Sprint views

Visualize the work in your Sprints! Sprints are like Lists within a Sprint Folder. Like any List, you can visualize the tasks in a Sprint differently by applying a new view.

Some views help your team easily track their tasks. Others provide an overview of their progress and capacity. 

What you'll need

  • Most views are available on all plans.
    • Team view is only available on paid plans.

      Team view was formerly called Box view.

    • Workload report is available on our Business Plans and above.
  • Guests with Full access to a List or Folder can delete views.

Recommended views

You can use any view to visualize your Sprint tasks. The following views are recommended specifically for Sprints:

  • List view: Group, filter, and bulk-edit tasks quickly.

  • Board view: Tasks are represented as cards, like a Kanban board.

  • Team view: Track your team's progress by status, time estimate, Sprint Points, or any Custom Field that measures effort.

Sprint views in ClickUp 3.0

The info in the location header of a Sprint view is based on settings configured in your Workspace's Default Settings for Sprint Folders modal. These settings apply to all of the Sprint Folders in your Workspace.

If the settings in your Sprint Folder's Default Settings for Sprints modal differ from the Workspace settings, the Folder settings are reflected in the Sprint view.

The following info displays in the location header:

  • Sprint status button: Sprint status is automatically set according to the Sprint start day and time chosen in your Sprint settings. By default, this is Monday at 12:00 a.m.
    Sprints have three statuses:
    • Not Started: Automatically changes to In-progress on the sprint start date.
    • In-progress: Click to manually mark sprint as Done. 
    • Ended: Automatically changes from In-progress on the sprint end date.
  • An icon in the Sidebar next to each Sprint also displays the following colors according to Sprint status:
    • Green: Ended
    • Blue: In-Progress
    • Gray: Not started
    • The pink badge to the right of the Sprint displays the number of unfinished tasks left when the Sprint was closed.

  • Lock forecast: Only displays for In-Progress Sprints.
    Forecast is the amount of work your team estimates per sprint. These settings are used by our new Velocity, Burnup, and Burndown cards to calculate your team's progress.

Manually mark Sprint as Done in ClickUp 3.0

Sprints are automatically marked as done on the sprint's end date.
You can use this option to mark a sprint as done before the end date. If you mark the sprint as done:

  • This action doesn't update the status of any tasks in the sprint. 
  • Any effort completed in this sprint will be calculated until the sprint ends. 
  • If you're reporting on your sprint using Sprint Dashboard cards, the cards will be updated until the Sprint end date.

To manually mark the sprint as Done:

  1. From an In-progress Sprint view, click In-progress.
  2. Click Mark Done.

  4. Click Mark sprint Done.
  5. In the Sprint view, your Sprint status is now Done. This status will automatically change to Ended on the Sprint end date. 

The Sprint Automation to mark sprints as done was permanently enabled for all new and existing Sprint Folders on all ClickUp plans on March 17, 2023.
