Sprint closed but user stories are showing in backlog

[Omprakash Thamsetty]

Hi,

I have one sprint that I closed now, which is having 3 user stories in it. As soon as I close the sprint then those 3 user stories are displaying in Backlog still. What configuration need to avoid showing the user stories that are closed in sprint in backlog ?

Using Jira 7.7.2 version.

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks,

Om

Are the stories marked as Done status? Are there any sub-tasks in the stories not yet complete? You need to either move the stories to Done manually or configure it so that they automatically move to Done when all sub-tasks are complete.

@Jack BrickeyYes, all Stories are closed status and then all subtask are also in closed status.

I just verified.

if the stories were in the right-most column of your scrum board (done) at the time you actually closed the sprint they should not be in the backlog. 

• Can you share a screenshot of your backlog and the culprit stories? 
• Is this a new issue? Was it working before?
• If it doesn't mess you up then, as a test/recovery, you could try to start a sprint with those issues only. They should appear in the far right hand column. If they do then close the sprint and see if they move off backlog. If they are not in the far right column please let us know where they appear on your board (screenshot).

Thanks Jack. User said that he did some board configuration then problem got fixed. I am asking the details for fix.
