The Sprint calendar gives Scrum teams a clear, long-term view of their sprints—past, current, and upcoming. It’s designed to support sprint-based planning by showing how work is scheduled over time, helping teams understand upcoming stories, deadlines, and capacity at a glance.

When you open the Sprint calendar, it displays a visual schedule of sprints for the current quarter. You can scroll and zoom to adjust your view.

Each sprint displays its name, the number of stories or bugs included, and the total story points it contains.

📘
The Sprint calendar is designed specifically for Scrum teams and sprint-based planning. While it looks similar to a Timeline, it shows only sprints for a single team and follows Scrum-specific rules—such as preventing overlapping sprints—to support velocity-based planning.

Access the Sprint calendar

You can open your scrum team's Sprint calendar from the side menu:

Under Your teams, click a team name to expand its menu.
Select Sprint calendar.

The Sprint calendar is available only for teams configured with a Scrum workflow.

Using the Sprint calendar

Scroll through the calendar

You can explore the Sprint calendar in several ways:

Horizontally: Drag the calendar or swipe on a mouse or trackpad.
Vertically: Use a mouse wheel or swipe on a mouse or trackpad to move through the sprint list.
Return to today: Click the calendar icon at the top of the calendar.

Adjust zoom levels

Tailor your view to suit your planning needs:

Zoom in to focus on short time spans, such as a few days.
Zoom out to see the big picture, with up to five years displayed at once.

You can adjust zoom by:

Pinching on a trackpad.
Scrolling with the mouse wheel while holding the Ctrl (Windows) or Command (Mac) key.
Using the zoom controls in the bottom-right corner.

Your zoom level is remembered across Sprint calendars.

Adjust sprint height

Changing a sprint's height affects everyone viewing the Sprint calendar.

To view more or less detail:

Adjust a single sprint: Hover over its bottom edge and drag the resize handle to make it taller (up to three lines) or shorter.
Adjust all sprints: Use the height controls in the bottom-left corner of the calendar to set all sprints to one, two, or three lines.

View items in a sprint

Hover over the story or bug icon in a sprint to preview a list of items, including their:

Item ID

Current workflow step

To see the full list of items in a sprint or manage its contents, open the sprint’s details. For more information, see View sprint details.

Create and manage sprints

You can create and manage sprints directly on the Sprint calendar or from the team’s Backlog. Changes made in one view are reflected in the other.

All sprints created on the Sprint calendar are automatically associated with the current team.

Create a sprint on the calendar

On the Sprint calendar, click Create sprint.
In the Create sprint dialog:
- Sprint names must be unique (case-insensitive) within a team. Special characters like @ ' ~ | aren't allowed.
- Optionally, add a description.
- Select Start date and End date.
- Add stories or bugs to the sprint. To remove an item, click the X on its pill.
Click Create sprint, or click X to cancel.

View sprint details

You can access a sprint's details by editing it on the Sprint calendar or by viewing its details on the team's Backlog.

The Sprint details dialog lets you:

View and edit the sprint's start and end dates, including the number of weekdays in the sprint.
View all included items, with details such as Item ID, title, and workflow step.
Add or remove stories or bugs from the sprint.

Edit a sprint

On the Sprint calendar, hover over the sprint you want to edit and click the ellipsis (...) icon.
From the menu, select Edit sprint.
Update the sprint's dates or included items.
To edit the sprint's name or description, click the ellipsis (...) icon next to the sprint name and select Edit sprint details.
Click Done.

You can also rename a sprint directly on the calendar (for more details, see Rename a sprint).

Move and resize sprints

You can also adjust a sprint’s dates directly on the calendar.

Move a sprint: Drag the sprint left or right on the timeline to change its start and end dates.
Resize a sprint: Drag the start or end edge of a sprint to shorten or extend its duration.

Sprint scheduling follows Scrum-specific rules to keep sprints sequential and non-overlapping.

Sprint scheduling rules

Sprint dates are constrained to maintain a clear, sequential schedule:

Sprints can’t overlap with other sprints for the same team.
You can’t drag a sprint’s start date earlier than the end date of the previous sprint.
You can’t drag a sprint’s end date later than the start date of the next sprint.
You can move an entire sprint along the timeline as long as it doesn’t overlap another sprint.

These rules ensure consistent, velocity-based planning.

Change a sprint's color

Sprints are assigned a default color when created, but you can change their color to make them easier to distinguish.

Hover over a sprint.
Do one of the following:
- Click the ellipsis (...) icon next to the sprint and select Change color.
- Click the colored edge of the sprint.
Select a color from the palette.

Color changes are visible to everyone viewing the Sprint calendar.

Rename a sprint

Hover over a sprint.
Click the ellipsis (...) icon and select Rename sprint.
Edit the name of the sprint directly on the calendar.

You can also rename a sprint when you edit a sprint's details.
