In Two Parallel Sprints Limiting Max/Min Constraints to Each of Them

[Mohamad Ibrahim]

I have two parallel sprints in my active sprint board. Setting up Max/Min for each column will constrain the total of the two sprint issues. I want max/min to be set for each sprint individually

[Jack Brickey]

The max/min is a board feature not a sprint feature so this cannot be achieved unless you split sprints into two boards.

@Jack Brickey Thanks for your feedback. So, you are suggesting to have two active boards for the same project? how can I run two sprints in parallel under two boards

[Jack Brickey]

@Mohamad Ibrahim, TBH I'm probably not the best person to advise you on parallel sprints. While i'm certainly aware that this feature exists, I have never attempted or desired to use the Parallel Sprints feature. I get the concept of multiple teams working from the same backlog but by doing this you just loose too many important Agile features: Min/Max, team velocity, etc. For me I prefer to have one sprint per project but you should be able to create two scrum boards for a project. I don't know how you partition your sprints but let's say it is by component (Cars, Bicycles) for the sake of the following explanation:

• Cars scrum board: project = Transportation and component = Cars
• Bicycles scrum board: project = Transportation and component = Bicycles
• The scrum master can run one or two scrum processes/meetings ordering backlogs, creating and starting sprints, etc

The downside is that you have two completely separate scrum boards to manage instead of one. The upside is you get to run a (IMO) cleaner agile process and take advantage of the tools built in reports and features.

hope this helps and maybe others in the Community that leverage Parallel Sprint have better input.
