Rename a Portfolio planning sprint

[Mark Hetherington]

How can I rename a sprint that Portfolio automatically creates per team during auto planning?

Hi Mark, you can't rename a generated sprint, but you can create custom sprints for a team, in the team details page:

Basically then for the given time period, the fixed sprint is used rather than the generated one, sprints are generated "around" it, i.e., afterwards and if needed before. 

Modelling a fixed sprint also allows you to assign backlog items into particular sprints if needed.

Note: this feature is available from Portfolio 1.9 or higher

Is this feature available in Portfolio 2.0+?

Thanks; this has worked for me.

 The only side effect is that by specifying custom sprints for each team, one

has to always group by team when viewing Schedule because, although the teams' sprints do run to the

same schedule, Portfolio does not recognise this.
