SCRUM - Sprint Management (right from Column/Swimlane)

In case you define Columns or Swimlanes by Sprint you can manage sprints and amend sprint details via Columns or Swimlane editing.

Auto populate Sprints (also auto-remove closed)

Once you select Sprint as column/swimlane you have an option to auto-populate it. Turn on appropriate toggle in configuration and App will add new column/swimlane every time it loads/refreshes.

You also have an option to automatically remove closed sprints once completed on the board or in Jira. Obviously if turned on, closed sprints won't be added as columns/swimlanes at first.

Edit sprint details

By clicking on “Edit“ Swimlane configured by Sprint you will see the following dialog, where apart from regular Swimlane configurations and properties you can change Sprint details

Sprint progress

If columns or swimlanes configured by Sprint the App will show sprint progress bar. For now we outline is in Issue Count, but other common measurements - like Story Points and Ideal Hours - will come shortly.

Aggregated Sprint progress

If you define columns by sprints you can also organize them in column groups (as any other columns). In such case we will calculate also aggregated sprint progress for column group. This is very good use case for Product Increments (PIs) or Versions/Deliveries planning comprised of multiple Sprints.

Complete Sprint

If you define columns or swimlanes by sprints you can Complete any active sprint directly from Colum/Swimlane.

Once you click Complete a dialog will show up suggesting to move non-completed items to

  • either next sprint

  • or backlog

There are 2x additional toggles to automate some use cases, namely:

  • You can also decide if you want to drop column/swimlane you are completing from the board or keep it … by using appropriate toggle.

  • You can also decide if you want to add new sprint to the same column group or not.

Start Sprint

If you define columns or swimlanes by sprints you can Start any future sprint directly from Colum/Swimlane.

Once you click start a dialog will show up to specify details and start the sprint.

You need to have at least 1 issue assigned to start the Sprint
