* 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](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/6TKn9QGyxM7XnkX9N9kSrQ#components-installed-with-agile-2.0 "Several types of components are installed with activation of the Agile Development 2.0 plugin, including tables, user roles, and properties.").

For more information on the Agile board, see [Agile board in Agile Development 2.0](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/BLGHMNHQo_S9lrh4aCO6xA "The Agile board is a landing page where you can perform key actions of the scrum process. These actions include managing your backlogs, planning your sprints, and tracking the sprint progress.").

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllAgile DevelopmentAgile 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

   {#plan-sprint-activities__substeps_ak1_nkr_h5b}  
   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](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/FWP1KmhSRsrZcESw9eNu0A "Create multiple sprints at once for one or more Agile Development 2.0 assignment groups to save time.").
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](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/Safbtqza~RR_6oGAtosP4Q "Create high-level definitions of your requirements in the form of stories in Agile Development 2.0. Manage and track your stories by associating them to a product, project, or release and by assigning them to an assignment group.").
   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.
   {#plan-sprint-activities__substeps_lzc_flr_h5b}
8. Personalize columns in a list using the personalize option (![Update Personalized list icon]()).
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.

    {#plan-sprint-activities__substeps_z52_cw5_h5b}
