How to create a new sprint for an existing team? #6

Closed mdblorenzo closed 11 years ago

mdblorenzo commented 11 years ago

Hi,

Apologies in advance if the answer is a very obvious/simple solution, I feel like I'm missing something really basic even asking the question: how do you create a new sprint for an existing team?

I can set-up an initial sprint hen creating the team, and I can create a number of backlogs. What I can't find (and I have spent a while searching for this) is how to create the next sprint.

TIA

Lorenzo.

Hi

No need to apologize as there isn't any kind of user documentation ;)

There is only one active sprint per team. New sprint is created when you close the current sprint. In the planning view the sprint initially has a 'Commit' button, which should be clicked after sprint planning. Then 'Close' button is shown which can be used at the end of the sprint to close it and create a new one.

Technically the teams current active sprint is always the same pool. This way you can for example create saved searches for the current sprints and don't need to update them everytime the sprint changes. When the sprint is closed a new "archive" pool is created, resolved items from the current sprint are moved to that pool and current sprint is renamed to reflect the new sprint dates. The past sprints can be viewed from the 'All sprints' link in the team page.

Got it, and therefore any open items in the sprint also 'move' automatically to the new sprint, that's elegant.

You saved me asking another question which I was coming to: "What's the purpose of the Commit button".

Many thanks, Lorenzo.
