Apptoberfest 2025: The Sprint That Always Starts & Stops Itself

[#1]

🍻 Cheers to the sprints that actually start on time!

We’ve all been there - the sprint’s supposed to start at 10 a.m. Monday, but it’s Wednesday before someone notices. Reports are off, velocity dips, and half the team’s asking, “Wait… did we start the sprint?” 😅That’s why we built Auto Sprint Start Stop, a “set-and-forget” Jira Cloud app by PgM Innovations - made for Scrum Masters and Agile teams.

What It Does (In One Breath)

🔹Auto-starts and stops sprints exactly when scheduled - no manual clicks.

🔹Moves open tickets to the next sprint or backlog automatically.

🔹Catches up even if dates are in the past - no missed cycles.

🔹Runs every 30 minutes or instantly when you click Save.

🔹Supports both company-managed and team-managed projects.

🔹 Permission-based access to the app, allowing a specific user to configure the app. 

Built to Run on Atlassian — Secure by Design

Auto Sprint Start Stop is proudly built on Atlassian Forge & Runs on Atlassian, meaning it runs entirely within the Atlassian Cloud — no third-party servers, no external data storage, no hidden APIs.

This architecture keeps your data private, secure, and enterprise-grade scalable — exactly the way Jira should be.

Why Teams Love It

• No more “Oops, forgot to start the sprint.”

• Fewer admin tasks, more focus on delivery.

• Works seamlessly across multiple boards — from one app screen.

 Scrum Masters, Agile Coaches, and Program Managers call it “the most peaceful automation in Jira.”

Just like your other demo, I've added this demo to the unofficial Apptoberfest board, to make it easier to find and browse all submissions.
