Sprint report sections

The Sprint report combines executive interpretation with drill-down evidence. Depending on Jira data and configured visibility, the report can include:

  • Executive Briefing / Executive Summary
  • Management Commentary
  • Sprint Health and core delivery KPIs
  • Risk profile and delivery risk
  • Scope health, Sprint Scope History and scope movement
  • Work distribution, workload and capacity signals
  • Velocity and throughput context
  • Return to Green guidance
  • Acceptance Criteria coverage
  • Effort estimates and variance
  • Sprint Burndown
  • Status, work-item type and priority distributions
  • Traceability & Quality Evidence
  • Detailed work-item evidence
  • Next-sprint / outlook signals when available
  • Custom Jira Insights configured for the Sprint context

Management Commentary

StatusDeck generates an executive interpretation from authorised Jira data. The commentary editor supports three working states:

  • Generated — StatusDeck’s current generated narrative.
  • Draft — a user-edited working version saved in Atlassian-hosted Forge storage for that reporting context.
  • Published — the approved commentary version used for sharing/export where applicable.

Users can edit the text, Save Draft, Publish, or Restore Generated.

Report layout and visibility

StatusDeck supports movable report sections/cards. Users can arrange the report for their audience and configure native KPI visibility. Layout controls themselves are excluded from exported report content.

Export or publish

Open Export / Publish and choose either:

  • Download — generate PowerPoint (.pptx) or PDF (.pdf) in the browser and download it to the current device.
  • Publish to Confluence — select an accessible space and parent page, then create or update a report page with native report content plus PDF and PowerPoint attachments.

See Confluence publishing for the complete workflow.

Refresh and caching

Jira remains the source of truth. StatusDeck may reuse short-lived Forge-hosted report caches to reduce repeated Jira API work. Active Sprint reports are normally cached for up to 5 minutes; closed Sprint reports can be cached for up to 1 hour. Oversized report results may skip caching and are generated fresh instead.
