What are custom sprint durations?

Custom Sprint Durations is an optional feature available as a setting on the Sprints ClickApp.

Custom Sprint Durations let you change the start and end dates of each sprint, without changing the default settings for your Sprint Folder, Sprint Subfolder, or Workspace.

Custom Sprint Duration is currently in Beta and only available if you opt-in.

Once you opt in to the Custom Sprint Duration ClickApp, you can't opt-out.

Once you enable Custom Sprint Duration, you will no longer be able to create multiple Sprints at the same time.

Sprint reporting with Custom Sprint Durations

Custom Sprint Durations work with the new Sprint Dashboard cards. Legacy sprint reporting cards are not supported.
