Track Jira sprints with a burndown chart
To create a burndown chart, navigate to the Charts tab and click 'Add new chart'. Search for "Burndown" to find the burndown template. Open the template and click Configure:
In the chart settings, you can pick Current sprint, Last completed sprint, or any of your past sprints from the menu:
Complete the process by clicking Update chart. You'll see the burndown of the selected sprint:
The burndown chart shows the amount planned for the sprint and the amount completed so far. With the burndown chart, you can quickly see whether you are on time or behind in the sprint.
Group and filter by Sprint
You can filter the charts by Sprint (assigned to) a sprint. That will include all items that were assigned to the selected sprints (completed and uncompleted):
Once a sprint ends, all or a subset of the work items are completed during the sprint. You can filter the chart by Sprint (Completed in) to see which tasks were completed during the sprint.
You can group and filter charts with either Sprint (assigned to) or Sprint (Completed in), depending on whether you are interested in tracking assignments or completions by Jira sprint.
Cumulative flow of a sprint
The Cumulative Flow Diagram (CFD) shows the amount of work in different stages of your workflow during one or more sprints. This chart helps you to see trends and spot bottlenecks in your workflow.
Each coloured area of the chart represents the number of work items (or story points) in a specific workflow state on a given day during the sprint. The horizontal axis indicates time, and the vertical axis indicates the number of tasks. You can identify bottlenecks by looking at the widening areas in the chart. Are tasks piling up in a specific workflow state or assignee?
Use the Cumulative flow chart for spotting bottlenecks during the sprint. An upward trend indicates progress towards the goal, and a flat trend indicates stalled progress.

Track sprints across multiple Jira boards
With Screenful, you can get reports of the current sprint or any of your previous sprints. You can aggregate sprint data across multiple boards into one chart. Here's an example chart showing the number of story points completed by sprint:
You can get this chart by going to the Charts tab and searching Story points by sprint from templates.
All charts can be filtered by any of your sprints. There are also special filters for the Current sprint, and the Last completed sprint, that help you to set the filter once and let it work for you for all your future sprints!
When your active sprint changes, the filter will automatically adjust to display the correct sprint.
