The Big Summary and The Sprint Performance views coming this July!
TL;DR
In Sprint 22, two key features are in User Acceptance Testing (UAT): a new Summary page as the app home screen and an update to our frequently used feature, Sprint Performance. The Summary page will help you answer key questions about your project: “What are we working on?”, “When will it be done?”, and “How much will it cost?”. Sprint Performance will aid in monitoring and evaluating your team's adherence to sprint/Scrum commitments. We’re currently testing both features and plan to launch them, along with a new Help page in July.
Sprint goal
Our sprint goals included:
Begin UAT on two MVPs: The Big Summary and The Sprint Performance.
Address UAT feedback promptly for a July launch to Early Adopters.
Conduct UAT on an FAQs page that establishes the Help section in the app.
What’s new?
The Big Summary
The Big Summary is your new home page- a visually-rich dashboard designed to answer the big three questions every software leader faces:
What are we working on?
When will it be done?
How much will it cost?
This summary view is the foundation of the rest of your visit, displaying a portfolio level rollup of answers to the big three questions, along with effortless navigation to delve deeper.
We’ll be adding more to this first impression soon too!
See how the below updates more specifically help answer our foundational questions:
What are we working on?
Created a user-friendly overview of ongoing projects, including a projected completion date based on planned and completed work.
Aggregated and individual process assessment for each and all projects that are set up in Bloomfilter, along with quick reads on how much work is planned and if it is idling too much
How much will it cost?
Implemented a comprehensive breakdown of IT resource expenditure, outlining where and how the allocated budget is being spent.
When will it be done?
We’re nearing completion answering the question “When will it be done?”. The release is scheduled for later this month!
This update also includes an overview of the overall work created, Bloomfilter usage by user, and integration status.
The Sprint Performance
The Sprint Performance will help you visualize the performance of each product, or subordinate (think individual sprint ‘boards’, if you split your process views) in your portfolio. This allows you to track how well you’re adhering to sprint/Scrum commitments.
And now you also get The Pillars of Process- Bloomfilter’s six essential factors for achieving continuous and predictable process success. These factors are carefully mined and calculated to help you better understand your transparency, predictability, and efficiency…one cycle at a time! Want to measure to manage? Yeah, this oughta help with that instantly.
Sprint Performance Scoring that helps you quickly understand how a sprint performs against SDLC success principles.
Process Pillars that analyze sprint processes for strategic alignment, complexity, quality, scope, readiness, and efficiency.
You also get: sprint goals, links to retrospectives or product demos; easier historical navigation to view previous sprints.
What else?
Updates
We’re in the final stages of developing a Help page for customers who are in the evaluation phase of using Bloomfilter. It will also include playbooks and guides to assist with establishing a transparent, predictable, efficient SDLC process, serving as the first step towards building a robust knowledgebase to get the most out of your experience with Bloomfilter the product.
We’ve previously talked about our Burn Confidence band, which measures team performance as compared to expectations in a static representation. However, the development lifecycle is constantly changing and requires teams to respond dynamically. We are excited to announce that our latest update to the Burn Confidence Band transforms the band into a dynamic forecasting tool based on a rolling sequence of burn data from past sprints.

Sprint 21 focused on two exciting features: a new Summary page that will serve as the app home screen, and an update on Sprint Performance, our most frequently used feature.
