Create and Manage Sprints

You can create and manage sprints from the Backlog view of a Scrum board. You must be a project owner or the board owner to create, edit, update, or delete a sprint.

When an issue is assigned to a sprint, the sprint is displayed in all boards whose issue query returns any issue of the sprint in its result. You might find such sprints in your board. Note that you can’t edit or start sprints that you didn’t create, or sprints that weren’t created in the current board.

If there are no issues assigned to a sprint, the sprint is available only in the board in which it was created.
