Adding a page to a sprint

Question

I would like to link a page to a sprint. I know how to do this, however, I cannot add a page in the first place. I need a page because I want a high level summary of each sprint, issues that arise, etc., in an easily digestible format. Although there are many useful Jira fields, I want to be able to post general sprint updates ( not story specific -- Sprint specific ).If you have another recommendation, that would be great as well.

Thank you for the details, Alana.

It's possible to add a description to a Sprint that will show on the backlog and also on the Board.

On the backlog, click on … > Edit sprint.

On Sprint goal you can add a short text and update.

I tested here adding a link using wiki markup or just the URL, but it doesn't make the text clickable, so you can add a link to the documentation, but it will be necessary to copy the link and paste on the browser to open it.

There is a feature request suggesting improvements for the Sprint Goal field:

* Ability to format the Sprint Goal

Hi Angelica! Thanks for your response and sorry for the delay. I am indeed using a classic project and figured out how to add a page. Unfortunately, our subscription does not include this add-on.

I want to determine another way that we can add a description to a sprint. Our backlog contains all of our sprints with their specific stories and tasks. It would be really helpful if there was a way to write a short description about a sprint and link a Box folder where we have all of our sprint documentation. We have story-level descriptions already and utilize them to their fullest capacity. Thoughts?

Hello Alana,

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

In order to link a Confluence page to a Sprint, it's necessary to use a Classic project.

You mentioned that you know how to do but you can't add, so I'm not sure if you are using a Classic or a next-gen project.

If it's indeed a next-gen, there is a feature request suggesting to implement this ability:

* Ability to link pages to a Sprint when using next-gen

If that's not the case, can you please let us know more details about why you can't add the page?

As per I could understand, you also need the page to be automatically updated with information from the sprint, is that correct?

Regards,
Angélica
