Released December 2025 The 2025 Winter Release brings significant improvements to AI-assisted delivery, team observability, and governance controls across the Scrums.com platform.

​
What’s new

​
AI sprint velocity forecasting

Sprint planning now includes AI-generated velocity forecasts based on your team’s historical delivery data. Forecasts account for team size, sprint length, and ticket complexity to produce a confidence-ranged estimate before each sprint begins. Forecasts appear in the sprint planning view and can be overridden by the Scrum Master at any time. Historical forecast accuracy is tracked in the Team Observability dashboard.
Velocity forecasting requires at least four completed sprints of data to generate a baseline.

​
Team observability dashboard v2

The team observability dashboard has been redesigned for faster access to the metrics that matter most. What changed:
  • Cycle time, lead time, and throughput now display as trend charts over rolling 30/60/90-day windows
  • Blocked ticket heatmap shows which team members are most frequently blocked and by what type of issue
  • Sprint burndown and burnup charts are now available side by side
  • Export to CSV is available for all chart data

​
Governance policy controls

Workspace administrators can now define and enforce governance policies directly within Scrums.com. New controls include:
  • Minimum Definition of Done criteria per project type
  • Required reviewer roles before ticket status advancement
  • Automated escalation rules when blocked tickets exceed a configurable threshold
  • Audit log with full history of policy changes and enforcement events
Governance settings are available under Administration → Governance.

​
Staff augmentation marketplace

Finding and onboarding augmented staff is faster with the redesigned marketplace. Improvements:
  • Role-based filtering by technology stack, seniority, and availability
  • Pre-vetted talent pools organized by delivery model
  • One-click engagement requests with SLA-backed response times
  • Integrated background check and compliance status visible on each profile

​
API v2

The Scrums.com public API has been updated to v2. Breaking changes from v1:
  • All endpoints now use /v2/ path prefix
  • Webhook payloads use a standardized envelope format
  • Deprecated /plants demo endpoints have been removed from production
New endpoints:
  • GET /v2/teams — list teams and their current sprint status
  • POST /v2/sprints/{id}/forecast — trigger an AI velocity forecast
  • GET /v2/governance/audit-log — retrieve governance audit events
See the API Reference for full documentation.

​
Bug fixes and improvements

  • Fixed an issue where sprint capacity was not recalculated after team member removal mid-sprint
  • Improved load time for workspaces with more than 500 active tickets
  • Slack integration now correctly threads replies to the originating notification
  • SAML SSO session tokens now expire in alignment with the configured identity provider policy
