Add Sprints to a Sprint Folder

Sprints are Lists that you add to Sprint Folders.

There are three ways to add Sprints to a Sprint Folder:

• On the Business Plan and up, you can enable two Automations that add Sprints and tasks to your Sprint Folder.
• On Free Forever and Unlimited Plans, you can manually add Sprints.
• If neither of these settings is right for your Workspace, take a look at Custom Sprint Duration. This feature allows you to adjust individual Sprints without changing the default time-period settings for your Sprint Folder or Workspace. It also allows for more flexibility.

  For example, without Custom Sprint Duration enabled, Sprints can only be set in 1–4 week increments. With Custom Sprint Duration enabled, Sprints can be set for any number of days.

Add Sprints using Automations on Business Plans and up

Take a look at our article Sprint Automations to learn about all available Sprint Automations. 

To add Sprints using Automations:

1. In the Sidebar to the right of the Folder where you want to apply the Automation, click the ellipsis ... menu. 
2. Select Folder settings, then Sprint Folder Settings. 
3. In the Default Settings for Sprints modal in the Settings section, select Automations.
4. Click the toggle to enable the following Automations:
   • When Sprint is done then Create new Sprint: By default, when a Sprint is marked Done, one new Sprint is added to the Sprint Folder where the Automation was enabled. After clicking the toggle on, you can set the number of times a Sprint will be added by typing another number into the number field.

     

     For example, in your Workspace's Sprint settings Sprints are set for a 1-week duration. In this Automation's number field, you set the number of Sprints to 5. After this week's Sprint is marked Done, the next 5 Sprints are automatically added to this Sprint Folder.

   • When Sprint is done then Move tasks to next Sprint: After the current Sprint is marked as Done and before the next Sprint starts, unfinished tasks will be moved to the next Sprint. Tasks will no longer be included in the previous Sprint. 
     Make sure you have all the info! Take a look at our article Sprint reporting and planning for info on how to mark a Sprint as Done. 
5. Click Done.

Manually add Sprints on any Plan 

To add manually add Sprints on any plan:

• In the Sidebar, expand a Sprint Folder and click +Create Sprint under the last Sprint List in the Folder. 
• Or in the Sidebar, click the plus icon next to the Sprint Folder and select Sprint. 
• Or click the ellipsis ... next to the Sprint Folder or a Sprint in the Sprint Folder. Select Create new, then click Sprint. 

From the Create Sprint modal, you can customize the settings.

The following settings default to what is set in the Default Settings for Sprint Folders at the Workspace level:

• Sprint name: By default, each Sprint is numbered sequentially starting with 1. Your first 2 Sprints will be named Sprint 1 and Sprint 2. To edit the Sprint name:
  • Click into the Sprint name text box, delete Sprint, and type a new name. The Sprint name must include {INDEX}so that the Sprints will be numbered sequentially.
• Use template: Assign a List template to this Sprint. A template assigned here will only apply to this Sprint. 
  The template name will display if a template has already been assigned to this Sprint.
• Sprint duration: If the Folder-level Sprint settings were edited to override the Workspace settings, this setting defaults to the Folder-level duration.
  You can change this at the Workspace level to apply the same duration to all Sprints in your Workspace. 
  You can change this at the Folder level to apply the same duration to all Sprints in this Folder. 
• If Custom duration is enabled in your Workspace, you can also choose that option.
• Sprint Goal: This goal displays in the Sprint's location header. 
• Click Create.

Add or move tasks to a Sprint 

A Sprint is a List you add tasks to. 

You can create your tasks in the Sprint. Or you can add or move tasks from any other List or Sprint.

Move a Sprint Folder

The Sprint ClickApp must be enabled in the Space you're moving a Sprint Folder to. If it's not, you can enable it or convert the Sprint to a standard Folder with Lists.

To move a Sprint Folder to a different Space in your Sidebar:

• Drag and drop the Sprint Folder to a different Space.
• Or click the ellipsis next to the Sprint Folder and select Move.
