Done issues show on new sprint after sprint is completed

Prince Abih

When I complete a Sprint, why does done issues always make it to the next sprint? I end up having numerous issues in one sprint backlog. I want to see that only uncompleted issues are moved to the next sprint backlog and not the done issues.

Where are done issues kept after a sprint is completed.

Please what do I do?

Hello @Prince Abih

Are you working with a Company Managed project or a Team Managed project? It will say at the bottom of the navigation pane on the left.

When you complete the sprint do you get a pop-up telling you how many issues where completed and how many are incomplete, and giving you an option to put them in the backlog or the next sprint?

Only the issues in the column farthest to the right on your board will be considered "complete" when the Sprint is ended. It does not matter what the actual status of the issue is, only whether or not that status is mapped to the right-most column of the board.

Are the issues that are ending up in you next sprint assigned Statuses that are NOT mapped to the right-most column of your board?

Additionally if an issue has any Subtasks in a Status that is not in the right-most column of the board, then that issue will also be considered incomplete.

Thank you @Trudy P Claspill I work with both a Team Managed project and a Company Managed one, in each case the same thing happen? I am being asked if to put the issues on backlog or new sprint but I want the done issues not to follow suit.
Is it possible to hide the done issues so they do not appear on the next sprint?

Also, if all issues for the sprint have moved to the last column before I ended the Sprint, what will happen to those issue? Will they go hidden? or travel to the next sprint backlog or backlog.

The issues that are considered complete (in the right most column of the board) will not be moved to the backlog or the next sprint when you end the current sprint. Only incomplete issues will move to the option you select.

Issues that are in the right most column will remain displayed in that column until you end the sprint. They will not be hidden unless you use a filter to hide them.

When you end the sprint, those issues will no longer display on the board because the board displays only issues in Active sprints. The issues will also no longer display in the Backlog screen because that screen display only issues in Active Sprints, Future Sprints, and in the backlog. The issues still exist, they are just no longer displayed because the work is "done". You can still see the issues by selecting the Issues option in the navigation pane, by viewing Sprint reports under the Reports option in the navigation pane, and searching for them.
