Hi everyone. I have a question. On Monday at 8 AM, I don't want to manually end the current sprint and start the next one. Right now, the old sprint ends, but the new one doesn't start automatically. What should I do?

Hello @Njcovich 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

What version of Jira Data Center are you using?

I found this documentation for automatically stopping and starting sprints:

https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirasoftwareserver/configuring-a-sprint-to-auto-start-and-auto-complete-1235848794.html

I recommend that you review the details of your configuration comparing that to the information in the document to make sure you have it configured correctly.

Since your sprints are automatically stopping, I would conclude that you have set the Auto stop/start option for each sprint you are creating.

Do you have a start date specified for every sprint?

Does the sprint that did not automatically start show the "auto managed" lozenge in the Backlog view?
