How to Calculate Throughput in Jira

Updated on:

Use this interactive demo to learn how to measure sprint throughput using Jira Reports.

Quick summary

Throughput in Jira measures the number of issues completed during a sprint, giving teams a reliable metric for delivery capacity. Using the Sprint Report, you can quickly identify completed versus incomplete work for any selected sprint timeframe.


Steps

  1. Navigate to your project in Jira.
  2. Click on 'Reports' in the left sidebar.
  3. Select 'Sprint Report' from the list.
  4. Choose the sprint you want to analyze by clicking the drop-down arrow.
  5. Scroll down and go to 'Status Report' to check the number of issues completed and not completed during the sprint.
  6. Review the results to identify the throughput count for your selected timeframe.

📌 Why this matters

Calculating throughput in Jira gives agile teams a concrete, data-driven way to measure how many issues are completed per sprint, making it easier to forecast delivery capacity and plan future workloads. Unlike velocity, throughput focuses on issue count rather than story points, making it a more accessible metric for teams of all maturity levels. By leveraging Jira's built-in Sprint Report and Status Report, teams can track completed versus incomplete work without any third-party tools. This makes throughput analysis in Jira a critical practice for continuous improvement and reliable sprint planning.
