Resolving conflicts in parallel sprints
This page discusses the usage of Portfolio for Jira live plans. If you're using the redesigned planning interface, see the following pages instead:
Portfolio for Jira can help you 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:
- You will be notified 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.
