Key Takeaways
- Sprint Automation for Jira configures any number of boards to start and end sprints automatically, so teams do not track sprint dates by hand.
- Teams choose how incomplete items are handled, moving them to the next sprint or back to the backlog, and whether a new sprint is created.
- The app suits large-scale Agile implementations that run multiple synchronized Release Trains, keeping sprint boundaries coordinated.
- Automating sprint start and stop removes the manual mistakes that come from managing many boards by hand.
