Can I rename an active sprint?

[Juni Myers]

We name our sprints based on the work week and have accidentally gotten off and have them incorrectly named. Can I rename an active sprint? And if I do, will it create any issues with our other  future sprints? Thanks!

Hi @Juni Myers ,

there's no problem in renaming an active (or not yet started) sprint. Only completed sprints can't be renamed. It also won't affect your future sprints in a bad way.

See also the Atlassian docs for editing a sprint's name.

Cheers,

Thank you! I found where to rename it in the backlog, like you edit any future sprint. I was concerned about it wreaking havoc with our board, so thank you for the clarification! I just updated the name and I can still pull the metrics just fine! Thanks again!
