Tip

Looking for a list of sprints and sprint meta data in a Jira space? There’s an easy way to get it through the REST API - no coding or dev skills required!

Step 1: Visit a board in a Jira space and copy it’s unique ID in your browser’s address bar.

Step 2: Add the board ID to this URL:
https://your-jira-site.atlassian.net/rest/agile/3.0/board/board-id/sprint

Explanation

Are team members are constantly asking:

• How many sprints have we had this year?
• When does the next sprint start?
• When does the last sprint of the quarter end?
• Is sprint X still active?
• Which boards don't have sprints created?

They can get some of this information from the "Active Sprints" page in a Jira space, but sometimes it's easier to give them a simple URL to get a list of all sprint details in one place.

Bonus tip: In Chrome, click the "pretty print" checkbox at the top left to improve readability. (Pictured)
