We have 3 sprints, each end on a later date.Sprint1 end date, should we move open issues to Sprnt2

Question

We have 3 sprints,

S1 = week1, ends on Date1, S2 = week2, ends on Date1+7, S3 = week3, ends on Date1+14.

At the end of S1 date, there are still some open issues.  What is best practice?  Do we move remaining open issues to S2 or leave S1 and review in S2 daily standup with S2 sprint?

Hi @[deleted],

when you complete S1 and there are issues not closed (not in the last column of your board), JIRA will ask you what you want to do with these open issues.

If the sprint has incomplete issues, select from one of the following:

* Backlog, to move the issues to the backlog

* Any future sprint, to move the issues to any future sprint that's already created

* New sprint, to create a new sprint and then move the issues to the new sprint

take a look at the following user guide https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/complete-a-sprint/

In my opinion, all unresolved of S1 should be placed in the backlog so that Team and PO can discuss these items and, eventually, plan resolution for one of the future sprints.

If your 3 sprints are already planned with issues then moving open issues  from current issue to the next sprint is not correct way because it will impact the other sprint.

best way would be lets move them to the backlog and let the scrum master or Project manager decide whether they have to handle those issue in next sprint because they know the priority of those issue and the capacity of next sprint.

Accept the answer if it helps
