How to enable create sprint button in Scrum board ?

[ajeya siddhartha]

I have created a backlog and added some stories in it but I cannot see the "create sprint button". Being the admin, I have all the permissions and am using a scrum board. Please advise

Hi @ajeya siddhartha Welcome to the Atlassian community.

To be able to start the sprint, you need to have the managed sprint permission in all the projects that are mentioned in the board's filter.

Hi, I have the manage sprint permission. Pls refer the screenshot

Hi @ajeya siddhartha Looks like you missed the screenshot.

[Utkarsh Singh]

Ok, can you show the board's filter?

[ajeya siddhartha]

Hi, I added it in the main question as others were also asking about permissions

[Utkarsh Singh]

Got it!! Can you share a screenshot of the board's filter? 

[ajeya siddhartha]

how do I view the board's filter ?

[Utkarsh Singh]

Please refer to the link in my first comment.

Hey, I followed the link you mentioned but couldn't find the board settings. Am I in the right place ?

[Laurie Sciutti]

click the "Configure board" link....

Looking that this screenshot- you're using team-managed projects. These projects don't use permission schemes but instead have roles that have permissions. So in other words, the first screenshot that you shared has nothing to do with this project.

Coming to the solution, go to project setting(bottom-left)> Access > Add people and add yourself to the administrator role.

If it still doesn't works, share the screenshot of the backlog.

ok, do you want me to create a custom filter or do something else on this page ?

[Utkarsh Singh]

@Laurie Sciutti filters are not present in TMP. So there shouldn't be anything inside the Configure board option.

The only thing that plays a role in TMP is the permissions(in short the project roles). Assuming that roles haven't been modified, getting added to the admin role should be sufficient.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

I think everyone was already admin for this project, Attaching backlog ss as well

[Utkarsh Singh]

You haven't enabled the sprint feature in the project setting.

ohh, thanks for bearing with me @Utkarsh Singh and @Laurie Sciutti :) 
Finally solved the issue !!

[Utkarsh Singh]

No worries mate!! :)

hi @ajeya siddhartha ~ check your permission scheme and ensure you have the "Manage sprints" permission as part of your role.

[ajeya siddhartha]

Hi, I have the permission . Pls refer screenshot in the original question

Thanks @Laurie Sciutti  :)
