Update an Issue’s Progress in an Active Sprint

You can update an issue’s progress in the Active Sprints view by dragging it from one progress column to another.

If you’re unable to use the drag-and-drop action, click the issue ID to update its progress from the Edit Issue page.

  1. Open the board that owns the active sprint.
  2. Click Active Sprints.
  3. Select the issue list view: Swimlanes or Columns.
  4. To update an issue’s progress, drag and drop it from one column to another.
    For example, when a team member starts work on an issue, drop the issue to the In Progress column (if exists).
  5. In the Change Progress wizard, from the To drop-down list, select the new status of the issue. If necessary, enter a comment in the Comment field.
    If you want to update the time spent on the issue, click Next.
  6. Click OK.

If the board uses story points, the number to the right of the column name is updated. An activity is also added to the History tab of the issue’s Activity section.

Update Time Spent on an Issue

When you move an issue from one state to another, you can also update the time spent on the issue in the Change Progress wizard.

In the Add Time Spent page, in Time Spent, specify the number of days you’ve spent on the issue. In Remaining, use the default Reduce remaining ... days by entered Time Spent option to automatically subtract the value specified in Time Spent from the existing value of Remaining, if Remaining was set previously.

If Remaining was not set, then the value specified in Time Spent is subtracted from Estimate. The option is disabled if the Estimated field isn’t set.

To specify the remaining days manually, select the Set to option and specify the remaining days.
