Can you phrase your question better?

What is the issue that you want to discuss about? is that when sprint is completed, what is not showing as Completed?

Nikola Perisic

Welcome @Fatima AlZarooni

What exactly is not being shown as Completed?

When you complete a sprint, the issues that are in Done status category will be removed from the columns that are mapped to that status and also all of the issues that were not completed will be transferred to the sprint of your choosing.

Can you check on below

Check Resolution Field: Ensure that the Resolution field is set for all tickets in the "Done" column. You can do this by adding a post-function in the workflow to set the Resolution when moving tickets to "DONE".
Complete Sub-Tasks: Make sure all sub-tasks are marked as "Done". Jira requires all sub-tasks to be completed before the parent issue is considered done

I'M sorry i didn't understand as i am very new to this. can you refer to my shared image where i have to add the done column and the resolution field ?

regarding subtasks i am sure we are not using it.

The stories that are in Released status and have moved to next sprint, get the issue key of those, and run below jql

key in (<first key>, <second key>) and resolution = Unresolved

If you get some output, means there are issues that don't have resolution set.

Nikola Perisic

Have you mapped your Done issues with the column?

Additionally you can find all of the issues within a closed sprint:

sprint in closedSprints()

how to do that can you please advise

Hi @Fatima AlZarooni -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

For Jira's Scrum boards, an issue is considered completed for the sprint when it is in a status mapped to the last / rightmost column of the board. The resolution, status category, etc. have no impact.

If your "done" status is not mapped to the last / rightmost column, that is why Jira indicates the issues are not done when you try to complete the sprint.

Kind regards,
Bill

thank you so much this really helped. so, in the board it is not necessary to keep all the status right because makes the board really long to scroll. so, if I add a last column from done status which is "Released" my problem will be solved?

Fatima AlZarooni

Hi everyone, I have worked on the suggestion @Bill Sheboy did , and moved Done column to last now this is how my board looks Screenshot 2025-02-14 092250.png

but I have noticed the tasks in my sprint still doesn't shows as story points completed however I have 2 tasks completed and has 3 story points (please see screenshot below)

2 yellow highlighted are in done status but still shows as 0 completed story points.

is that because JIRA will consider any changes before moving the column DONE to the end ??

Fatima AlZarooni

Hello everyone. thank you so much for your help. I have finally reached to a conclusion and my problem is solved.!

thanks a lot, your guys are great !!!!!!!1

Bill Sheboy

You may not need to add another column to the board; just move the status values...

Under board configuration, it is the status mapping to the columns that matter. Please add your final status in the column at the far right side so those issues are considered "completed" for the sprint.
