Resolving conflicts in parallel sprints
Portfolio for Jira now lets you accurately schedule the work of teams that are sharing a board, and are working in parallel sprints.
Conflicts happen when there are overlapping start or end dates across the active parallel sprints, or when one sprint ends and another sprint starts on the same day.
When such conflicts happen:
- Portfolio for Jira notifies you about the overlapping sprints on your board.
- You can choose to resolve the conflict at the time, by assigning each sprint to a different team.
- You can also consider assigning future sprints to your teams, to avoid future conflicts.
