Plan your sprint activities in Agile Development 2.0

Streamline your sprint activities such as creating, editing, and completing sprints, or adding stories to sprints, using the Sprint Planning tab of the Agile board.

Before you begin

• You must be a member of an agile group to access the Sprint Planning tab.
• You can perform only a set of actions on the Sprint Planning tab based on the role that is assigned to you. For more information, see roles in Components installed with Agile Development 2.0.
• Role required: scrum_admin, scrum_master, or scrum_sprint_planner

About this task

• Steps 1 through 3 take you to where you can plan your sprint activities.
• Steps 4 through 11 provide various actions that you can perform to plan your sprints. Choose the ones that suit your requirement.

For more information on the Agile board, see Agile board in Agile Development 2.0.

Procedure

1. Navigate to All > Agile Development > Agile Board.
2. Select the Sprint Planning tab.
3. From the Group field, select an assignment group for which you want to plan the sprint activities.

   The list displays all the teams to which you are added as a group member. The default assignment group is the team that you have selected earlier or the first team in which you were added as a group member.

4. Create a sprint.
   1. Select Create Sprint.
   2. On the form, fill in or update the fields.
   3. Select Submit
   Alternatively, you can also create sprints in bulk for an assignment group and come back to this planning tab to continue planning your sprints. See Create sprints in bulk in Agile Development 2.0.
5. Edit a sprint.
   1. Open the sprint form by selecting its name.
   2. In the Sprint form, update its details.
      Until the sprint begins, you can also update the capacity of the assignment group using the Group capacity field to account for changes in team composition, holidays, or vacations.
   3. Select Update.
6. Add a new story to the backlog.
   1. Select Create Story.
   2. On the form, fill in the fields.
      For field information, see Create a story in Agile Development 2.0.
   3. Select Submit.

      The story appears at the bottom of the backlog. You can edit the story details by selecting its number. If you have read-only access, you can view the story form but cannot edit the story details.

7. Add a story to the backlog or a sprint and simultaneously decide its order of implementation.
   1. From the Backlog or a sprint, select the row of a story under which you want to add the new story.
   2. Repeat steps 6a through 6c.
      The new story is placed under the story that you initially selected.
8. Personalize columns in a list using the personalize option ().
9. Arrange the stories according to your priority by reordering the stories in the Backlog or any of the sprint sections.
10. Start a sprint by selecting Start Sprint in the section of the top sprint.
    The Sprint Tracking tab appears.
11. Mark a sprint complete by selecting Complete Sprint in the section of the top sprint.
    1. In the Complete Sprint dialog box, move any incomplete stories to the backlog or a future sprint.
    2. Select Complete.
    The sprint is marked complete and disappears from the Sprint Planning tab.
