Plan mode is where you plan your sprints. When a sprint is ready to begin, it moves out of Plan mode into Work mode.

  • Plan mode is mostly used by Scrum teams — Kanban teams will generally only use Work mode.
  • Unable to render {include} The included page could not be found.

In Plan mode you can:

  • Prioritise the Backlog — Create issues for your backlog, rank and estimate them, and pull the marker (the grey 'Sprint' box) down to grab a set of issues you'd like to tackle for your first iteration.
  • Estimate Stories — You can use the 'J' and 'K' keys to move through issues in the backlog and get details on the right-hand side of the screen. Plug in your estimates or story points as you go.
  • Plan, and Plan Again — When you're happy with the stories for the iteration, click the 'Start Sprint' button and the stories will move into Work mode. While a sprint is active in Work mode, you can still plan a subsequent iteration in Plan mode, but you won't be able to start it until the active iteration is completed. (You can, however, drag and drop an issue in Plan mode onto the active sprint.) Note that you can only start (or complete) a sprint if you have 'Project Administrator' permission for all issues in the sprint.

(info) Note that Plan mode is currently in Labs. Also note that Plan mode is only available for boards of type Scrum — see Creating a Rapid Board.

 

Using Quick Filters

Quick Filters refine the collection of issues displayed in Plan mode. Quick Filters appear immediately below the board name. Click a Quick Filter to apply it.

By default your board includes two filters:

  • 'Only My Issues' — Only display issues which are assigned to you.
  • 'Recently Updated' — Only display issues which were updated in the last 24 hours.

(info) If any custom Quick Filters have been configured for this board, they will replace 'Only My Issues' and 'Recently Updated'.
