Starting a sprint

When a sprint candidate has been planned, it's time to start your sprint.

Sprints can be started automatically or manually.

Auto-start

You can set a sprint to start automatically by setting a Sprint start day in the sprint series settings.

Manually

To manually start a sprint, click Start sprint at the top of the sprint planner.

What happens when a sprint "starts"?

When a sprint starts:

• Unassigned issues are re-assigned to the users to which they've been allocated

• Issues assigned to one user, but allocated to a different user, are re-assigned

• Starting sprint metrics are locked in (i.e. allocated issues, allocated points)

If you're integrating with Jira, issues assignments and re-assignments will sync when a sprint is started.

Issues can be added or removed from a sprint after it's been started, but changes will impact the scope change metric of the sprint.
