Using a next-gen project and want to have concurrent sprints - how do we turn this on please?

Hugh Evans September 22, 2018

Seem to be finding conflicting info on concurrent sprints... We would like to run 2 or 3 at the same time. Any info would be great!

Hi @Hugh Evans,

The Parallel sprints feature lets you enable multiple active sprints that are running in parallel with each other.

You need to enable this feature in the system configuration.

Hi Ollie,

I think there may be a bug - the option was definitely set ON but I can definitely only start one sprint at a time!

@Ollie Guan please can you review this - there is definitely a bug when using the next-gen project... the option is turned on for sure!

Is there also some permission which needs to be set? I am an Admin,

I'd really like to get this working ASAP so your kind assistance would be MOST appreciated!

@Ollie Guan there only seems to be one place to say that the solution worked - by clicking the 'tick'... how do I flag that the solution still needs followup... not even sure you see these messages... hopefully now I've tagged your name you might see it! :)

Hi @Hugh Evans,

I am not sure if multi-sprint function is supported in next-gen projects mode. You can refer to the following article:

https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Agility-articles/Everything-you-want-to-know-about-next-gen-projects-in-Jira/ba-p/894773

Or you can directly report your questions to Atlassian Team online.

Same here. We have this checked, it is working properly in one project, but on other projects this is not working. Any updates?

Same here as well... we started our next gen project about a month ago... but this appears to remain an open issue. Has anyone received any form of update on the status of this clear bug!?
