Create Sprints with a custom duration

Custom Sprint Duration is currently in Beta and only available if you opt-in on the ClickApps page. Once you opt-in to the Custom Sprint Duration ClickApp, you can't opt-out. Currently, custom Sprints do not support Sprint Automations and Sprint Dashboard cards. Sprint cards do not display accurate information for Sprints that use a custom duration.

Customize Sprint dates to work around holidays, team events, planning days, short Sprints to burn down bug fixes, and longer Sprints to launch large features.

Custom Sprint Durations lets you adjust individual Sprints without changing the default time period settings for your Sprint Folder or Workspace.
