Is there a way to complete all the sprint at once?

Question

All our sprints start and end on the same date, usually, we have around 10 - 15 active projects, each project managed by different teams, we would like the automate the sprint completion. If it is no a standard Jira functionality, Do you think we can program this through the API?

Hello!

There is no option as far as I know to complete all sprints at once with the UI. As you mentioned, it is possible to update a sprint with the REST API.

Link: https://docs.atlassian.com/jira-software/REST/7.3.1/#agile/1.0/sprint-updateSprint

* A sprint can be completed by updating the state to 'closed'. This action requires the sprint to be in the 'active' state. This sets the completeDate to the time of the request.

I would use that to script the automation using either a plugin (ScriptRunner, Power Scripts, etc.) or externally from Jira with whatever you feel comfortable with!

If you think it answers your question, don't hesitate to mark the question as answered :)

Cheers,

Julien
