How can I do parallel sprints?

Hi @Sapir Michaeli,

Parallel sprints are a feature that is only available for company managed projects. A Jira admin needs to enable the feature for your site through the following steps:

1. Log in as a user with the Administer Jira global permission.

2. From the global navigation, select Settings () > Products.

3. Under Jira Software configuration, select the toggle for Parallel sprints.

Once the feature  is active, you should be able to start multiple sprints in parallel (from a scrum board linked to company-managed projects).

Hope this helps!

I did it, 

but how I can use it ?

How can I see few sprints and start 2 sprints ?

Hi @Sapir Michaeli

In a team managed project, navigate to your project's project settings > features and enable the Sprints feature. Then, navigate to the backlog view of your project and create a first, second, third, ... sprint. As soon as you drag issues into each sprint, you will see the Start sprint button become enabled. You can then start several sprints simultaneously.

In company managed projects it works more or less the same. Only there's no sprints feature to be enabled. You must make sure that you have a scrum board linked to your project there. When you do, yet again navigate to the backlog view of your board and create / start sprints as desired.

Although the look and feel is slightly different, when you start multiple sprints you will see an option in the active sprint view of your board to toggle between sprints:

And  that's how it works.
