Editing a sprint(s)

Sam_padguq

On the Backlog view of our project, I can only edit the Active sprint. The "edit sprint" choice is greyed out for other sprints, is that a configuration setting?

Also is there a place to see and edit all the sprints that have been defined for this board or project?

Hello @Sam

Are you working with a Team Managed project or a Company Managed project? That information will show at the bottom of the navigation panel on the far left.

Sprints can have issues from multiple projects, so there is not an effective manner for seeing all sprints associated with a project.

While sprints are created in a board, there is no restriction on which issues can be added to the sprint. An issue that is not actually part of that board might get added to a sprint for that board. Sprints will display on any board where the sprint has an issue that is within the scope of the board's filter.

In Jira Cloud there is no easy method in the UI for getting a list of all sprints created from a specific board.

Having said all that, the ability to manage/edit a sprint can be impacted by your permission within the projects for the issues that have been included in the sprint. If the sprint includes an issue from a project where you don't have the Manage Sprint permission, that could block you from being able to edit the sprint.

I am unable to tell by looking at the bottom left menu of my project. I can only see "Project settings" at the bottom left. I tried looking thru the Summary and Details page of the project to see if it is written in long-hand, but failed at that also. I read thru https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/what-are-team-managed-and-company-managed-projects/. but that did not give me any other indications on how to confirm company vs team managed project.

I have project administrator role for the project. The Edit Sprint permissions has been given to Administrator. On the board, I can only edit the sprint marked Active. All the other springs do not have issues from other projects but I can only see the move up/down actions, edit/delete sprint were both greyed out.

Hello Sam,

You should see this at the bottom of the navigation panel on the left.

It should say either "company-managed" or "team-managed" there.

Alternately if you go to Projects > View All Projects, and find your project, its type should be displayed in the Type column.

Are you able to create a brand new sprint in this board? If you create a brand new sprint with now issues in it, do you then have the Edit option?

Does the board you are viewing include issues from only one project, or from multiple projects?

Can you provide screen images of what you are seeing?

Software version I am seeing at the bottom of the screen is:

The "Type" I see is either "Software<>" or "Business" in the list of Projects.

I made a copy of the board that I was looking at to make sure I am the "board" administrator. With the new board, I can confirm that I can create new sprints and I can edit the new sprint. However, there are still some sprints I can't edit. The ones where the "start sprint" button is greyed out. Would that be related? The new sprint that I created with no issues in it, the "start sprint" is greyed out and I can edit the sprint. Some of the existing sprints where "start sprint" is greyed out, I can't edit. Other existing sprints where "start sprint" is available, I can edit.

The board query only has issues from one project and I have the administrator role of that project.
