Sprint velocity chart not showing completed story points

[Kara Nadarajah]

We recently moved to working in sprints and for both sprints 1 and 2 the velocity chart is not showing any completed story points.

We have completed points in both sprints.

I have checked that the velocity chart is associated with the correct board, could it be something to do with the filter query for the board:

project = FB AND (Status != Closed OR status = Closed AND sprint in openSprints() AND resolution in (done, fixed)) ORDER BY Rank ASC

Hi @Kara Nadarajah 

The board filter determines what is visible in the backlog, on the board, and on the reports.  In addition for Scrum boards, the assigned sprint for issues further impacts the, backlog, board, and reporting.

Looking at the board filter you listed, your "closed" issues would need to be in open sprints to display, which they are not when the sprint completes.  Perhaps try simplifying your filter to this as a start:

project = FB ORDER BY Rank ASC

Kind regards,
Bill

Thank you Bill, that worked.

Hi @Kara Nadarajah - it looks like the main reason for this issue is the sprint is being started and then stories are being estimated in the sprint or adding/changing story points once the sprint started. There is a posted answer to this question posted ack in 2018 here and I hope this helps!

Thanks for your reply, this wasn't the reason in the end, it was the filter query I was using for the board.
