In Jira, the specific time period for which teams have to complete different sets of issues in the continuous development cycle is called a sprint. The product owner and the team members will typically decide on the duration of the sprint. The sprint is usually one, two, or four weeks long.
To create a sprint we need to follow these steps:
First, we need to go to the backlog of our scrum project. Click on backlog, appearing on the left-hand side.
In the second step, we need to click on the create sprint button present in the right corner.
After clicking on the create sprint button, the following screen will appear.
A new sprint will be created with the name “Sprint 1”.
We can add the issue to the sprint in the following steps.
First, we click on the backlog.
Then we need to right-click on the issue present in the backlog list. After that, select the sprint which we want to add to our issue. Now a new sprint will be created with the name ‘Sprint 1’.
Now when you select Sprint 1 you will see that our issue is already added to our sprint.
To remove an issue from any sprint we need to follow the given steps.
First, we need to click on the backlog.
Then drag and drop the issue that we need to move from our Sprint 1 back to the backlog list.
This picture shows that the issue TP-1 is moved from Sprint 1 to the backlog.
The following are the steps to start a sprint:
First, we need to click on the backlog.
After clicking the backlog we click on the start sprint button.
Then we need to fill in all the details to start a sprint such as name, duration, end date, etc.
Now, we need to start Sprint 1. Then this issue will come under the TODO state.
Here are the steps to end a sprint.
First, we need to go to the backlog and click it.
Then we need to go to the left side of the project and click on the active sprints.
Then, select the sprints which we want to complete or end.
Once all the issues under our sprint are completed then we have to click on the complete sprint button appearing at the top right corner to mark it as completed.
This picture shows whether all the issues have been completed or not. If your issues are not completed then it will ask you to move the issues to another sprint which is not yet completed.
These are the steps to delete a sprint.
First, we need to navigate to the backlog.
Then we need to select the sprint that we want to delete. Click on the ‘…’ icon and from the dropdown select the delete the sprint option.
After clicking the delete the sprint button a confirmation screen will appear. We then need to click on the confirm button to delete the sprint.
