Learning hub for Scrum Masters

Your single destination for learning Jellyfish, running guided workflows, saving your work, and exploring platform capabilities.

Getting Started

Work through the modules in order if you are new to Jellyfish. If you already know the platform, jump to the metric definitions to sharpen how you frame data during standups, reviews, and retros. Each module maps directly to the dashboards you use most.

Learning modules

These modules form the core of the learning-first experience and connect directly into examples, reference, and playbooks.

Jellyfish fundamentals

Understand what Jellyfish measures, how platform areas connect, and why Scrum Masters should read metrics as workflow signals rather than isolated dashboards.

Covers the 6 product areas: AI Impact, Operational Effectiveness, Planning & Delivery, Business Alignment, DevEx, and DevFinOps.

DORA Metrics

All 4 DORA metrics tracked by Jellyfish, verbatim from jellyfish.co/platform/devops-metrics/

DORA

Deployment Frequency

Track how often the team pushes deployments. See the impact of process and tooling changes to ensure continuous improvement.

DORA

Lead Time for Changes

Understand the duration of your full value delivery cycle, from the moment a change is selected for development to its deployment.

DORA

Mean Time to Resolution

Measure the time from the start of an incident to its resolution, and minimize system downtime.

DORA

Change Failure Rate

Monitor the frequency of incidents or deployment failures to guarantee uninterrupted delivery of value to your customers.

Core metrics

These metric definitions cover the signals that matter most to Scrum Master workflows.

DORA

Deployment Frequency

It reveals whether the team can move work through delivery reliably, not just complete tickets inside a sprint board.

Scrum Master angle: Use it in reviews and retros to connect sprint process changes to actual delivery outcomes.

Developer Experience

DevEx Index

It helps Scrum Masters discuss blockers using evidence instead of only anecdotal retro feedback.

Scrum Master angle: Bring it into retros to identify recurring sources of drag and prioritize systemic improvements.

Business Alignment

Resource Allocation

It helps teams explain why sprint capacity feels constrained and whether KTLO work is crowding out roadmap delivery.

Scrum Master angle: Use it before planning and after retros to ground conversations about focus, spread, and capacity risk.

Delivery

Unlinked Pull Requests

It reveals effort happening outside the delivery workflow, which can erode trust in sprint metrics.

Scrum Master angle: Review it weekly to coach better workflow hygiene and explain metric anomalies.
