Some context for the issue: * The team is operating on 2-week sprints * Project workflow: To Do, In Progress, In Review, Done, Closed * Sprints are closed and started on another Project. As stories are completed, we move work into the 'Done' column. When a new sprint begins, any work previously completed is being carried over into the new sprint (and remains marked as 'Done').

Why is completed/done work carrying over into a new sprint?

The solution of this particular issue was making sure that our project was using the same 'Resolved' (rather than 'Done') status for completed work (which the other project was using).

The board only considers the far right column to be "done". You need the issues to be in the last column when you close the sprint.

Derek_0enbso

Thanks for responding. We do statuses mapped to the last column.

@Derek,

What is the status of the "completed" Stories that are being carried over? - DONE or CLOSED or Both?

Can you tell me what the color of the DONE and CLOSED status indicators are in the workflow? (Yellow, blue, grey, green)?

Derek_0enbso

Completed stories are marked as "Done."

Both "Done" and "Closed" are green in the workflow.

Anup_b4x6el

Ok. Are there any sub-tasks for these stories that aren't closed?

Derek_0enbso

No subtasks. I realize that I did not share a potentially critical piece of info in the original post.

Managing the sprint (complete/start new) is actually done through a different Jira project than the one that the team operates within.

Our Product Design sprints are tied to Development project sprints.

Would a mismatch in workflows between projects be the culprit? The Development 'Done' column does not include a 'Done' status item.
