.

Best Practices for Sprint Dashboards in ClickUp

To get the most from sprint reporting, follow a consistent structure for your Dashboards and Lists.

Create a dedicated Sprint Dashboard with all Sprint Widgets and Sprint Cards in one place.
Standardize sprint naming and date ranges across Lists and widgets.
Use the same estimation method (story points or time) across all teams that share a Dashboard.
Limit widgets to the most meaningful metrics, so your Dashboard remains clear and actionable.
