Workload per sprint
Report Usage
This bar chart report, useful for SCRUM teams, shows the workload distribution of Jira users for a selected sprint. The Y-axis displays the selected value (e.g., hours spent), and the X-axis lists users with worklogs.
Specific functionality:
Users can switch Sprints on the report card via a dropdown showing all active, future, and completed Sprints for the selected board. You can also select “Current Active Sprint” to make the report dynamic, always showing the active Sprint.
At the top left, the total user workload is compared to their capacity sum.
The board name appears at the top; clicking it redirects you to the board in Jira.
Hovering over a bar displays a tooltip with capacity, assigned workload, available workload, and excessive workload. If no capacity is set, only the assigned workload is shown.
Clicking a Jira user bar opens a subtable listing the user’s assigned issues and the total number within the selected settings. For full guidance on how to work with subtables, see the Working with Subtables .

Specific Report Parameters
Workload type field is required. There are a few options:
Open issues: shows the number of open issues in the Sprint.
Story Point: shows the units for expressing an estimate of the overall effort required to resolve all issues in a Sprint.
Original Estimate: shows the estimated time that that Jira user has specified for the tasks in the Sprint.
Remaining Estimate: shows the time that is left to complete the tasks from the Sprint from the original estimate.
Issues assigned: shows the amount of issues assigned to Jira users in a chosen Sprint.
After choosing the Board this field will be automatically set, but you still can change it.
Sprint capacity sets the amount of work that each team member can commit to completing a sprint. By default, the value is 0. When the value is 0, it will not be shown in the report.
Report Use Cases
✅ Validate that work assigned to each team member fits within their available capacity before sprint start.
