Iterations Overview
Analyze sprint performance across Current, Completed, and Trends tabs to improve delivery, accuracy, and team effort.
The Iterations view in the Teams area provides a detailed timeline-based overview of your team’s delivery, planning accuracy, and investment profile. The view includes three tabs: Current, Completed, and Trends, helping you analyze your team’s sprint-by-sprint execution patterns and capacity alignment.
Accessing the Iterations Page
To access the Iterations dashboard:
- Go to the Teams section from the main sidebar.
- Click Iterations.
You’ll see three tabs:
- Current: Focus on the current iteration.
- Completed: Explore results from past sprints.
- Trends: Track patterns over time

Current Tab
The Current tab gives you an overview of your team's in-progress iteration.

You can:
- View a summary of accuracy scores, including:
- Planning Accuracy: How closely the team executes what was planned.
- Capacity Accuracy: How closely the team's completed work matches their capacity.
- Track Delivery, showing:
- Planned vs. completed story points.
- Added work during the iteration.
- Understand the Investment Profile (tasks, stories, bugs, vulnerabilities).
- Review People Effort:
- Total FTE.
- Most active contributors in the current iteration.
This view helps you answer:
- Are we on track to complete the planned work?
- Is added work impacting our velocity?
- How balanced is our investment in different types of work?

Completed Tab
The Completed tab displays metrics from previous iterations.

- Quickly compare past iteration scores for planning and capacity accuracy.
- See which team members contributed to each sprint.
- Click into each iteration for a detailed breakdown of:
- What was planned vs. completed.
- How much unplanned work was added.
- Investment profile by issue type.
- Team member participation.
This historical view is useful for sprint retrospectives and performance reviews.

Trends Tab
The Trends tab aggregates data across multiple past iterations.

- Accuracy Scores Over Time:
- Visualize planning and capacity accuracy across sprints.
- Planned vs. Executed:
- Bar chart comparing what was planned vs. what was completed in each sprint.
- Investment Profile Over Time:
- Track shifts in how effort is distributed across issue types.
- People Effort Over Time:
- View average FTE and team participation across sprints.
These visual trends help you:
- Spot deviations from planning.
- Understand where the team’s focus is shifting.
- Identify sustainable work patterns and potential burnout risks.

AI Iteration Summary
If your workspace has gitStream AI enabled, you can view AI-generated summaries of iteration activity. These summaries highlight:
- Notable improvements or regressions.
- Recommendations based on AI-detected trends.
Click View AI Summary from the top-right of the Current or Completed tabs to access these insights.
By combining historical context, current execution, and trend analysis, the Iterations feature helps teams continuously improve their sprint planning, delivery reliability, and engineering investment strategy.
