JIRA Software Labs enables our customers to test some exciting new functionalities within JIRA Software, giving you a sneak preview of new features coming in future releases of JIRA Software.

Please note that Labs features represent work-in-progress. They may be incomplete, or may change before being incorporated into the application (some Labs features may never be incorporated into the application). We try to keep Labs features stable, but please note that we cannot guarantee that data used while evaluating a Labs feature will be completely intact.

Enabling Labs features

  1. Log in as a user with the 'JIRA Administrators' global permission.
  2. Select JIRA Administration from the top bar, select Applications, then scroll down the page to the JIRA Software section.
  3. Under JIRA Software Labs, select the features that are of interest to you:

Parallel Sprints

Turn on Parallel Sprints to enable multiple active, parallel sprints. For example, if you have two teams working from the same backlog, each team can now work on their own sprint.

Please note the following caveats with this simple approach:

  • The Velocity Chart will not show the velocity per team.
  • The current implementation assumes that the teams perform estimation identically, which is unlikely in practice.

Please note that this feature is still undergoing development and may change from its current implementation.
